Hi, I’m John. My wife and I recently sold a flat at 16/5 Portland Place Edinburgh. We found the process very straightforward with McEwan Fraser. Everyone was efficient and kept us updated without deluging us with emails. Ben, Lindsay, Gemma, and Artur made it a stress free process. We’d recommend McEwan Fraser to anyone. We’ve used them to sell and buy a number of times now, & would not go past them.

Kathy Harte, 33 Etringham terrace, EH14 1RZ. Moving from England back to Scotland will be a nightmare i was warned. I contacted James Milne at Mc Ewan Frazer Legal and the worries were gone. Nothing was too much for him and he worked so quickly, to say it was smooth is an understatement. Thank you so much James Milne, I will recommend you to everyone.

Barry (Haq) has been nothing but friendly, approachable and professional during both the sale and purchase of our property. Barry has worked diligently and kept us well informed throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend McEwan Fraser Legal, and especially Barry.

We had a very poor experience marketing our home with McEwan Fraser. Basic mistakes were made with the marketing (e.g. bathroom photos initially omitted from listing), we had to continually push for ideas/advice on the selling strategy and the terms of their “value add” equity release option were unclear and ultimately unworkable for us. We eventually dis-instructed them and ended up in a protracted and unsatisfactory complaints process where their position essentially was 1. You didn’t notice our mistakes at the time and/or 2. We aren’t liable under our Ts&Cs. We would not recommend.

Do not recommend! I employed McEwan Fraser Legal to write and send a letter on my behalf. I had two letters sent on different occasions - both tracked delivery but both appeared to go missing. When the recipent finally recieved the letter it came to light that McEwan Fraser Legal had already given them advice, therefore there is a conflict of interests. I find it extremely unprofessional that this was not highlighted to me earlier. My emails to McEwan Fraser Legal requesting a refund have been ignored. I should not have been taken on as a client to begin with. I feel they have wasted both my time and my money.

Overall, I had a great experience with McEwan Fraser Legal, including prior to my property offer being accepted, the whole team were there to answer questions and advise, as well as make offers when requested. Once my offer was accepted just before Christmas, Barry was extremely helpful throughout the entire transaction, with prompt communication and regular updates that kept me reassured throughout. If I had any queries or needed advice on best approaches he would always be available and quick to respond. The process was much smoother than I could have expected.

Quite happy with my experience with McEwan and Fraser. My solicitor was always quick to get back to me when I had any questions about anything and was very persistent in chasing up a very slow selling solicitor who was being frustratingly slow. Even so he kept hounding them and did everything he could to keep them moving.

My name is Alex, and McEwan Fraser acted as Estate Agents helping me to sell our 25% share in our flat at Quayside Street in Leith. From the outset, we were very well attended to by Jamie, a valuer, who took time to give us great advice, to try to achieve our goals. The introduction and related processes (photographs, the valuation etc) were superbly handled, and set the tone for what turned out to be a very successful sale. The initial process was followed by the team at Head office, who dealt with all interested viewers. They were lead by Claire, and I couldn’t have asked for more friendly, helpful and professional people. The telephone service was available and active outwith normal hours, including weekends, and I had many helpful calls from the staff, regardless of ‘shift-time’. We had 39 viewers and it was all handled excellently. Indeed, all contacts were superb, and it leads me to believe that that sparkling professionalism must be a hallmark of the firm from top to bottom. I was so delighted with the service I am very likely to ask McEwan Fraser to provide advice on the likes of a trust, PoA and wills in the very near future. I had done my homework before, and I was expecting a good service from McF, but in fact they exceeded those expectations in all respects.

McEwan Fraser acted as both estate agents and solcitors for my property in the small Highland village of Ardgay. They really went above and beyond - within a week of my house being advertised I had viewings from people as far afield as the South of England. Within five weeks I had seven offers! Both Craig Peters and Emma Lynch were great at getting the house on the market and guiding me through the sale process. My legal representative was Artur Lasisz and he was fantastic at keeping me informed, keeping on top of things and was also approachable and informative with any questions I had. In summary - I am delighted with the service McEwan Fraser Legal provided: friendly, efficient and reliable. Great company to do business with. Alexander Collett.

We bought a commercial property in near Glasgow and McEwan Fraser Legal did the conveyancing. Everything was professional and accurate. The deal was closed quickly and without any complications. Specifically I would like to mention the excellent work and client focus of Gemma Hayward and Artur Lasisz. I would like to thank them again for their hard work and friendly attitude.

Declan McCulloch recently undertook a discharge of standard security for me whilst I am living overseas. He was incredibly professional and arranged this promptly. Furthermore, he kept in regular contact to update me and was happy to answer any questions I had along the way. Would happily use again for other legal matters.

I became a client of McEwan Fraser Legal due to the array of services they offer under one roof, anticipating that I might need several of them at some point in my lifetime. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Barry Haq. His professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to ensuring a smooth process were truly commendable. I greatly appreciate his assistance, including arranging for Claire Redmond to help with document signing at short notice. Barry's 24/7 communication was exceptional, going above and beyond to keep me informed every step of the way. His responsiveness and willingness to address any concerns promptly were truly impressive. I can confidently say that I will certainly use McEwan Fraser Legal again in the future and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you to Barry and the entire team at McEwan Fraser Legal for their outstanding service.

The sales side of the company is good, but once it hits the legal team they couldn't care less about you. Was given a closing date by one person, then my sale was passed to the legal team. Chased multiple times to ensure we were still on that same closing date, which was important because I had to fly in from abroad to do the handover. Each time, either ignored or told nothing had changed. I fly in - the sale still isn't complete. I'm actually informed of this in a call where I'm also told the process normally takes 5/6 weeks, and the closing date I was given was never realistic to begin with. Shame you never told me, because I'm already here wasting time off for nothing. Followed their complaints procedure and explained my points in an email - that was September, and I still haven't heard back. My sale was completed around 3 weeks later (with a couple of further delays) but nobody apologized, or even acknowledged, the issues prior to that. They will sell your house, but don't expect a modicum of respect.

Fiona McQueen, Brunswick Terrace, Michael McMullen We sold our house and bought our new house with McEwan Fraser. Despite a slow market, we sold our house well over asking price - largely thanks to the part exchange scheme. From the first speculative meeting in October until just this week we have had fantastic service. Michael advised us at the beginning of the process, reassured us in the middle and ensured we were happy throughout. We would recommend this firm very highly, I honestly believe we would have had a very different experience (ie worse) with another firm! Thank you to all the team including the wonderful solicitor Lewis Dobbie who has the patience of a saint!

Our experience to date with James Milne who represents McEvan Fraser Legal has all been positive. We have never purchased property overseas (we are from the USA) and he has been there each step of the way. He is very responsive to inquiries so the communication has been excellent. I can enthusiastically recommend James without reservation to any one buying or selling property in Scotland.

Outstanding service from James Milne as buying agent on purchase of a flat in Edinburgh. Professional, friendly, efficient, proactive and always available. Being based abroad, his support in navigating the dynamic Edinburgh market was really invaluable. I appreciated his advice and guidance thanks to his local knowledge of the market and players, arrangement of on-line video viewings, as well as the negotiations on my behalf. Highly recommend.
