TrustpilotUncommunicative, difficult to get hold of, slow. Will not use again
Feb 2024.Along the lines of similar reviews. Poor communication. General feeling they’re not actually doing anything to earn the money. Unable to easily contact the person who is dealing with our transactions. Mother’s estate, the easiest to wrap up still waiting after many months. Solictors letter to a company who had incorrect information on us, cost an arm and a leg. I have used Shield and Kyd since 1993 before they merged into Lindsay’s and they were great. Once our current transaction is completed, We will not be using Lindsays for anything.Update. August 2024. Still waiting for completion of mothers estate. This has been nearly a year. Problems…. ineptitude, people forgetting to do things and process paperwork, maternity leave. Handovers not completed properly. Holidays. Lost track of who is now dealing with this transaction. An absolute nightmare.

We were buying and selling a house with Lindsay, and I must state that choosing Lindsay was a big mistake.

TrustpilotExcellent communication and patience
I would recommend Lindsay’s after they dealt with the selling of our house. Communication was excellent and everything was clearly explained to us. Our case was a little complicated but nothing was too much trouble and Emma’s patience is to be commended. Would definitely use again.

GoogleI find Lauren McGhie to be friendly and helpful. I, and my husband, have employed Lauren to arrange our wills. Prior to that, I dealt with Lauren when I was Executor for my Dad's will and was very pleased with Lauren's assistance.

GoogleShocking experience, was quoted £1000 to £1500 for a simple divorce and after only 2 weeks the lawyer passed it to her intern as if she couldn't be bothered with us, I paid the £1500 plus another £100 and to my horror I received another invoice for over £2700 once my divorce was through after being quoted £1500 for my full divorce process minus a couple hundred pounds here or there if additional paperwork was needed, these charges are obscene, stay away from this company as bills appear and are fabricated from nowhere, I'm now having to goto court to fight this, but no matter what happens I will not pay it I wil go bankrupt before I do, I have nothing to loose

TrustpilotAbsolutely horrendous experience with…
Absolutely horrendous experience with this lot if I could give no stars I would, was quoted between £1000 and £1500 for a simple divorce got the impression the first lawyer (Alison mckee) couldn't be arsed I paid the £1500 that I was quoted and she switched it to her graduate (Claire brown) then at the end of it I was hit with another invoice for £2736 so they basically want me to pay for the same thing twice, they are con artists and like the other reviews on here seems to be a pattern they invent bills out of nowhere, the lawyer couldn't be bothered passed it to a intern and cracked up my bill while she overlooked my case from time to time, absolutely shocking company, I refuse to pay and I'm now having to goto court over this

GoogleRead papers from the SLCC shared online regarding a complaint against Lauren McGhie - one of their private client team. The solicitor made a number of mistakes in the Confirmation. The solicitor didn't even check if the name on the title deeds matched those of the deceased. This delayed the sale of the property by a number of weeks. Worse still, the solicitor didn't even inform the clients of her mistakes. Instead, she went off on holiday and left it to the conveyancing firm to inform the client. Nor did they bother to order a copy of the correct deeds before going on holiday. Lacking honesty, lacking integrity, and lacking any of the competencies necessary to do the job. Definitely one to avoid. A disgrace to the legal profession

GoogleI used Lindsay’s solicitors for help when I was in car crash that was not my fault. I worked mainly with Pauline who was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. So empathetic and really fighting my corner every step of the way. They made this process so painless and easy for me. They catered to any of my needs or adjustments I had and were amazing at breaking down the legal jargon. I hope I am never in the same position again but if I am I’ll be using them

TrustpilotUnfair dismissal
Used Lindsays for an employment dispute. Ben Doherty was knowledgeable, professional and very helpful. Always quick to respond to any questions and very approachable. I can highly recommend Ben Doherty/Lindsay’s.

TrustpilotAppalled by this agent's incompetence
Appalled by this agent's incompetence. Despite their promises, my flat remained unsold. I navigated through five different contacts, endured minimal effort resulting in just one viewing. Shockingly, they demanded payment. Avoid this agent.

GoogleNot a good company losing important paperwork to start the ball rolling. After making complaints blame for the companies fault was put on me. Refused to fix matters disallowed me to speak to clients relations manager then I was expecting the chairman of the company to contact to resolve it very much a defensive no blame on the company culture at lindsays a terrible company who have no moral compass or any care at all just money from other people's misery that illuminates them other companies out there doing it better. Money grabbing firm that has its ivory towers at customers expense.

If you like fees that come up out of nowhere even when you previously asked them to list all fees involved these are the guys for you. £336 for literally nothing.
