Simpson & Marwick provide an exceptionally high standard of service, from initial consultation, to photography and marketing materials and support throughout the viewing and offer stage to completion. Their people are all friendly and very approachable and knowledgeable, in particular I would note Simon Donaldson and Karen Fleming as well as the legal team who finally concluded the contract for sale. Thank you all. Highly recommended!

Simpson & Marwick (Karen Fleming and Jill Andrew) were extremely helpful in guiding me the process of selling my flat throughout explaining each stage carefully. I very much appreciate their work in achieving a sale I was entirely happy with. I would recommend Simpson and Marwick without hesitation.

Excellent firm. Looked after all aspects of the sale of my flat, kept me informed throughout, and ended up getting the price we were looking for. Reasonable fees for the level of service provided, and would happily use again.

Excellent service on the sale of our Edinburgh flat from start to finish, I'd say that you'd be hard pressed to find a more professional team. We achieved a result in excess of expectation in a less than ideal market. A special thanks to Joanna R who dealt with all issues and enquiries promptly and with a great attitude. Look no further!

We had a first class experience working with Simpson & Marwick to sell our family home in Edinburgh. From Simon's knowledge of the market and guidance on marketing, to Karen's support through viewings and offer negotiation, then Bobby's conveyancing management we were extremely well looked after. No query or request was too much hassle - highly recommend.
