From initial contact regarding the purchase and sale of our property, ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan Solicitors have been very professional. Paul handled the purchase of our new home, Tracy organised the sale of our home and a special mention to Angela who kept us updated regularly via phone and email throughout the selling process, she also answered, or checked with colleagues any questions we had and got back to us quickly. Angela made the selling process seamless. We would defiantly recommend ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan for their outstanding customer service. Special thanks to Paul, Tracy & Angela for all their help.

Highly recommended. I've used ELP since 2007 and they are great people, genuinely focused on helping people find the best solution for them. Barbara Watson for wills, trusts and power of attorney. Laura McFadzean for property buying and selling.

They were quick and responsive. We made a number of unsuccessful offers, however they didn't charge any. They were explicit and no hidden charges. Laura McFadzean was our primary Solicitor, We've also worked with Brittany Campion. Our offer was accepted with a condition to close the deal in 29 calendar days. They worked very swiftly in every part of transaction. We are the 1st time buyers, we were not completely aware of process. We closed the deal on time. Overall we had wonderful experience in working with them. I would strongly recommend ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan Solicitors For my friends and family

Catherine and her team were brilliant when we were buying our first home recently. The whole process felt seamless and Catherine was always helpful and informative and kept us in the loop at all times. Honestly, thank you so much, for making what was a huge step for us feel easy.
