01
Is the first conversation free?
Yes. New clients get a free 30-minute call to explain the issue and hear your options. If you instruct us, we'll confirm costs in writing before any chargeable work starts.
FAQ
Questions we hear every day.
Quick answers about our practice areas, pricing and booking at Whitlock Fairbairn LLP. Can't find yours? Just ask.
02
Can I meet you online?
Absolutely. Most meetings take place by video, but you're welcome to visit our Edinburgh office. Home visits are available for wills and LPAs.
03
Do you offer fixed fees?
We offer fixed fees for conveyancing, wills, LPAs, probate, uncontested divorce and settlement agreements. For disputes, we agree a budget for each stage so there are no surprises.
04
Do you offer legal aid?
We don't hold a legal aid contract, but we can point you to firms that do. We also explain any funding options, such as legal expenses insurance, that might cover your case.
05
How long will my house purchase take?
Most purchases complete in 8 to 12 weeks. Longer chains, leasehold properties and slow search results can extend this, and we'll warn you early if we see a delay coming.
06
Where is my will kept?
We store original wills free of charge in our secure deeds facility and record them on a national will register so your executors can find them.
Still unsure? Our team can talk it through with you.
