Report
I was recommended to use T Duncan for my recent house purchase. Eric Whyte provided an excellent service. Moving from England he guided me through the Scottish process and kept me informed every step of the way. At what is a stressful time I was assured everything was in order. Very good value on fees as well. I would recommend them for any legal needs.

Report
As a seller they were a nightmare to work with, sat on money despite pre-payment, oblivious to any reasonable request had us moving at 5.30 pm due to late release of funds. Cheap but you get what you pay for, expect nasty.
