We used Andersonbain for a sale and purchase. Both Liz and Faye provided continual support throughout the process and were influential in getting the purchase over the line and went beyond their duty to ensure the deal went through on the requested date. Fantastic customer service. Would highly recommend to anyone.

We purchased our first property last week with andersonbain being our solicitors of choice and they were very professional throughout the whole process of securing our lovely new home. Stuart and Katie and there Paralegal team were always on hand to help with any enquirys we had throughout the process. I strongly suggest using andersonbain if your looking to buy or sell house I highly recommend.

I highly recommend Stuart Bain of AndersonBain and his support team. They have undertaken conveyancing for the sale of our last two properties and represented us in the purchase of our current one, and were excellent throughout. Proactive, communicative, calm, efficient - all that I could ask for.

BEWARE! I dealt with Iain Wilson for purchasing my property. Due to covid this was only over the phone and then email communication as I was overseas. The communication was poor and I had to keep chasing him up to find out what was happening and I felt like I was a burden to him during an important stage in my life. I felt he was only interested in the sale with as little work as possible. Post sale, I have now recieved an enforcement notice on the property which will likely cost thousands and after trying to contact him by email and phone several times about it I have been completely ignored.
His PA answered my calls and promised a call back but nothing. I have used AndersonBain before for the purchase of a property with no issues and also heard good things about other solicitors there, hence why I went back to use them again. I will not use them again in future.
