Positive:Responsiveness
We used Liddle & Anderson for conveyancing and found them to be efficient, friendly, supportive and above all responsive to changing circumstances. They really pulled out all the stops to make sure our sale could go ahead - and all during lockdown too. Highly recommended.

Liddle and Anderson have dealt with my recent separation and subsequent house conveyancing, they have been excellent throughout the process showing care and attention to detail that really matters in this sort of situation. Whenever I needed an answer they responded quickly and efficiently, always called back promptly if they were not available at the time. It was not an easy period for me to go through, but Liddle and Anderson made what could have been a very difficult process much easier than it could have been. Thoroughly recommended.

We have just used Middle & Anderson to buy a flat. They were extremely professional, & exceptionally helpful throughout what is a stressful time.

[ Note: this is long and intention, as I offer personal and business ]
Willie MacRae (owner of the firm) is really an excellent lawyer, and someone I value as a personal friend. College buddy loyalty only goes so far, and I've had to turn down friends for jobs and it's hard. With finite services with measurable results it's easy to judge. I know of no-one in our extended circle who has NOT used Liddle and Anderson.
Mum wanted to do some shuffling so I would end up owning their house while still alive, as I am an only child, not a simple conveyancing, rather one with complex terms. Even tying

Liddle & Anderson recently handled the sale of my mother's house. We couldn't have asked for a more professional and considerate service from this firm and their staff. I would definitely recommend them.

This is the worst solicitor I've ever used
Never answer there email and never call you back. They make a plan and never share it with you with any case!!
I.e. Family disputes or divorce. Never give you information about over solitaires. They told me important documents ended up in there junk or spam email folder. I couldn't believe how unprofessional they were all about money. I think!! All I can say is run a mile!!!
