We have used Neilsons for nearly 40 years with all our house moves, wills and POA. This last 12 months we dealt with the Bonnyrigg branch as we had a couple of family bereavements and required assistance with house sales and Certificates of Confirmation , to wind up estates. Ramune Gilfillan was exceptional in her professionalism, as well as being empathetic and totally approachable. All members the team were patient, kind and informative and we would highly recommend Neilsons for their services. What could have been a stressful experience was executed very smoothly, and We thank them for this!

I want to say a massive thank you to Kara, Peter and Sarah on the conveyancing team at Neilsons helped me to buy 4 properties without any stress, from getting the initial offers in to assisting with all the paperwork and being so responsive to questions I wasn’t sure about. Would highly recommend. Thanks again.

Sublime. The team at Picardy Place were nothing short of exceptional. As a first time buyer I was coached through the process and was offered excellent advice from Fiona and the team. Any updates or issues with paperwork were flagged within 24hrs which enabled a sale within 6 weeks of an offer being accepted. The team at Picardy Place were also able to accommodate my work commitments and complete a day earlier than agreed.

Thank you Neilsons for all of your effort in the sale of Dad's old house and the purchase of his new one. The process faultless and without issue, and we got the price we wanted for both properties. Thanks also to Kara for your discretion and expedience in helping Dad arrange his Power of Attorney. The visit to Dad while in hospital was above what we had expected. Thanks again.

Lorna and the team at Neilson’s Picardy place were absolutely outstanding. They kept us well informed along the way, and any question we had was never too much trouble. However, we are still astounded that Lorna went above and beyond the call of duty, working until almost midnight to ensure that we avoided the snap increase in additional dwelling support, which saved us over £8000. We would absolutely recommend Neilson’s to anybody seeking exceptional service!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that Lorna and the team at our Picardy Place office provided you with exceptional service.

I found all the Neilsons staff I dealt with to be knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I was kept informed of progress on both the sale of my property and purchase of the next one all the way along the process and it was easy to get hold of someone when I needed to. They got my property on the market extremely quickly and then sold it in 14 days. I felt their valuation was realistic and fair and am happy with the price achieved.

Fantastic service, Alana Mason was my sales negotiator. From start to finish, she made me feel comfortable and kept me fully up to speed throughout the whole process. Their professionalism, clear communication, and supportive approach made everything way less stressful. I couldn’t have asked for better service. Even after the sale had gone through she was there to support me on next steps to proceed with my purchase and sale. Nelson’s have been great to work with and I would use them again, you aren’t left waiting to hear from them the communication has been great.

The team have been so efficient, calming, and full of wise words during the very stressful ( to me) experience of buying and selling. I have been regularly kept up to date with the whole process, their online information was in particular a godsend, being kept updated on viewings etc.. I couldn’t recommend them more to anyone about to enter the property market.

Highly recommend the team at Neilsons. Kevin was excellent during the initial valuation, providing clear guidance and comparable sales of similar flats on the street. The photographs were outstanding. I’d honestly recommend Neilsons on the strength of the photography alone and pre-photography advice. Eve from the viewings team and Rhonda from the negotiations team were both incredibly attentive, keeping me up to date with scheduled viewings, general updates, and helpful advice throughout the process. This was my first time using Neilsons, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Using Neilsons as property solicitors for my flat purchase was the worst professional experience I’ve ever had. My solicitor went on holiday for nearly three weeks with no prior notice, I only discovered this after chasing for an update and receiving an out-of-office reply. Even after CC’ing others at Neilsons, I was ignored or given vague, unhelpful responses until she returned. When she did, the poor communication continued. I often had to research parts of the buying process myself, then forward that information back to Neilsons. Key steps, like preparing my deposit, only happened because I chased them with multiple emails. Responses were slow, usually at the end of the day, or days later, and often only after follow-ups. Friends later told me Neilsons already had this reputation, but I didn’t see many reviews reflecting it. I don’t normally write reviews or complain, but when you’re spending such a large amount of money, you expect professionalism and basic communication. Neilsons delivered neither. I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.
