Residential Property Team of the Year 2020

“Second time buying a property with Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Edinburgh, and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. We used Neilsons for our entire transaction – buying our new home, and selling our flat. Every step of the process was handled smoothly and professionally from start to finish. Considering we had to deal with a lockdown and the festive break during the sale, we couldn’t ask for any more. No phone call or email went unanswered, no matter what time of day it was. Steve, Ginny, Megan & all the rest of the team – thank you so much. Absolutely fantastic!”

Graham Parsons (2021)

“All the members of staff were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Edinburgh made the process of buying the house easy for us to understand, as a first time buyer I couldn’t recommend them enough! From the beginning, they were open about the costs for their services which we appreciated and provided an excellent and professional service at all times.”

Weronica Jasinska (2020)

“I was initially sceptical of using Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Edinburgh to support us with our purchase as they were an estate agent as well and I somehow thought that would make the service more corporate/less personal. How wrong I was! Our solicitor Anthea Chan was a star start to finish, always responsive and human. This was our second attempt at instructing an Edinburgh solicitor – while with the first we felt spoken down to and patronised, with Neilsons we always felt listened to. Excellent value and highly recommended.”

Megan Veronesi (2020)

“Excellent service from start to finish in selling our property. Their recommended approach to ensuring a successful sale was clearly laid out at the beginning and progress was communicated both verbally & electronically on a regular basis. Staff were very professional & accommodating, even during these unprecedented pandemic times.” 

Phil Matthews (2020)

“Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Edinburgh have been amazing from start to finish. When we decided to sell our flat and purchase a new house we appointed Neilsons to deal with the legal side of things and I couldn’t be happier with our decision. Our lawyer Aidan has been amazing keeping us informed and helping us with the things that we were unsure on. His advice and reassurance has been invaluable. Nothing was any trouble to the team and every query we had was answered quickly and clearly. They truly went above and beyond even when we had some last minute problems with our buyers lawyers Aidan and the team worked tirelessly to make sure we got into our new home. I honestly can not praise these guys enough they truly care about their clients and this shines through in every aspect of what they do! Everything is done with your wellbeing and security as their main priority!”

Tony Cox (2020)

“We were recommended Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Bonnyrigg by our financial advisor and we were not disappointed. Diane guided us through our property conveyancing as we did a part exchange in order to buy a new build house. The builders strongly recommended their ‘partner’ solicitor but we wanted someone independent to work on our behalf. Throughout the process she was able to answer any questions promptly and we always felt reassured at a stressful time. Due to Covid-19 we never actually met Diane and Gill, but thank them deeply for their efforts. Neilsons come highly recommended.”

Gary Fraser (2020)

“Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Edinburgh definitely went the extra mile when selling our old house and buying our new one. We were helped and guided every step along the way. Our queries were answered quickly and efficiently despite the difficulties of having to deal with the restrictions and lockdown due to Covid-19. We would not hesitate to recommend Neilsons for all aspects of property conveyancing.”

Anne Grant (2020)

“Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Bonnyrigg is where professionalism meets prompt and personable service. Diane and the team are doing a fantastic job and recently helped us with a very time pressured purchase. Completing all conveyancing from start to finish within 2 weeks was nigh impossible but they managed to pull it off! Been with Neilsons since 2011 when we bought our very first home and we moved with Diane when the new Bonnyrigg office was opened. Service delivery has been consistently excellent and it’s little wonder the rapid growth of the last twelve months. The firm comes very highly recommended.”

Niyi Oludipe (2021)

“I recently instructed Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Edinburgh to act for me while purchasing a flat. I came to them after becoming frustrated with a different firm. It was a particularly tricky situation as I instructed them to make an offer just before the country went into lockdown so surveyors couldn’t carry out valuations. The first solicitor I dealt with was furloughed and my case was handed to a different solicitor. Despite all these difficulties, both solicitors I dealt with at Neilsons were professional, warm, customer-focused and very calm and pragmatic. They helped me think through my decisions and carried out my instructions in a very timely manner. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received and would recommend them and use them again myself. I would particularly like to thank Anthea and Aidan, my solicitors for all their help and support.”

Geekerela (2020)

“As a first time buyer I was very overwhelmed and nervous about taking the leap, but I am so glad I did it with Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Edinburgh. Both Anthea and Kara have supported me throughout the process, and have explained everything I needed to know in great detail. Nothing has ever been too much to ask, and I have had many many questions! The service has been very professional and I can’t thank everyone enough for their help. I would highly recommend Neilsons to anyone looking to buy their first home.”

Ayla Gardiner (2021)

“I recently sold my apartment with Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Edinburgh. Everything from the initial valuation to conclusion of the sale was excellent. They were very honest and confident in their advice and knowledge of the housing market. I have to give special thanks to Kara our lawyer from Neilsons who went over and above her responsibilities to help our sale go through quickly and efficiently. Even through all the constant lockdown restrictions that were put in place, Neilsons were able to operate as normal. Highly recommend consulting with them when selling your property.”

Chris Trolio (2021)

“Would highly recommend Neilson’s Solicitors and Estate Agents in Edinburgh. Myself and my partner were first time buyers who managed to buy a property during lockdown. This was not an easy time and at times stressful but Claire and the team made life so much easier and was always on hand to offer there help and support. They really do have their customer interest at the heart of everything they do and make you feel at ease that they have everything at hand. If the current pandemic wasn’t enough stress on buying a house I actually went into labour a few days ahead of moving in to my new house. Claire and the team were fantastic at adapting and helping making sure everything was in place for us moving in to our new house while I was able to have a few days with my newborn baby. The team have been so kind with their well wishes for the family and asking how we are getting on really adding the personal touch, they care about the people behind the transaction. I will 100% be recommending them to all my friend and family and will continue to use them in the future. I can’t thank the team enough and I am so grateful I am now a house owner thanks too all their help and support especially Claire she really has been amazing throughout.”

Laura Burns (2021)

“My immediate family and I have used Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Edinburgh 3 times in the past 2 years and they have impressed us every time! Expert guidance at every stage , and extremely responsive to correspondence throughout the process. Kara @picardy has been particularly amazing at handling all of our conveyancing. Highly recommend Neilsons to take care of any property sale or purchase.”

Christine Lyons (2021)

“Thank you to all the team for your help in getting our flat sold! From starting the process by getting home report & photos done (whilst we were abroad) then getting it advertised through Jade who was brilliant & really helpful!
Then the sales process was through Kirsten who was also great to work with – good honest opinion throughout the process & clearly outlining the process during our calls which really helped as this was our first sale of a property.
I’d highly recommend using Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents.”

Duncan Anderson (2021)

“We recently sold our house with Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Edinburgh within 8 days. Initially we were hesitant to go ahead given the whispers about further lockdowns and restrictions but Neilsons were great throughout the process. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and, should we need to, we’d be happy to deal with them again in the future.”

Murray MacArthur (2021)

“What can I say about Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents? I used them 20 years ago and had a flawless first house purchase. So good I’ve used Neilsons again and house was sold within 21 days. Despite Covid restrictions I found the whole experience professional and felt I was in on the whole process at all times. Thanks to the Property team for all their updates especially Kirsten 👏👏👏”

Craig Paterson (2021)

“Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents in Midlothian have literally bent over backwards to make sure we got into our new home I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. From start to finish they were so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful going above and beyond for us. I cant thank Diane, Kara, Rab, Linda and Gillian enough for helping us they have literally made our dreams come true with our new home thank you!” 

Carly Millan Page (2020)

“We have used Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents a number of times over many years to handle the sale and purchase of property. They are very good at what they do: * Knowledgeable about the market * Very efficient * Professional * Reasonably priced We would definitely recommend them.”
