Legal advice in Scotland at its best!
I cannot praise ELP highly enough for the excellent advice and service that they have given to me over the last three years. I arrived with a complex legal problem. With patience, good humour and fantastic attention to legal detail, Barbara Watson unravelled this complex set of facts, keeping me informed of progress every step of the way, and arrived at a solution that kept everyone happy. And all of this at a very reasonable fee.
I highly recommend this firm – I will certainly be using them for all of my legal needs in Scotland.
Bob, a huge thank you for all your help and advice through my house buying journey! You made it much easier than I had feared and I am extremely grateful.
We used ELP in 2004 to manage the purchase of our first property. More than a decade later, we were happy to use ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan again. Laura and her team provide a thoughtful, personal service that made managing the trickier parts of the conveyancing process much less stressful than they would have been otherwise. We have recommended ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan to several friends and colleagues who have been buying and selling property in Edinburgh and would not hesitate to do so again.
ELP expertly guided us through the maze of disciplinary, grievance and procedural issues of employment law, so that we felt fully prepared with realistic expectations of the outcome. We would highly recommend the services of ELP.
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.
A highly efficient service from the team at ELP. Took the stress out of buying our property.
Thanks Barbara

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.
