We instructed Top Tier Property Law for the purchase of our first home in Edinburgh, and the experience could not have been smoother. Our solicitor explained every stage of the missives process in plain language, responded to emails the same day, and even flagged a potential issue with the title that the seller's side had overlooked. We completed on time and within the quoted fee. Highly recommended for anyone navigating Scots property law for the first time.
What our clients say
We are proud that the majority of our new clients come through personal recommendations. Here is a selection of recent feedback.
I manage a portfolio of rental properties in Glasgow and have used several solicitors over the years. Top Tier Property Law stands out for their commercial awareness and efficiency. They drafted bespoke lease agreements for my HMO properties, advised on regulatory compliance and handled two simultaneous acquisitions without a single missed deadline. Their fixed-fee structure is genuinely transparent — no surprise invoices at the end.
After a neighbour erected a fence that encroached onto our garden, we needed specialist advice on boundary disputes. The team at Top Tier Property Law reviewed the title plans, obtained historical ordnance survey data and negotiated a resolution without the need for court proceedings. The whole matter was settled in under six weeks, saving us considerable stress and expense. Their knowledge of land registration law is exceptional.
I sold a commercial unit in Dundee through Top Tier Property Law and was impressed by how proactive they were in chasing the buyer's solicitor to keep things moving. The only reason I have not given five stars is that the initial response to my enquiry took two days rather than one, but once we were underway the service was exemplary. Clear communication, fair pricing and a thorough understanding of commercial property transactions.
We used Top Tier Property Law for our remortgage and were delighted with the speed and professionalism. The process was completed in just three weeks, and our solicitor kept us updated at every step. The online portal was particularly useful — we could upload documents and track progress without having to phone. We will definitely use them again for our next property purchase.
As an estate agent, I refer clients to Top Tier Property Law regularly because I know they will receive outstanding service. The solicitors are approachable, responsive and extremely thorough. They have never let one of my clients down, and the feedback I receive is consistently positive. Their understanding of the Scottish property market and the legal intricacies of conveyancing is second to none.
Case studies
A closer look at how we have helped clients overcome real property law challenges.
Resolving a complex title defect in the Highlands
When a young couple found their dream cottage near Inverness, a routine title examination revealed that a strip of land forming part of the driveway had never been formally conveyed. The seller was unaware of the defect, and the lender refused to release mortgage funds until it was resolved. Our team traced the missing conveyance back to a 1970s transaction, obtained a voluntary transfer from the current owner of the strip, and arranged indemnity insurance as a belt-and-braces measure. The purchase completed within seven weeks, and the clients moved in on schedule. This case illustrates the importance of thorough title examination — and the value of having a solicitor who knows how to solve problems rather than simply identify them.
Negotiating favourable lease terms for a growing tech firm
A technology start-up in Glasgow needed to secure a five-year lease on a 3,000 square-foot office space but was concerned about being locked into unfavourable terms if the business scaled faster than expected. We negotiated a break clause at the end of year three, a rent-free fit-out period of four months, and a cap on service charge increases linked to inflation. The landlord initially resisted several of these provisions, but our solicitors presented a well-reasoned case supported by comparable market data. The client signed a lease that gave them the flexibility to grow while protecting their downside risk — a result that has since been cited by their investors as evidence of sound operational planning.
