What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Communication emerges as the most divisive theme in feedback about this Aberdeen law firm. Clients pursuing estate administration, property sales and planning matters describe a professional and reassuring service, with several praising the ease of transactions and the sense that complex processes were handled without fuss. A recurring point is the expertise and advice offered by named staff, particularly David Scott, whose planning law knowledge was credited with resolving a stressful dispute, while the estate agency and wealth management teams were thanked for guiding buyers and sellers through purchases, sales and mortgages.

Reviews time and again mention prompt updates and friendly, welcoming reception staff. Balanced against this, others recount difficulties in obtaining responses by telephone or email over extended periods and describe frustration when chasing progress on executry work or property viewings. Some report feeling kept in the dark about the status of their case and say they had to pursue the firm for information. Where specialist knowledge and client care are delivered, they are clearly valued; consistency of contact has been the recurring source of dissatisfaction.

I wish I could give zero starts. Extremely disappointing experience. Had a viewing for one of the properties at Aberdeen and arrived 10 minutes late to find the agent left. When called the office, the lady on the phone said she will check if they can come back but left us on the street without calling back and I had to call her back only to find out that no one will come show us the property. The agent didn't even call me like all other agencies to check if I was late. The viewing is supposed to be for 20 minutes so, the agent leaving after 10 minutes is completely unacceptable. Won't be viewing any properties advertised by Ledingham again.

This company held up the paperwork in relation to my father's estate after his death to drive up their fees. They employed bad communication deliberately to ensure they could charge more. They exploited the worst time of our lives to line their own pockets. They took nearly 2 years for a simple settlement which only added to the emotional burden. Cannot express in words how upsetting this has been for our family. Do yourself a favour and find someone else to handle your buisness. Highly do not recommend.

David Scott of Ledingham Chalmers was absolutely great in dealing with a very difficult situation with our planning in Culter and sorted things out with his tremendous knowledge on planning Law as stated very stressful time so don’t take local authorities stance and walk away get an expert like David thanks again L&Ch

It's unfortunate that despite being my leasing agents for 15 years and having charged thousands of pounds of agent fees, I recently received a terrible service as soon as I chose another company to sell my house over the last 2 months. Living abroad, it was a nightmare to get a response to my mails or even phone calls. There is no accountability from leasing consultants all the way up to the manager. When I did get through on the phone after days of chasing, I was confronted with rude staff. My house is already sold but the leasing team is holding onto the deposit of the previous tenant. I've sent multiple emails to settle the deposit after necessary Deductions but there is no response from the manager or the team. It's obvious that there is little interest from partners to make any improvements in working on the deteriorating quality. I won't recommend Leddingham Chalmers for leasing or selling property.

I dealt with a number of the LC team over a period of about 12 months. They took care of my affairs covering bereavement, settling of estates and home sale. Fantastic service, very prompt with minimal fuss, which was exactly what was required during a hugely stressful time. Will 100% be using them again in the future.

Awful service, very unprofessional, you gotta chase them to do their job,since they can't be bothered even to keep you up to date on your case, nae communicating with customer, nor picking up the phone. Can't even bypass lass at the reception. If you chosen them, then you have to be a psychic, since they'll keep you in the dark.
