(While the company did finally provide compensation, it's important to note that I still experienced a significant opportunity cost as a result of their actions.)
It has undeniably been the most regrettable experience of my lifetime, dealing with a solicitor team that exhibited a severe lack of professionalism and courtesy. Initially, I placed my trust in them based on their positive Google reviews, which now appear to be misleading and have led to significant frustration and inconvenience on my part. The solicitor in question was Shari, who astonishingly took a full year to complete the anti-money laundering check, despite my having submitted all required documents promptly. To compound matters, she repeatedly requested the same information, leading to redundant submissions. Regrettably, she ceased all communication, failing to respond to both my emails and those from the seller's side. My attempts to reach her went unanswered for two months until she seemingly disappeared without a trace.
I was dismayed to find myself in such a predicament. In desperation, I enlisted the assistance of the estate agent, who contacted Joni, the National Head of Conveyancing. However, this interaction proved to be equally disheartening, as Joni not only displayed a lack of professionalism but also declined to provide any insight into the unilateral breach of contract, responding in a profane manner.
I strongly advise against engaging with this company. As a result of their inefficiency, my funds remained in limbo within my bank account, as I had initially believed they could promptly resolve their business matters. Consequently, I have incurred substantial financial losses due to the failure of Simpson & Marwick to deliver on their commitments.

Awful experience from start to end, I am still not entirely convinced that they weren't being paid by the sellers. It would explain a lot.

Not very professional, leaving clients waiting whilst they "look for" documents that they seem to have lost. It's been days, I've called multiple times, and not even to call back after telling me they would. Not a single moment of respect for me as a client. Outrageous.

I had previously used the legal team of Simpson & Marwick when buying a property in Edinburgh, and had been very impressed with the service I received. Nearly ten years on I had no hesitation in engaging the estate agency team to sell the property and the legal team to deal with the conveyancing of both the sale and purchase of a new property. The service I received was seamless and highly professional throughout. In particular, their communication was outstanding.

I I first used Simpson & Marwick c. 6 years ago when I sold a property in the Scottish Borders. At that time I found them to be extremely efficient and quick to respond to phone calls and emails. When I eventually sold the property they achieved a sale price that far exceeded my expectations.
Fast forward 6 years and I'm about to put my flat on the market in Edinburgh.
I approached 6 Estate agents (Including Simpson & Market) to see if there was much difference in the selling costs and the marketing packages offered.
The quote from Simpson & Marwick wasn't the cheapest, but based on my previous experience and the way their representative spoke when visiting my property, I went ahead and engaged them again.
Once again, I found them extremely efficient. I was given a dedicated web page that showed exactly where they were in terms of pulling together the various elements of the sale - Home Report, Floor Plan. 3D tour, photos, brochure production etc.
At any time, I could see exactly how things were progressing.
When the property went live on the market, I could see how many people had viewed the page, downloaded the Home report, even how many times the virtual tour had been viewed.
As a side note, the company they used to do the virtual tour did an absolutely superb job in showing the flat at it's best, even coming back on a sunny day to shoot the outside of the property in the sunshine!
My property was on the market for 9 days, at which point we had enough notes of interest to go to a closing date.
To summarise, they may not be the cheapest estate agents in the city, but you get what you pay for with Simpson & Marwick: -
* They're very responsive and can get the property on the market quickly
* They provide a 2nd to none marketing platform and promotion assets
* Ultimately they realised a great selling price for my flat, beyond my expectations.
I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, easily worthy of a 5* Review!

Having lived in the same property for 17 years, moving house seemed daunting. I can honestly say you don’t need to feel worried, fearful, or nervous if you are thinking of moving.
Simpson and Marwick from the initial chat to list our house, right through to completion of missives were like having a safety blanket around you at every stage.
They kept us informed on what to do and why. Katie was excellent at keeping a high-level view on what was happening. A special thanks goes to Philip for his professionalism during the negotiation stages. So calm and clear which really helped. Daniel was also great during the sale and Natalie was a legend navigating us through all of the legalities. All the team were courteous, no question was a silly question and they were super helpful.
What was very good during the sale was the personalised portal where you could login and see all the stats for views, downloads, visits, comments and offers. All held in one place it meant you knew where to go for all information.
Having looked for years to find our new home I can honestly say, to anyone looking, use Simpson and Marwick. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Working with S&M was a breeze from start to finish. They respond very quickly to any emails, calls etc. They are very comfortable giving advice and handling the situation. The online booking system is amazing it made it so easy for me to manage viewings. Would work with them again for sure - we sold our flat in a week!

I found the service we received terrible. Communication was infrequent (it took days to receive email replies), unclear and very unfriendly. We had no awareness of what would happen and when, the process was never explained. I had to phone in to understand what was happening, but phone lines were often busy. Mistakes were made on the forms, even though the correct information had been provided. We felt extremely disappointed by the way we were treated. This all caused us significant stress and anxiety.

Bought our house via Simpson and Marwick and they were exceptionally poor. Continually vague and unresponsive with our solicitor eg we moved in without knowing what white goods were in the house despite multiple requests for a simple list of what would and wouldn't be in the kitchen/ utility. Would in no way recommend.

Without doubt the worst solicitor I have dealt with. Heather is who I dealt with and she was not helpful one bit, it actually sounded like it was a chore to try and help me, I had to do everything, kept chasing her and then 10 days before my mortgage was to renew she told me it’s been pulled. The stress she has caused is mad and I’m pretty positive she won’t bat an eyelid. Pitiful. If you’re using them, ask NOT to deal with Heather.

Terrible experience, not paying invoices sent to them and getting billed them 3 months after moving. Shocking reply’s been nothing but hassle from start to finish. Taking time off work to sort documents that had already been signed and sent back. Also received an email 2 months after moving saying they needed me to sign something I had already done twice then once I had printed off document and signed again I got another email to say it wasn’t needed. Also to add I drove to edinburgh to get this done faster because excuses of the post didn’t arrive.

K Jackman
Honestly worst experience ever. Took so slow to do anything I was chasing constantly while I was trying to work. Had to eventually drive through to Edinburgh numerous times as the excuse was the post wasn’t coming. Then my solicitor went off for over a week ( I get it they need time off aswell) but nobody else bothered taking over the work while she was off. And now 3 months after selling my property I’m finding out they haven’t paid an invoice addressed to them from my valuer in which they’re trying to hit me a bill for £480!!!! Terrible and I do not recommend if it wasn’t for me pushing everyday my house sale was ready to fall through. TERRIBLE COMPANY. Also had to seek legal advice from another solicitor to help me because they were that bad.

I was about to instruct another firm when two friends strongly recommended I talk to Simpson & Marwick. From the first meeting (with Simon Donaldson, who came at short notice and was impressively fully prepared with all the background on the flat I was selling) to conclusion of missives both on my flat and the one I was buying, the service from the in-house team too (Joanna, Georgina and Suzanne) has been simply excellent. It helps that Simpson & Marwick are part of ESPC if you're buying and selling in Scotland. I have already recommended them to two friends about to embark on property transactions.

The result of their hard work was a successful sale at a very good price. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We would highly recommend Simpson & Marwick when selling your property in Edinburgh. Their communication throughout the process was both responsive and professional from start to completion. It is rare that you have a first class team in all aspects of a sale and S&M service exceeded our expectations. Having previously used a competitor a number of years ago we can honestly say that their service was far superior and personal to us throughout the process giving us confidence in what was a speedy sale of our townhouse in Stockbridge.

We contacted you completely out of the blue, 15 years after you assisted me to buy a property in Edinburgh, to buy a house in Aberdeen and we were hugely appreciative of the speed of your response which put us in touch with a local colleague of yours in Aberdeen. The professional and diligent approach combined with the local knowledge of the Aberdeen market really helped the negotiations and we felt supported throughout the process. We wanted to try and complete the purchase as quickly as possible so we were delighted that it was all done within 2 months from when we first contacted you despite the restrictions due to the pandemic and as it was over the Christmas period. Many thanks for all your work and support once again!

No point going for second best when you are spending your worldly wealth on buying a house. Richard Loudon's expertise and wealth of experience paid off, guiding us through to a successful offer for the house we really wanted. And we have nothing but praise also for Kat MacDonald who went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that the remainder of the housebuying process reached a successful conclusion. Both Richard and Kat were highly responsive, which for me is one of the most important aspects of any professional relationship.

Simpson and Marwick are … Simply Marvellous! We first met Richard Loudon, then Property Partner, 10 years ago when we bought a flat in the Edinburgh New Town. We knew immediately that we were in safe hands. So earlier this year, when it came to selling our flat, and buying a house in Stockbridge, we knew to whom we should turn. With 40+ years of experience, Richard has an unrivalled ‘feel’ for the Edinburgh property market. However, what sets him apart is the personal touch that he brings to his dealings with his clients. By turns pro-active and responsive, he invests a huge amount of his own time and energy in achieving the best possible outcome for them. Richard is supported by a first-rate team, including Matthew Munro who handled the business of marketing and selling our flat with great skill and aplomb, and Bobby Fife and Carolyn Jones who dealt with the conveyancing in a highly efficient manner. No questions or issues were too small for any of them; e-mails and telephone calls were answered promptly and reassuringly; and patience and understanding shown to us every step of the way. To steal a line from Dorothy in the ‘Wizard of Oz’, when it comes to buying or selling property in Edinburgh, there’s no place like Simpson and Marwick!

We recently instructed Simpson & Marwick to look after the sale of our house and we thoroughly recommend their service for the sale and the conveyancing. A professional team of knowledgable staff and we got the sense that the agent really knew the market and how to advise us on the best way to handle the offer we received. The results were very impressive and we put that down to their negotiation with the buyer. The conveyancing was also very well handled and we felt very well advised as we were guided through a few hurdles. Well done to the team, top quality! We will be back next time!

"In late September 2020 we decided to put our Morningside house on the market and arranged for a meeting with a representative of the agents we have historically used for our property transactions in Edinburgh. Following the meeting and receipt of their marketing proposal we were not totally happy so we decided to seek a second opinion and contacted Simpson & Marwick. We are so glad that we did. Richard Loudon came around to to see us and took the time to give us a detailed overview of the current market, understanding our drivers and requirements and fully explored the options open to us to achieve our objectives. From that point on Richard and his team were there every step of the way - through the sale of our Morningside property and the purchase of two properties. The marketing and sales process that Simpson & Marwick use is very well thought through and worked like a dream - resulting in the sale of our house within 3 weeks. At all the critical negotiating points Richard was there to safely guide us through. All the legal processes were superbly handled by the experienced Simpson & Marwick team and their recommendations (for example, which removals company to use) were great. In summary they were professional in every aspect of the sale and purchases processes and in their communication, guidance, advice in what has to be one of the most stressful processes we subject ourselves to. Thank you. Janey & Mike February 2021”

Having worked in this sector 15 years ago, we were beyond impressed with the experience we had with Simpson and Marwick.
From the very first interaction, their approach and professionalism was the best we had encountered over 4 property purchases / sales since 2005.
The whole team involved in our purchase and sale this time round were exceptional – we cannot state that enough.
The pro-active approach to manage expectations was excellent, and is one of the main elements to get right during the stresses of house moves.
We will be recommending Simpson and Marwick to anyone that will listen, and should we ever want to move again (!), there is only one company we will go to.

We were apprehensive about buying and selling during Covid but Simpson & Marwick really took the stress out of the whole process. Richard and his team are so responsive, professional and just really great at their job.

We are really delighted and cannot thank them enough for all their advice and hard work.

At relatively short notice we decided to sell our house in Murrayfield in October 2020. We shortlisted three agents and Simpson Marwick easily came out on top ( their website for example was the best in the marketplace) They were professional in every aspect of the sale: communication, guidance, advice and above all they were very pragmatic. The house sold within 10 days at a healthy price where both parties came out of the process extremely happy.
Ironically we have now bought a house in East Lothian. We couldn’t use S&M for the purchase as they were selling the house but as the selling Agents , once again , they were great. Thank you Matthew, Jill and Richard.

From start to finish, I felt I was their most important client - great comms (especially during a very busy viewing schedule) then through closing and settling was as smooth as we could get it - would not go anywhere else - the whole team were a pleasure to work with, and could not have been any more helpful!

The whole team was unbelievably amazing in the sale of our two flats and purchase in Edinburgh. Every single member of the team that we spoke to went over and above what was required. The team were absolutely amazing in helping us navigate the process and were also brilliant in helping with our purchase, giving really helpful advice and input and didn’t argue with any of our proposed low offers! They were absolutely brilliant at pushing through the process of getting missives signed, were really responsive and a pleasure to deal with. We felt in very safe hands throughout

We used Simpson and Marwick recently for the sale of our existing property and purchase of our new one. They were extremely helpful throughout and the guidance they provided through these particularly trickier times was spot on. Never had to chase them for any updates they always kept us well informed and whenever they needed to complete something for us it was done in a timely manner.

The team at Simpson & Marwick did a great job with our sale. We had a personal visit from a valuer (which not every firm offered at that time) and achieved a valuation figure we were happy with, followed by a smooth viewing process that we could track using their app. Conveyancing was all handled very smoothly and professionally, too. We felt it was a really good-value experience.

Simpson and Marwick took the stress out of selling a small flat during lock down. They advised on how best to sell, when to put the property on the market and dealt with all the viewing. The sale went through painlessly. An excellent team.

The company of Simpson & Marwick supported the sale of our home with great expertise. Richard Loudon's advice and the care taken with marketing was excellent.
The sale was concluded without delay and to program, which was especially impressive given the implications of Covid 19.
I can recommend Simpson & Marwick.

It's good to know you are in professional hands. My recent house purchase was challenging and delayed during the pandemic but the team kept me up to date and dealt with all the issues superbly. If you are buying or selling I can't recommend Simpson & Marwick enough.

The team at Simpson and Marwick who helped us on our house purchase were great. Richard Loudon led the team and was incredibly responsive, especially when any issues arose. He was also very clear as to which member of the team we would expect to interact with at each stage. This was not the easiest transaction given it spanned the start of covid lockdown and initially had to be postponed but we received sound advice and support throughout. Bobby Fife was meticulous in anticipating the various legal hoops we would need to jump through and getting the required paperwork in order to comply with all relevant regulations. Carolyn Jones was also brilliant in helping with the key final stages, dealing with them quickly and professionally. Overall a great service and we were particularly glad to have Richard’s experience and strategic advice on our side.

We used both the estate agency and the conveyancing team to sell our property in Murrayfield. Richard’s communication was excellent from start to finish. His accessibility and frank nature took much of the usual stress out of the selling process. Hannah was delightful to liaise with, and although one error occurred within the marketing phase, this was appropriately acknowledged and the mistake immediately rectified.
I was similarly impressed with the efficiency of both Brian and Aileen in the conveyancing team.
We were very happy with the overall ease of the selling process, the advice we received and the final sale price achieved. I highly recommend employing the services of the Simpson Marwick team.

Excellent service. Main strength is super communications at all stages and one's own dashboard monitoring interest is a great feature.

In Spring 2019, we used Simpson & Marwick to sell our flat in the New Town in Edinburgh. They gave great advice throughout the process. Particulars were very good and they covered all of the viewings. The flat sold very quickly for a good price. In November/December 2019 we used Simpson & Marwick to help us purchase a house off market in a Murrayfield. Richard Loudon was an enormous help and the team did a fantastic job.

We would highly recommend Simpson & Marwick to both sell property and buy property. They provided an excellent service from start to finish on both selling our home and buying our ideal property. We were kept well informed throughout in a friendly, professional manner. Nothing was to much trouble and eliminated all the stress associated with moving house.

An outstanding service provided by the whole team at Simpson & Marwick on both the sale of our Edinburgh property and our purchase in East Lothian. Great advice on both - and having it all as a one stop shop was perfect, including all the legals. Would thoroughly recommend.

Simpson & Marwick have carefully considered every step of selling a house to find the best possible way to do it. With their attention to detail, local knowledge and top-class network of partner firms, they marketed our house to its best advantage. A pleasure to deal with and, although more expensive than some, great value for money.
