What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

James & George Collie draws consistent praise for residential property work, with reviewers describing purchases, sales and auction transactions handled efficiently from instruction to completion. Conveyancing is the recurring theme, and several customers highlight how clearly missives and paperwork were explained, including to those buying in Scotland for the first time.

Named staff feature prominently: Brian Sutton is credited with deep property market knowledge and with certifying documents quickly for a professional registration, while Mark, Struan and Moira are described as professional and prompt, replying to emails within minutes and keeping clients updated even late in the evening. Naomi receives warm mention for patience and care during a lengthy house purchase. A detail many reviews return to is the fairness of the quoted fees, with one client noting the pricing compared well with other quotes received.

Estate agency work also features, including the sensitive sale of a deceased relative's property, where the property shop team was praised for being approachable and offering practical suggestions at each stage. Communication before and after completion, speed of response and a calm manner with repetitive questions are the qualities clients return to, alongside efficient handling of complex cross-border transactions involving English solicitors, finance providers and brokers, and negotiated time extensions.

I had a really positive experience with Patrick throughout the purchase of my new home. He was always very responsive, patient and reassuring, particularly when I had questions or was worrying about something during the process. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble and he kept me updated throughout, explaining things clearly and making what can be a pretty stressful process feel much more manageable. I really appreciated his approachable manner and how quickly he would come back to me whenever I got in touch. I’d happily recommend Patrick to anyone looking for someone reliable, helpful and easy to deal with when buying a property.

Fantastic service. Our property purchase was via auction and we needed to move at speed. We were also dealing with English solicitors and finance providers and brokers. It was not an easy job, but Patrick at J &G Collie did a brilliant job. Incredibly efficient with the paperwork, very quick to respond to communication and negotiated time extensions on our behalf. They are now handling my eldest daughter's property purchase. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I consider their service to represent excellent value for money. All my future Scottish legal work will go to them based on this experience.

We have worked with Brian Sutton for our portfolio conveyance requirements over last several years as well as Cathleen Collins for sales support. Brian is exceptionally supportive and responsive while understanding our business requirements and structuring solutions to help us complete deals in a very timely and professional manner. Highly recommend them.

We have been working with Brian and JG Collie for over 4 years now for our property transactions in Aberdeen. We have had an excellent experience with them and their professionalism is second to none. Brian brings deep experience of the property market to the table. I would highly recommend the firm for all your property conveyancing and consulting needs.
