Hastings Legal Reviews 

Today my family completed on what will be our first ever family home in Edinburgh; this as we return to UK after many years living and working overseas. The purchase process was managed for us by Hastings Legal; a firm introduced to me by an Edinburgh based friend. I can safely say it was an excellent recommendation and good choice for my wife and I to make as the various pieces of advice provided, as well as the service delivered by our attending solicitor from Hastings was, quite simply first class. The timely answers to those queries we did have were consistently supplemented by clear, readily understandable updates throughout each step of the process. I would highly recommend the practice to anyone given our positive experience as described.

I would highly recommend Hastings Legal for a house purchase. Lia was very efficient in dealing with all the paperwork and liaising with the vendor and her solicitors. All my questions were dealt with as promptly as possible and key collection was arranged to suit my timings. Thank you so much for making this such a stress free purchase.

I have always been extremely impressed and happy with the service provided by Hastings legal letting in the Eyemouth office. Mark McGregor in particular is brilliant. He always responds quickly and helpfully and goes above and beyond to help his clients. This is even the case for relatively trivial matters. I would not hesitate to recommend Hastings legal.

While visiting the Borders area to view properties, my wife and I called into the office in Kelso.
We were met and dealt with by Lauren, who was very friendly polite and professional.
It was quickly evident that Lauren has an extensive knowledge of the area and the properties for sale within it.
Having established our preferences, Lauren highlighted several properties that we had not considered, which allowed us to best utilise our time in the area.
Thank you Lauren.

Vicky Maxwell recently helped me out with the purchase of a house in Jedburgh......only wish you could score higher than 5 stars !!!
Service, help and attention to every detail was fantastic, would highly recommend and use again without hesitation.

Many thanks Vicky and all the team at Hastings

We were delighted with the services at Hastings, we dealt with Abby Syme who was brilliant throughout the process of buying our house. It was a tricky process at the very end but thanks to Abby we made it.
Highly recommend.

Our sale was full of problems which Vicky sorted in a calm and efficient manner.

Problems were largely due to my incompetence but Hastings Legal (Vicky Maxwell) sorted these out immediately.

I would recommend them without any hesitation.

As first time buyers we didn’t know what to do or expect when buying our house. Emma in the duns branch took complete care of everything for us with great communication from the the start right through to when the sale went through. I couldn’t recommend Hastings and Emma enough. We can now relax and enjoy what life has to offer in our new home.

Top service,

Thank you

A pleasure to deal with!

From engaging the property shop to the completion of our sale, Hastings have been a pleasure to deal with. Professional and taking the time needed to guide us through the process.

Highly recommend both the property shop and the legal department.

Thank you to all the team!

From start to finish, Lia at Hastings (and Tim at the end providing leave cover) , provided a first class service handling our conveyancing as we relocated from Kent to Kelso. Clear concise advice and no issues at all. Thank you very much.

Having lived in the same house for over four decades, it was quite a thought to sell up and downsize. Hastings provided an absolutely brilliant service. Every phone call and email was always answered promptly. I was kept well informed every step of the way. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you to everyone at Hastings who helped me.

As a foreign-based seller, I was unfamiliar with the UK property sales process. The team at Hastings was incredibly patient, answering all of my questions and helping me gain a clear understanding and the confidence needed to move forward. The UK business model, whilst different from North America, made perfect sense and added value at every stage. There’s no duplication, which means no wasted time, and everyone’s expertise is maximized.

The operation runs smoothly, offering prompt and efficient service. I especially appreciated the regular status updates, which kept me well-informed throughout the process. The multiple locations are also a significant advantage for clients.

Hastings has assisted me with estate work, a will, and a property sale, and I highly recommend their services.

I was really pleased with the excellent service I received from the Hastings team and would certainly recommend them. Nothing was too much trouble and any queries I had were answered quickly and in a very professional manner.

These guys are so professional yet make you feel like family! They have looked after us for over 20 years and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Vicky is the absolute best!

We received excellent service throughout our purchase. Professional & knowledgeable.

We used Hastings to sell our property and then to make an onward purchase. From start to finish the process was very straightforward and I can’t thank the team enough for making it so stress free for us! Our house sold within 2 weeks and we were then able to make an onward purchase soon after.
A huge thanks to the whole team. Particular shout out to Jan who led on our sale, secured us so many viewings, kept us posted with feedback and was so lovely with it all too. Our house sold within 2 weeks! Donna who did our negotiations and was so reassuring and kind. And Abby who was our solicitor for both sale and purchase. Abby communicated all updates with us along the way, was so efficient and answered any queries we had very quickly.
We would definitely recommend Hastings to others and are very grateful to the whole team for making the process as smooth as possible for us!! Thanks so much!

I’ve got nothing but good things to say about my whole experience working with Hastings. From organising a viewing, putting in an offer and then receiving help with the legal affairs…everything has been super efficient with excellent communication.
Everyone that I have dealt with have been so kind and were always happy to answer any questions I had.
Thank you Lauren, Donna and Lia for all your help and part in helping me purchase my house!

Having accepted an offer on our home in Kent, we first made contact to enquire about lettings, since wanted to bide our time and find the right property 'all in good time.' When we were up in the Borders on holiday we met with the relocation advisor, and this changed our lives. Within two days, and while on holiday we had viewed, offered on and had a revised offer accepted on a property that ticks all our boxes. Standouts were Cathy and Kerry, but all at Hastings we had dealings with were courteous, attentive and responded in good time to emails. A very positive experience.

Fantastic service
Emma Lowans was very efficient and helpful throughout our house purchase, cant recommend enough the service we were provided.

Hastings are a level of professionalism that is inspirational. From Lia in Legal's diligent and friendly approach to Donna's positive and uplifting manner to Ruth's attention to detail and hunger to do the best for Hasting's clients.
The entire team are fantastic and made spending money really fun 🤣
Absolutely would recommend
