Austin Lafferty Solicitors and Estate Agents is a firm of lawyers and property professionals based in and around Glasgow and in East Kilbride, serving mainly west central Scotland but with a clientele and a professional practice all over Scotland, and beyond.
For property clients, whether purchasing or selling a house or flat, buying-to-let, remortgaging or developing property, or even first-time buying, we have the skills and the personnel to do the work required. Our service goes from the very first enquiry about a property through to completion. All fees and expenses are quoted and agreed in advance, and we will let you know what exactly we do for you beforehand and as a transaction progresses. You incur no fee for a preliminary enquiry or valuation.
With contacts in all sectors of the property market, we can help you find properties to buy, and give you accurate data on the market in which you are buying and/or selling. We are full members of the GSPC - Scotland’s largest property database, and we are keyed into all of the various advertising websites including Rightmove and S1 Homes.
For clients needing help on different legal issues, we offer advice and representation in a variety of cases: family problems, divorce, separation and child law, guardianship, accident and work injury/illness compensation claims, medical negligence cases, property disputes, a range of commercial problems, and criminal and road traffic cases.
They say that the only two things certain are death and taxes. We are involved in both of those, making wills, winding up deceased estates, and helping clients plan their affairs to achieve the greatest inheritance tax savings. We also help clients to make Powers of Attorney to protect against the effects of infirmity or incapacity during later life or illness.
And for those starting up or running a business, we can deal with the purchase or lease of shop, office or factory premises, company formation, partnership matters and general business law advice.
For all work, we offer a preliminary meeting/enquiry (or valuation of your home for sale) FREE. Once we have commenced acting for clients, we use a state-of-the-art case management system approved by the Law Society of Scotland and backed up by an experienced IT team.
The law and the property market are complex things. At Austin Lafferty we can’t wish away the problems and the pitfalls, but we can help you navigate through them, and promise you efficiency, honesty, professionalism and determination to get the job done.
