When selling a property, 9 years after purchase, on accepting offer we discovered our original purchase had not been fully completed & the previous owners still had an outstanding loan against the property we had owned for 9 years & were now stuck in the position of possibly not being able to sell as things stood.
I was completely disappointed in the lack of response for THREE months from McQueen Legal until we gave them 7 days or we were going to Law Society as a last resort, finally they were able to deal in 7 days something we had tried for 3 months to sort out.

I was advised to use McQueen Legal and Mary in particular, to settle my mother's will after her death, by another solicitor - what better recommendation! I then made quite a complicated move - split a property, went to live in another country, made a new will and set up Power of Attorney. Mary advised on every aspect and used her knowledge of the property market to get me an excellent price for the house I sold at a particularly difficult time for the market. Five star treatment.

I am a single female in my early 50's and this was my first house purchase. I was understandably nervous about the legal side of the purchase, I asked friends to recommend a good solicitor and McQueen Legal was mentioned a few times. I went along to the branch that was nearest me and as soon as I started speaking to Dot I knew McQueen Legal was going to be the right choice for me. Everyone I have dealt with has been thoroughly professional and took the time to explain each step in the process fully to me. I have always encountered a friendly helpful manner from anyone I spoke to at McQueen Legal but what impressed most was after completion. I received a personal email from Mary McQueen congratulating me on the purchase of my property and asking for my views on the company. How they had handled the work carried out for me and if there were any way they could improve on their service. This is clearly a company that puts customer satisfaction at the top of their list.

This is the second time I have used McQueen Legal. I went back to the firm because their service the first time had been excellent. I informed them that I was looking for a house to buy and Jane Yarrington was incredibly helpful in doing the preparatory work. She gave me excellent advice to avoid a closing date and secure my dream house. Once that part was done, Dorothy Woodward took over and she ensured that everything went as smoothly as possible. She also got me in touch with a great financial advisor to sort out a mortgage. Overall I can say that the service I received from McQueen Legal was outstanding. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

I have sold (and subsequently bought) 2 houses with Mary McQueen now. My first house was up for sale with another estate agent for about 8 months and i was not getting much interest so i decided to change and go with Mary McQueen. This turned out to be a very good decision as the house was then sold within about 2 months I think. The second time round I used Mary McQueen first time and the house was sold within 6 weeks. The staff were very professional from start to finish and i would recommend them to everyone.

My experience with McQueen Legal was first class. Held my hand through what was two very quick house sales and also our new house purchase. Kept it simple and made me feel at ease. Moving house is meant to be stressful.................I did not find this at all, and McQueen legal played an important part in this.

Living in Manchester and not knowing a thing about purchasing a property in Scotland we were anxious to have a solicitor who could give us accurate advice about how to proceed. McQueen Legal surpassed all our expectations. The advice we were given on how to proceed with properties we were interested in was absolutely spot on. Once the process of purchase was underway Mary McQueen and Dot Mullally handled all the legal details expertly and I am sure we would not have got the flat we wanted without their expert knowledge of the property market in Edinburgh. I would recommend McQueen Legal without reservation. They were worth every penny of their very reasonable legal costs. On top of this they are genuinely nice people who make their clients feel important and valued. Stress free conveyancing. Why would you use anyone else ?.

I discovered McQueen Legal on the internet and decided to give them a call for advice, this was a wise choice as we had a negative experience with a solicitor in Edinburgh prior to this!
Our contact related to the purchase of a second property for ourselves and we requested an estimate of costs. Initially I spoke with Mary McQueen who was polite, articulate, knowledgeable and interested and thereafter we dealt with Jane Yarrington. We received our estimate very swiftly which was significantly less than other companies. I was amazed, then even more amazed, that they provided a much superior service, for less than other lawyers, in Edinburgh! We found her to be excellent and brilliant at dealing with issues and questions on the spot. Nothing appeared too much trouble, her memory was excellent and she recalled with great accuracy our earlier conversations and valuation figures, most people would have to re refer to their paperwork! I would definitely use Mcqueen legal for all our future business as we have been so happy with their professional efficient manner. Most of all we found them to be entirely TRANSPARENT and TRUSTWORTHY. Very Important qualities in the legal world!! 5 STARS!!

We were grateful for the sensitive and considered attention that we received from McQueen Legal during the process of the sale of this property. The sale resulted from the death of a family member and the sympathetic handling of all the necessary details and decision-making required from us was much appreciated.
The process was carried out speedily and with maximum efficiency. We were informed of progress at all times and were very confident that we could leave all the details of the transaction in the safe hands of the staff of McQueen Legal.
They made the whole experience of the sale of the property one which we would be happy to repeat if necessary in the future.

Living in Hertfordshire, I made an initial telephone call to McQueen Legal after seeing their details online. At the time, I knew nothing about McQueen Legal.
Jane Yarrington answered my call and offered most helpful and reassuring guidance (I recall thinking this was a most impressive service on a first telephone enquiry) leaving me in no doubt I would like McQueen Legal to manage my intended house purchase.
The purchase involved synchronising two house sales in Hertfordshire and purchasing a property in Edinburgh. Due to the various complexities of my house sales, purchasing a house 400 miles away and dealing with two different legal systems, I knew I needed the best professional legal advice.
Jane Yarrington successfully helped secure my offer on the Edinburgh property and then handed over to Mary McQueen for the conveyancing process.
It was a pleasure to have my many queries handled with such calm efficiency and care and the speed at which Mary McQueen works is quite remarkable. Mary McQueen achieved what appeared the impossible at the outset!
McQueen Legal offer a highly professional, approachable and friendly service and it has been my very good fortune to find a solicitor of such calibre.
Thank you!

The property sale was very challenging given the personal situation I was in and also the lender I had chosen to borrow the the mortgage from. ( We all know the selling bank always makes it difficult to sell the property so that they can make more money out f the sale). Mary handled them with ease and the other selling partner I had with high level of professionalism and commitment and made it look like a cake walk for her. She is definitely an expert in what she does. She made it easy for me in terms of property valuation, verification of details, signing the documents, arranging for viewing the property, selling strategy
I would like to Thanks Mary and team a BIG thank you from the bottom of my heart
I would definitely recommend their services to anybody who would buy or sell property in Edinburgh.

When we decided to sell our property, we had planned to go with an alternative on-line service; only because they advertised a cheaper service than most shop front legal services.
However, after conducting an initial inquiry with Mary, I knew that there was only one legal service to deal with and that was McQueen Legal. For the start, Mary and her team were brilliant; not only where they all enthusiastic about selling our property; they where all engaging; as well as providing us with good communication and regular updates. This was clearly evident with our initial sale fell through; for Mary and her Team went above and beyond in trying to rectify the situation.

I researched a few estate agents before choosing McQueen Legal and am I glad I did!
They were competitive and professional through out the process of selling my property.
Firstly from their extensive knowledge of the local property market they advised me on the selling price and what was needed to get the house ready to go on the market. The marketing details and home report were ready very quickly and up went the sign. The office worked closely with me and unlike other agents a have dealt with, always kept me informed at every stage. The house was sold within weeks! All the paper work was dealt with professionally and explained in full. McQueen's seem to have cracked the art of communication with themselves as well as their clients. I am very grateful, thanks.

My flat had been on sale with another agency since March 13 -Jun 13? with hardly any nibbles but very time consuming for my parents to go up to flat onThursday and Sunday especially when no visitors. McQueen Legal took over with viewings by appointment and it was sold Nov with new people moving in 6 Dec 13. As financially I was having to pay 2 mortgages it was very tight during that period. I have nothing but praise for McQueen Legal.
