Should you use a Solicitor Estate Agent to sell your home?

12 June 2025

Selling your home is a big decision. Whether you’re moving to a new city, upsizing to fit a growing family, or downsizing for a simpler life, there’s no doubt the process can feel overwhelming at times. That’s why choosing the right support from a solicitor estate agent makes all the difference.

You might be wondering: what exactly is a solicitor estate agent, and how are they different from a regular estate agent? Both great questions and understanding the difference could save you time, money, and a whole lot of stress.

The All-in-One Advantage

Unlike independent estate agents who focus solely on the marketing and negotiation side of the sale, solicitor estate agents take care of everything under one roof. From preparing your property for the market, to managing viewings, handling offers, and completing the legal work (also known as the conveyancing). It’s all done by one trusted team.

That means:

• No need to juggle different companies or repeat your story multiple times.
• Whole process will be dealt with under one roof by a single connected and well informed team. 
• Just one clear point of contact managing your sale from start to finish.

It’s a smoother, more efficient process - especially if you’re juggling a busy schedule or selling for the first time.

Expert Advice

Pricing your home correctly is one of the most important steps in selling, our solicitor estate agents offer accurate valuations informed by in-depth local market knowledge and experience with recent sales in the area. They’re also on hand to advise on: 

• When to set a closing date
• What to consider when negotiating offers
• How to spot and avoid common legal pitfalls in the selling process

Because they understand both the property market and the legal framework of selling a home in Scotland, their advice is well-rounded, strategic, and always in your best interest.

Trust

Another key difference is our member solicitor estate agents are regulated by the Law Society of Scotland. 

This means they are:

• Legally required to act in your best interests
• Held to strict professional and ethical standards
• Fully qualified to offer legal advice and complete all conveyancing work

It’s reassurance that you’re getting service and advice you can truly rely on.

With a solicitor estate agent, integrity is part of the job. Whether it’s the way your property is marketed, the valuation given or the negotiation strategy used, you can trust that everything is handled with care and transparency.

Peace of mind

Selling your home can be emotional. It’s not just a transaction, it’s the end of one chapter and the start of another. That's why it helps to have someone by your side who truly understands the process and is invested in getting the right outcome for you.

With a solicitor estate agent:

• You’ll have confidence that nothing is being overlooked.
• You’ll benefit from clear communication and expert guidance throughout.
• You’ll know your sale is in the hands of qualified professionals who care about getting it right.

Whether this is your first time selling or you’ve done it all before, using a solicitor estate agent makes the experience less stressful and far more straightforward.
