They couldn’t run a bath if someone else put the plug in and turned the taps on. Absolutely hopeless, communication is a dirty word to them (2 of them who sat opposite each other would take weeks to reply to each other), don’t use them to buy or sell a property they couldn’t make it harder or more awkward if they tried, their phones only seem to work when they want to talk to you, avoid! Hilariously some of them left to start a new company (maybe they were the bad ones) and contacted me to offer their god awful services!!! I was then contacted by Kerry Wells and was given a sob story about how she’s new etc etc and would pay me to change my review. So even the new staff are dishonest.... Read more

I sold my flat in Leith EH6 using Boyd legal as my solicitors and although the redemption figure was incorrect, the rest of the process was fine. When I employed them again to conclude a sale of a new build, the service was truly atrocious. Lack of communication, emails I sent ignored, treated like a third class citizen. It was so bad in fact, that Boyd Legal came to me suggesting that I find an alternative solicitor to look after my affairs. Dianna Boyd reacted extremely angrily when I said that I hope my new solicitor shall be professional and efficient. They wasted my time and offered no financial compensation, and got aggressively defensive when I complained. Avoid avoid avoid... Read more

Kelly helped us handle the legal process for selling our business and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Kelly was very professional and knowledgeable and we felt at all times that she was ensuring we were getting the best outcome from our business sale. Our sale took much longer to complete than we initially thought and Kelly communicated efficiently, patiently and generously with her time but also in a very approachable way - she really listened to our concerns and questions and we felt in very safe hands. Thanks so much Kelly - you made a very time consuming and difficult process run smoothly.... Read more

The application process is fairly involved but Boyds made it flow smoothly for us and the whole thing was completed well within predicted timescales. At every stage we were informed in the most simple, friendly manner of what was required of us and of the stage we had reached in the process. There was never a time when we needed to approach Boyds to ask about progress. Amy, Peter and Georgia all offered a friendly, personal touch which was very reassuring.

Had a horrible experience when letting from Boyd. The flat was in a terrible condition, the heating barely worked and the overall quality was just disgusting. Requesting any repairs did not happen and I was left with a barely functioning heating system and washing machine. When attempting to finally leave the property it felt my deposit was being held for ransom. Even after getting a cleaner out to professionally clean the flat they still attempted to chage me for wear and tear. It got to the point where they would not respond to any emails and refuse to answer calls from my mobile phone, I had to withhold my number for them to answer and even then I was given no little to no answers with regards to any questions asked. I would highly advise anyone to avoid Boyd Lettings like their life depended on it.... Read more

This review relates to my dealings with Diana Boyd, Director of Boyd Legal. Ignorant, unprofessional, unpleasant to deal with as they don't want to reply to questions. Had to contact the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission to deal with my complaint. Diana Boyd should be ashamed to call herself a professional. Briefly, my experience in dealing with Boyd Legal is that they are poor at communicating with their client. Having complained to the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission, they have found that 'There is evidence of a breach of Article 3 of the Service Standards relating to communication.' The SLCC recommended that my complaint 'amounted to an inadequate professional service' and recommended Boyd Legal pay me £750 compensation. Due to the nature of SLCC complaints (not enforceable by SLCC at the investigative stage) Boyd Legal have declined to pay the compensation (surprise, surprise - would turkeys vote for Christmas?). My SLCC complaint will now escalate to be decided by a Determination Committee whose decision is final and binding, unless Boyd Legal want to appeal to the Court of Session. I'll write a detailed review in due course - probably a lot sooner than the 18+ months it's taken to get my complaint looked at. In that time, I've not had a single response or apology from Diana or her representatives. Sums up the attitude of Boyd Legal perfectly. My advice, if you find you must use this company above all others, is don't be afraid to complain about substandard service to Boyd Legal, and if you get zero response, as I did, complain to the SLCC. It's a pretty pointless exercise so far, but the main thing is having your voice heard, because Boyd Legal, Diana, 'Princess of Silence' in particular, have zero interest in complaints about their shoddy service. Save yourself hassle and grief - hire a different solicitor, you've plenty of others to choose. **Update - Boyd Legal agreed to the £750 compensation rather than face the Determination Committee. Arrogant and ignorant fools could have resolved this 18 months ago. End result is I got what I wanted but was made to jump through hoops to get here. Received bad service from Boyd? Complain and persist, these guys hope if they draw it out long enough you'll give up. Don't - it's not a free service they provide, make them pay when they screw up.... Read more

Like Jonathon and Claire below I had a most disastrous experience with Boyd Legal, in particular, Diana Boyd, and would advise that you avoid them like the plague. I gave one of their solicitors a set of title deeds to study and was told that I could collect them within the week. When, more than a week later I went into their offices one lunch time to retrieve them I was told that I would have to put "my request" in writing. I immediately expressed my surprise and displeasure and was told shortly afterwards by Peter Boyd that they could not find them but not to worry as he would speak with the solicitor involved and call me back that afternoon and in any event they would simply, if necessary, order a duplicate set of title deeds. Of course, no such phone call was received. After approximately two weeks and an exchange of several e-mails with Peter Boyd in which I clarified that I did not actually own the property concerned (it makes no difference, anybody can, as I did, buy any set of title deeds), the matter was eventually handed to Diana Boyd. She then seemed to me to try to deflect responsibility for the matter, she then seemed to me to suggest that the matter was of little if any relevance as I was not the owner of the property referred to in the title deeds I had bought from Registers of Scotland and did nothing about the matter, did not order a set of title deeds. Eventually I too had to make an official complaint to the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission, another less than impressive organisation which takes months to do anything and which seems to revel in making things more difficult than they need to be and creating a (paper) mountain out of a mole hill. However, eventually and after more than eight months after having first taken the matter to Boyd Legal, I was advised by the SLCC that they had offered the paltry sum of £50 to drop my complaint and that I should accept this as it exceeded the cost of the deeds and that there was no guarantee that they, the SLCC, would investigate my complaint further. This seemed, and still seems, like blackmail in my opinion, but perhaps I should not have been surprised given that they, the SLCC, are financed by the lawyers they investigate!
