We have used Douglas Neil Solicitors for several house moves and sales. I would highly recommend his solicitor services and wouldn't go anywhere else. He is extremely easy to work with and channels of communication are always open. Douglas responds swiftly and efficiently to any queries or issues that arise. He provides an expert and highly professional service and was able to sort out a whole range of complex issues on our behalf. Fantastic solicitor.

We have used Neil Solicitors on two occasions now, first time we had to abort a purchase at a late stage and second time we were successful and have now moved in. Douglas is very thorough and has an excellent depth of knowledge of the Scottish Conveyancing rules. We will happily use Douglas again (but not for house purchase, this one is a keeper!) for other legal requirements if need be. I highly recommend Neil Solicitors.

We had never purchased property overseas (we live in California)..We cannot believe how lucky we were to have found Douglas Neil. Words cannot even describe how helpful, knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with Douglas was. He has made the purchase of our cottage a wonderful experience. I was in the legal field for many years and have never dealt with a better solicitor/attorney than him. I cannot say enough good things about him and would recommend him to anyone. For any future dealings we have overseas we will use Douglas Neil.

Each step was explained in great detail and the process was seamless. I would highly recommend using Neil Solicitors to anyone.

Excellent service throughout the house purchase. Douglas made sure we understood the process and explained everything as we went along. He was always contactable and responsive to queries. Our purchase had a few interesting issues after closing and these were dealt with speedily and in our interests. Would highly recommend.

Douglas made the legal part of the house sale incredibly straight forward, and at all times I felt he was completely in control.
His knowledge and professionalism was second to none and he picked up on every little detail.
I will definitely use him again in the future. - Excellent service and value.

We were highly impressed with Douglas Neil. We had a difficult process to get through dealing with a commercial property lease agreement. Douglas remained calm and supportive throughout and walked us through all the obstacles with patience and professionalism whilst managing to explain everything in terms we understood. We would highly recommend Douglas, and in fact have engaged his services again for the purchase of a domestic property. First Class service.
