“I have used Pollock and McLean for conveyancing, wills and other aspects of legal work. A local business and cannot recommend highly enough. They are professional, efficient and provide excellent legal advice. I sold a house using a nationwide estate agents with an all in package. Worst mistake ever and was actually more expensive. If it wasn’t for Pollock and McLean taking over the conveyancing I think the sale may have fallen through.”
