Ian was the best in helping me out after I contacted him with an employment law issue. I contacted a few solicitors in Edinburgh via their online web forms and Ian replied to me within minutes of my query which was excellent! Other solicitors I contacted at the same time either didn’t reply at all or replied weeks later which was not helpful!
Ian was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable – never too busy to reply to my emails when I was looking for information, and occasional reassurance. I had an initial call with Ian, then a face to face in the office and after that most contact was by email which suited me perfectly. Ian was professional at all times and really made me feel valued as a client. His hard work resulted in a favourable result for me, and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone. If I ever need a solicitor again in the future, Ian will be the first person I contact. Thank you!
We are a firm of Consulting Engineers with 30 staff. Over the years we have used the services of Duncan McFadzean of ELP on a number of occasions. As well as advising us on updating our Conditions of Employment to keep us up to date with the ever changing legislation we have also used his services in connection with redundancy and disciplinary matters. The advice we have been given has always been excellent. It is a great comfort to us to have this level of professional support readily available at the end of the phone.
We used ELP for both buying and selling based on personal recommendation. They are up to date with the current state of the market and gave us good advice on what to offer so we were very happy with what we paid for our new flat. When it came to selling the photographers they used for the Home Report were excellent and very painstaking. The schedule they produced was upbeat and attractive. ELP staff gave us regular feedback on the progress of the sale and were always contactable. They offered a highly professional service while at the same time they were friendly and treated us as individuals. A very personal service.
It is always an absolute pleasure dealing with Lisbeth-Ann. She is always friendly and attentive whilst being professional and thorough. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
My wife and I used ELP to update our wills which was done in a highly efficient, friendly and prompt manner. I would recommend highly ELP to anyone wanting to do the same thing.
Dear Bob, just a little note to say a big “thank you” for all your hard work on what has been a very tricky purchase. I have really appreciated the regular communication and responsiveness.

Yes, ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan provides both legal services and estate agency services in Edinburgh. If you are selling a property, we can assist with marketing and the legal conveyancing process. Contact our team to discuss your requirements.
The cost depends on the property and the services required. We publish details of our estate agency and conveyancing fees online to help you understand the likely costs. Additional expenses, such as Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) and registration dues, may also apply.
Buying a property in Scotland typically involves arranging a mortgage, submitting an offer through your solicitor, and concluding missives. Once the missives are concluded, the agreement is legally binding. Your solicitor will then handle the necessary legal checks, settlement and property registration.
You are not legally required to use a solicitor to draft a power of attorney in Scotland. However, the document must include the required certificate of capacity, completed by an authorised professional, and must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian to take effect. A solicitor can help you prepare a document suited to your circumstances.
If you die without a valid will, your estate is distributed according to Scotland's intestacy rules. The outcome depends on your family circumstances and the assets you leave behind. Making a will allows you to set out your wishes, appoint executors and make arrangements for your beneficiaries.
