Amazing business. So friendly and so attentive, cannot recommend enough

Failed to contact me in regards to my grandfather's will. They have not sent me any copy of it or comply with laws governing these situations. This has taken years and is yet to be resolved . They'll likely be hearing from another firm soon

B&S successfully completed the purchase of my new home in Peebles and the sale of my previous home in Kirkliston, covering both on the estate agency and conveyancing fronts. The combination of great work, strong communication and a genuinely friendly approach left me feeling very pleased and with no hesitation to recommend to others. Thanks in particular to Kenny, Jagoda and Struan. Best wishes, Nick

Karen Valentine at Blackwood and Smith made what could have been a very complicated process, straightforward and manageable when dealing with my late mothers estate. She was always a calm and sympathetic head during a stressful set of circumstances.

I chose Blackwood & Smith to act in the winding up of my late father's estate as they had acted for him in the past and he was very happy with their service. I was glad I had done so as their service was excellent. They were friendly and efficient and always had the answers to my questions. I felt confident leaving matters in their hands. They kept me up to date with progress and gave us good advice, particularly tax advice, when we didn't even know we needed it! They also achieved a very good price for my father's house after a private sale fell through, which completely exceeded expectations. All in all they were a rock in a difficult time and, although I am glad matters have been concluded, I would have no hesitation in using them again.

My mother and I are exceptionally grateful for the kindness, support, efficiency and professionalism shown to us from Fiona Fleming and her assistant Frances Knott throughout the handling of my late Father’s estate. They made the whole process seamless during a very difficult time and we thank them for their empathy and sensitivity. We are very happy with the service from this firm and will certainly be using the services of Blackwood & Smith LLP again and have no hesitation in recommending them.

We used Blackwood and Smith to execute my mother-in-law's estate, and were glad we did. The state was handled by Karen Valentine and Frances Knott, who were far more pleasant to work with than what we had expected from legal professionals. The estate was executed without issue, which is more than we can say for the expensive Edinburgh lawyers who had executed my father-in-law's will. They also took alternative routes that meant the confirmation happened 4 weeks quicker. We will be using Blackwood and Smith for future legal work.

Our lawyer Karen helped my parents during their lives and after their deaths, finalising their estates clearly and efficiently. Karen was so efficient and pleasant to work with that we also asked her assistance with a problem we had with another estate. She was very patient and kind while dealing with the issue and helped us to finalise that estate within months despite difficulties. I would always recommend Karen at Blackwood & Smith.

I found the staff I communicated with to be empathetic, efficient and very helpful. They were good at explaining the paperwork and answered queries very quickly and effectively. Considering this was a sad and difficult time for me, they helped me with the legalities and accounts involved very well, so that I could come to terms with my bereavement. Thank you.

Blackwood & Smith dealt with my godmother’s Executry. They more than met my expectations and offered excellent service. Special mention to Karen who was faultless throughout this difficult time. I was always kept up to date with the process, explained in a manner I could easily comprehend.

I have been with Blackwood and Smith W.C. at least since the 1980s and would never use any other lawyer.
I have always been treated so well, promptly, kindly and diligently.
Karen Valentine was new to me when, on my husband's recent death, she took on a very complicated job and dealt with all my mistakes, my woes, and I felt she was indeed a very professional friend. Such times require humanity as well as professionalism. Everything was dealt with promptly, correctly and with understanding. I was kept up to date with what was happening.
I have always felt comfortable with taking any problem to this firm, particularly now.

Karen Valentine at Blackwood and Smith dealt with my late aunt's estate and I was extremely impressed with the service she provided. There were a large number of beneficiaries including 2 living abroad and a considerable number of companies to contact as part of the process. All the communications which I received were timely and very detailed and clear. When it became apparent that the winding up of the estate was taking longer than expected Karen arranged to make interim payments to all of the beneficiaries which was greatly appreciated. Karen's persistence in dealing with some of the larger well known Scottish companies and constantly checking that they had the correct details before accepting any repayments or invoices is to be admired.
I would highly recommend the service provided by Karen Valentine.

Absolutely superb service. They were very accommodating to my millions of questions, not having any experience myself. They went above any beyond, even helping me with unrelated matters at the same time. Especially Karen, whom without her, I would have been very very stressed. Thank you all.

We used Blackwood and Smith for the Estate management of an elderly relative and found the support and advice given to be excellent.
Struan was calm and efficient in his conveyancing work and we had total confidence in him. Michael added further to the team and kept us informed at all stages which was particularly helpful as we do not live nearby.
Karen was outstanding in her Estate management work, often organising matters before we had even thought to ask!

We have used Blackwood & Smith for a number of conveyancing and property matters recently, dealing primarily with Struan. Everything was dealt with in a smooth, calm and knowledgeable fashion. Matters of importance were highlighted to us during the transactions, and everything else was taken care of. We felt we were in very safe hands. I am very pleased with the service we received and I wouldn't hesitate to use B&S again in the future.

Our family have worked with Blackwood & Smith (and in particular SLA Karen Valentine) over many years, and would have no hesitation in recommending them. Karen has been enormously helpful in her management of complex Estates. She is absolutely meticulous in her approach, gives excellent advice, communicates promptly and effectively, and does all of this while displaying high levels of empathy and understanding.The front of house staff are unfailingly warm and welcoming. In addition, their fee structure has always seemed very reasonable and provides great value for money.

Struan and Marisa (and everyone else we had contact with) were extremely helpful when we were purchasing our first home. They talked us through the whole process, kept us up to date with regular emails, and we never needed to chase them for a response. They made the whole process stress free, and we would recommend them wholeheartedly!

We used Blackwood and Smith for the purchase of our new home this year and Struan was fantastic every step of the way. We felt a bit out of our depth being first time buyers but he explained everything as we went and kept us right. Our move in day went nice and smoothly as Struan kept us up to date on everything going on. We would definitely recommend!

Used Blackwood & Smith to help with the purchase of my new build property.
Being a first time buyer we didn't know much of the process involved in purchasing a property but Struan was a great help in answering any queries or passing on relevant information to us.
I would highly recommend anyone looking to buy a property to use Blackwood & Smith.

We recently used Blackwood and Smith for the marketing, sale, purchase and conveyancing of our existing and new home. I was absolutely delighted with the service and they were flexible to additional requests from me. The one stop shop made everything seamless. Move day went so smooth with personal phone call at 10am on moving out and into new property day from Sally Swinney to confirm sale and purchase had been complete. Would certainly recommend.

My family has used this firm for years, as in generations, but personally I wouldn't give them address book space. Lacs in responding to emails and phone calls to say the least. I would definitely recommend going elsewhere. There must be other lawyers in Peebles....or in any other Borders town.

As a first time buyer, the whole process at times was daunting when buying a property however Sally reassured me every step of the way and definitely made the process of buying easier.

I’ve used Blackwood and Smith for many years as our family solicitors, and Sally Swinney in particular. I would and do highly recommend her and her colleagues for straightforward and honest advice, action and guidance. Her ability to maintain focus even when advising on emotive family events has been hugely appreciated and beneficial to me.
