Neilsons Solicitors - At Your Service.
  • paragraph

    Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents are a highly innovative and pro-active multi-award-winning client service focused firm that specialise in residential sale and purchase.

    No other local firm has won as many major industry awards and accolades as Neilsons in recent years. We are The Scottish Legal Awards' Residential Property Team of the Year 2020, 2021 & 2022, The Law Awards of Scotland's High Street Firm of the Year 2021 and The Negotiator Awards' Scottish Agency of the Year 2019 & 2022. 

    We have over 600 genuine five-star reviews from happy clients on both Facebook and Google across all our branches which indicate our high levels and dedication to client care and service.

    Founded in 1977, Neilsons were one of the first firms in Scotland to open Edinburgh property shops on a friendly shop front basis, rather than an imposing Georgian building.

    From the outset, Neilsons sought to redefine property and legal services locally so that we were friendly, accessible, and plain talking. We speak to clients on a friendly, first name basis and we consider our firm to be highly pioneering in terms of innovation in the local property market.

    Neilsons are one of Scotland's few 'One-Stop Property Shops'. Not all firms offer the same breadth of expertise in-house as Neilsons do: estate agency, sale and purchase conveyancing, wills, power of attorney, executries and other legal advice is all managed in-house by experts in the relevant field across our numerous property shops throughout Edinburgh and Midlothian.

    Our basic philosophy, which regards client service to be of paramount importance, has led to the growth of the firm to the point where we are now one of the biggest Solicitor Estate Agents advertising in East Central Scotland while still retaining the friendly and informal relationship with our clients that has been the trademark of the firm since its inception.

    We offer FREE pre-sale appraisals, FREE house doctoring advice and FREE initial sale and purchase legal consultations. We do not charge for Noting Interest or any unsuccessful Offers.

    As part of our property sale promotion, you do not have anything to pay anything upfront.

      Neilsons were outstanding... an excellent service
      "Neilsons just helped us sell our Edinburgh flat and they were outstanding. So professional and friendly throughout. We were always clearly informed about who would be helping us at each stage of the process and they would be in regular contact with us, always being quick to respond to queries. From start to finish everything was done efficiently and smoothly. An excellent service that I would definitely use again" - Jamie Craib, 2022.

      Down to earth and enthusiastic to help us sell
      "Our experience selling with Neilsons has been excellent. We looked at three agents and decided to chat to Neilsons to get a fourth view and went with them straight away. Kirsten was our sales negotiator and we liked her as she was down to earth and enthusiastic to help us sell. We also got a price we were very happy with and she offered great advice. Sarah was great to meet at the start for initial valuation and also gave good advice plus gave us an honest valuation and useful feedback. She gave us that friendly vibe we really liked about them. Can't recommend them enough." - Neil Renault, 2022. 
    • Seller Testimonial

      We tracked progress using the Neilsons IT Portal
      "We used Neilsons for the sale of our flat and were very satisfied with their excellent processes from the start until the final sale. We were able to track our progress using the Neilsons IT Portal giving us an overview of the current status on every interest, flat viewing and offers made. Sale close out was fast, professional and efficient too. Neilsons staff were amazing and were always available to answer any queries we have and they kept us fully informaed at all stages. We would highly recommend other buyers and sellers to use Neilsons, based on our 5 star experience." - Duncan Simpson, 2021. 
    • Seller Testimonial

      A gold star service at a very competitive price
      "Neilsons sold our Edinburgh listed building three bed apartment in 16 days and from start to finish the service they provided was first class. All of our dealings with their office were met by personal, friendly, efficient and helpful staff. From our first helpful meeting with the property Valuer to discuss the property and agree a price consistent with the Home Report valuation and market conditions, we were kept informed and reassured. We had already had a negative experience with a previous sale attempt with another agent so when we came to Neilsons we were somewhat anxious but we were reassured immediately as they deliver a gold star service at a very competitive and transparent price. We achieved a very good sale price and sold our property in a short time frame. We had a high number of viewers all interested in the property and looking to purchase. We highly recommend Neilsons for their exceptional Estate Agency service and their kind, efficient and professional staff. While all of the staff were amazing, our particular thanks go to Diane Yates who handled the legal side for us. The conclusion of our sale became complex and time consuming but Diane steered us through this process with kindness, patience and professionalism to complete on the agreed date. She kept us informed, reassured and fully engaged in the whole process." - Morag Bryce, 2021.
