Edinburgh estate agency and one of Scotland's top law firms

Harper Macleod is an Edinburgh-based estate agency and one of Scotland’s leading, full-service law firms. With offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Elgin, Thurso and Lerwick, our award-winning solicitors advise businesses, organisations, individuals and families on all their legal needs.

As well as working hard to achieve the best possible outcome for clients who are buying and selling their homes, we offer clients the added benefit of access to the full range of legal services you may need in both your personal life and business.

Harper Macleod has been named Scotland's Law Firm of the Year eight times, and that's because we believe you get out what you put in. Because we’re driven by your needs, not ours, we’ll work harder to understand your requirements.

Our roots

In 2024, Harper Macleod joined forces with Beveridge Philp & Ross - an Edinburgh-based solicitor and estate agency firm. Beveridge Philp & Ross provided a full estate agency and property buying service for domestic and commercial clients, prepared Wills, powers of attorney and trusts, while also dealing with the administration of estates and executries. It also advised landlords and tenants on residential and commercial leasing, prepared residential tenancy agreements and acted in all aspects of commercial and business law for clients.

The move saw the joint firm retain the people who have earned such a great reputation in Edinburgh while giving clients access to a much greater range of legal expertise. The joint firm brings the full weight of Harper Macleod's commercial and personal legal offering to the existing services provided to future and current clients.

Property fraud prevention

  • Aileen Venables was absolutely fantastic. We have worked with her in our two previous house moves (at her old firm) and followed her to her new firm as we trust her and rate her so much. Thanks so much.
    Megan Binn
  • This was my first time using Harper Macleod to sell a house, and it was a positive experience. It took longer than I had hoped as the first offer we accepted failed due to prospective buyers being unable to sell their property. Aileen advised us at every stage on what was happening and what would be our best course of action. Sonya organised all the viewings and asked for valuable feedback to prevent time wasting. I would recommend Harper Macleod.

  • This is the second time Aileen Venables was my solicitor, and once again, it was a very smooth and stress-free experience.
