Outstanding service from the Neilsons team especially Kirsten and Claire. Ever so helpful and a very friendly manner. I would encourage anyone to use Neilsons for their house purchase or sale. It is so incredibly useful to use a company to carry out the entire sale/purchase process from start to finish. A one stop shop!!!

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.

Glad I chose to go with Neilsons to sell my flat. First time seller and was lucky to be assigned Kirsten Olverman with her wealth of experience and advice. It has taken a while to sell but with the interest rates, cost of living crisis, Kirsten was in contact often and guided me through to the sale. Would highly recommend Neilsons and Kirsten!

What started off well with the sales…

What started off well with the sales team putting property on the market swiftly and great communication with Siobhan, quickly turned into absolutely appalling service from Anne. No replies to several emails, no documentation and indeed still waiting for some items, incorrect fees asked for on a Saturday night expecting an extra £10k to complete immediately, when I fact that’s what they were due me. Sale didn’t complete on time despite having months notice. Still being asked for proof of amends to kitchen the day of completion despite being provided three months earlier. To top it off a formal complaint has gone in which hasn’t been acknowledged. Tomorrow we go to the independent bureau to lodge a formal complaint with them. Would never ever use again. Maybe a different solicitor but not this particular one

Used Neilsons to wind up my dad's estate. They took £24,000 and closed the account without finishing all aspects and left me with the most difficult part ( overseas land) to deal with myself. Would never use them again or recommend them to anyone. Terrible treatment for a grieving family. Lazy staff.

Exemplary support and guidance…

Exemplary support and guidance from Neilsons with selling my property. Their professionalism, expertise, patience, helpfulness exceeded my expectations. I am ever so grateful to the team. To name a few, Jamie Robertson, Siobhan and especially Stephanie Morice who has been amazing in helping with the conveyancing process. Full credit goes to her to make my experience so smooth and well informed. Thank you.

Highly recommend Neilsons. The service I received from Kirsten was faultless, and she was a pleasure to deal with. She was in constant contact with me, and provided me with valuable and sensible advice along the way. A "no nonsense" estate agent who gets the job done.

Excellent Service & Attention to detail

I have used Neilsons twice, first to purchase a flat and later to sell it, and both experiences were handled with a high level of professionalism. The team were efficient, well organised, and maintained clear communication throughout each stage of the process. Their attention to detail was evident, ensuring everything was completed accurately and on time. I felt well informed at every step, and any queries I had were dealt with promptly and thoroughly. Kirsten, in particular, was excellent, very attentive in resolving my questions and always reassuring, which made the process much easier. Overall, Neilsons provided a reliable and smooth service for both transactions. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a professional estate agency.

The most outstanding service

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience selling our first home with Neilsons from Lewis and Kirsten. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Lewis Hunter, our valuer, was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. He explained the process clearly, provided a detailed and accurate valuation, and gave us real confidence in the decisions we were making which meant so much as first-time sellers. His friendly manner made everything stress-free, and the brochures he prepared showcased our home beautifully. We were equally impressed with our sales negotiator, Kirsten. She guided us through every stage with clarity, confidence, and such a personal touch. At times she felt more like a friend than a negotiator always at the end of the phone, no matter how small the query, and consistently making us feel like we were her only clients. Knowing we had Kirsten on our side made the whole experience so much easier and even enjoyable! A special thanks also to Maureen in the Property Booking Team, who managed our viewings seamlessly around our full-time jobs. The Neilsons client portal was brilliant too, keeping everything from home reports to viewings clear and easy to track. Overall, we couldn’t be more grateful to the team at Neilsons. Professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. Highly recommended to anyone selling their home!

Excellent Estate Agents

Neilsons have been absolutley superb dealing wtih the sale of my property. The advice on staging for sale was excellent, and they even recommended trades to get some jobs done. Their photos and marketing materials are superb, much better than some of their competitors who we had considered using. Everyone we've dealt with has been so friendly and helpful and we got an amazing price at the closing date after just 11 days on the market. They are efficent, professional and a pleasure to deal with. Would 100% recommend and certainly will use them again in the future.

Smooth & Professional Purchase and Sale journey experience

I recently sold and purchased a property having experience of selling and buying previously with other estate agents. I can honestly say Diane and her team based at the Bonnyrigg branch truly do provide a great integrated legal and estate agency service. From my first initial contact with Neilsons by telephone that led to a home visit, planography, survey, viewings and transactions. All staff I communicated with provided a smooth purchase and sale journey experience who are incredibly professional, informative, dedicated and exceptionally organised and knew I was in safe hands. The estate agent Megan who I spoke with was a great support, she explained step by step the sale and purchase process, backing the information up by e-mail, so relieved she did as you forget all information you discussed as there is so much to take in that you tend to forget it’s a working partnership where information is required from you about you and the property. The information I received was informative and helped me prepare in advance the information I needed to gather. I also found it helpful to receive tips on how best to plan for the sale, viewers and purchase. The property I purchased came with a couple of queries relating to the survey report requiring clarification. Diane (Solicitor) was quick on mark to deal with any discrepancies to ensure a satisfactory response was received and that all I’s were dotted and the T’s were crossed. Being kept updated throughout the process is key and Diane kept me informed of any updates big or small through every stage of the process, answering questions I had quickly and efficiently. I can genuinely write that my experience working with Neilsons has provided a positive long-lasting impact on how a solicitor and estate should be run. My final words are Diane and her team are truly a real credit to the Neilson’s Firm and why they deserve a 5 stars rating and more from me! Janice
