All in all, a very poor experience across attempting to purchase 2 properties Via Elmslies.
Firstly, we were told our offer was going to be too low and they wouldn't put it in. The property subsequently sat on the market for a further month (and required a quick sale) and when we tried to make our bid again a month later, we were told 'sorry you're too late on that one'.
Secondly we failed to complete on a property (our fault this time) and were charged an inordinate amount for it. Correspondence and reviewing of documents can have taken no longer than an hour.
We have since bought a house using a different Solicitors and it seamless and half the cost of the failed purchase with Elmslies.

Simply unfair. We were charged for sending a 1 line email.

Derek and his team helped us purchase our new home and the process was smooth. He was communicative and even when we hit a glitch - he made an effort to call late on a Friday before the weekend to ease our minds....

Compared to other Agents, Elmslie's fees were very reasonable for the value of service you receive.
