    Full support and personal service

    • You will have a dedicated Sales Negotiator, looking after you throughout the selling process.
    • We are available 7 days a week with extended opening hours, so support is on hand by calling 03330 430090 or online – however best suits you.
    • As a full-service law firm, we can also handle the legal aspects of the sale for you, with our legal and estate agency teams working closely together to make the whole selling process seamless.
    • We will also arrange a Home Report for you through a chartered surveyor. A Home Report is a legal requirement for selling a house in Scotland, unless it is New Build property that has not been lived in.
    • With property selling and buying services all under one roof, you can easily find your next property in the East of Scotland with us too. And if you are selling in Scotland and buying in England, we can handle the whole legal side for you, as we have Solicitors qualified in both Scottish and English law.

    We are regulated by The Law Society of Scotland following strict rules of professional conduct.

    Contact us to arrange your free property appraisal, for advice on the current market and how we can help you maximise your property sale. Visit your local Thorntons property office, call us on 03330 430090 or email us.

    Many thanks to Thorntons for selling my mum and dads flat so quickly - it has been so much less stressful than it would be in England and I've really appreciated both the estate agency and solicitors customer service. I can't imagine how it could have gone better and feel like you have all been so understanding of our situation and the fact we were not based locally. It is such a relief the whole transaction has gone so smoothly. Thanks Again.
