We engaged Purdie & Co for the first time during our property purchase in Edinburgh, and their support has been exceptional from the outset. They guided us through every detail, ensuring we were well-informed at each stage. The responsiveness to our emails was swift, with immediate and comprehensive answers to all our queries. The entire process unfolded seamlessly, and based on our experience, we would wholeheartedly recommend and choose Purdie & Co again without any reservations. Our gratitude extends to Gosia (solicitor), Nicky, and Deborah, who have proven to be invaluable assets to the company. Thank you all for your outstanding service. I & H Paterson

Purdie & Co have handled property sales and purchases for us many times over the last 21 years. We have always found that they provide an excellent service at what we think is a very reasonable price. We've just completed a sale this month and were impressed again by the attention to detail, quality of advice given unique to our property, friendliness, and the very quick response time to queries throughout the process. We feel we are always offered a very personal, valued service by all the staff at Purdie & Co, which would perhaps not be possible from a larger organisation.

Was using their services for property purchase and I think they have done a good job during a busy period. I did not have any delays and was able to finalise everything and move in on the agreed date. Fees are similar to the rest of the market. They were clear on the documents I need to submit and once that was done it was all smooth sale from there.
Just keep in mind that you need to be proactive too and get your insurance quotes in advance so that you can submit the application once they ask you to provide relevant reference for the insurer so the sale can proceed. Good work overall

Purdies provide a personalised and friendly service. On the legal side whenever we had particular questions solicitor partner Struan was quick to respond and answer. He provided sound and experienced professional steerage around various pitfalls in the flat-buying process. At a time when much conveyancing is done by non-lawyers with limited legal knowledge being able to engage with tricky legal matters was particularly valuable.
On the estate agency side Nicky Douglas took care to find out telling details about our house to allow it to be marketed to best advantage. This combined with her experience and knowledge of the practice and psychology of selling allowed us to proceed soundly at every stage allaying any concerns we felt over what to do next. She too was quick to respond to any questions. It felt like the only house she was selling was ours!

We used Purdie & Co for the first time when buying a property in Edinburgh. They have been incredibly helpful from start to finish, explaining everything in detail and keeping us informed every step of the way. Response times to emails was rapid and all queries answered immediately. The process has been smooth and we would both recommend and use Purdie & Co again without hesitation. Gosia (solicitor), Nicky & Deborah are a great asset to the company from our experience. Thank you all. I & H Paterson

All round "Excellent"! Why? Struan and the team anticipate issues, and advise on options to resolve. The whole team communicate in a succinct manner; they value your time as much as their own. And, for the "lay person" they display consistent patience in explaining the "legalese". All that at very competitive rates = Excellent.

We recently used Purdies to sell two properties and purchase one and we couldn't have been more impressed. The team are not only lovely but do their jobs really well - they went above and beyond to ensure we got the best price for both our properties and really supported us when an unexpected issue threatened to derail one of the sales. Thanks in no small part to their help, all was well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for personal, friendly and effective legal advice.

From my initial meeting with Nicki (Senior Property Manager) I was advised on the approach I should take to maximise the sale of my property in Edinburgh, this was a massive help as I was not living in Edinburgh. The support and advise continued through to the completion of the sale. I would recommend the guys at Purdie for: First class service from really nice people.

I have used Purdie & Co for 3 house purchases now & 2 sales and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Nicki & the property team give great advice on selling & keeping you up to date on everything. Kirsten was also very helpful as our solicitor & took time to explain the process to my partner who was a first time buyer. The team really go the extra mile to making the process as stress free as possible!

Have been using Purdie & co since 2005, and always been very happy about the service received! Very professional staff and easy to get in touch with at any point. I would definitely (and have already done so, over the years!) recommend them to prospective buyers and sellers of a property in Edinburgh.

A massive THANK YOU to the whole team at Purdie & Co for helping my sister and me to buy our first home in Edinburgh. It was a long journey, however that team of professionals, have been always by our side, looking and advising us about the best options, best decisions and looking after us in every step of the purchase. Special "Thank you" to Struan Douglas and Kirsten Olverman for speaking to us on a daily base, even after working hours in order to provide us with the best advice.
If you are currently looking for a team of Solicitors, who will represent you in the most professional way, will be by your side and support you, we couldn't recommend highly enough Purdie & Co!

We have used Purdie & Co on more than one occasion to both buy and sell property. Both times we were very impressed with the service we received. Most recently the property department pulled out all the stops to get our flat on the market in a very short time. They were informative, thorough and responsive throughout the selling process. They also offered sensible, plain English legal advice during the buying process - remaining available and approachable throughout. Well done Purdie & Co for making a very stressful time much more manageable. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Purdie & Co were recommended to me by Savills as I needed help selling my current flat and buying a new one. And I needed this all done within a specific timeframe. Nicki the Property Manager was just brilliant. I had my flat on the market within a week and sold after 3. Never once did I ever have to chase up as Nicki was taking care of everything. Michael the solicitor was extremely friendly and patient with my many questions and would always call or email back. Overall an extremely professional, efficient and friendly service.

I am a retired architect who has had experience with many solicitors over previous decades. Acting as executor for a late relative's estate (no solicitor was named as an executor) I required to take advice to ensure I was acting lawfully and I asked Purdies Solicitors (Mr Anderson - partner) to advise me on correct procedures; also that he obtain 'Confirmation' (known as probate in England) from the appropriate court to allow me to move forward on dischanging my responsibilities.
On completion I had not a single complaint or reservation and all matters considered I was extremely pleased with the service I received (and even comfortable with the fee levied). Based on my personal experience I would strongly suggest that anyone needing help in framing a will or with discharging their duties as an executor for an estate would do well to consider Purdies.
