Kaur Sutherland Conveyancing Firm Expands West with Merger with Maitlands Solicitors

Kaur Sutherland, a leading Scots law firm specialising in residential and commercial conveyancing, is pleased to announce the successful merger with Maitlands Solicitors, based in Greenock.

The move expands the firm’s office footprint beyond Glasgow, Dumbarton, and Lenzie. The merger with Maitlands Solicitors marks a strategic step in strengthening the firm’s presence across the West of Scotland.

Founded with a focus on property law, Kaur Sutherland has built a reputation for delivering dependable, client-focused legal services to individuals, lenders, and businesses alike.

Maitlands Solicitors has served the Greenock community with integrity and professionalism for many years. This partnership enables the team to continue supporting local clients while benefiting from the infrastructure and specialist expertise of Kaur Sutherland.

Seamus Lamb, Managing Partner of Maitlands Solicitors (and now Senior Consultant) at Kaur Sutherland), said: “This merger represents an exciting step forward for our clients and our team. Kaur Sutherland shares our values, personal service, professionalism, and community commitment. By joining forces, we’re strengthening what we do best while offering our clients enhanced resources and support. I’m proud to be continuing the work we’ve done in Greenock, now as part of a wider firm with a strong and growing reputation across Scotland.”

Jus Chall, Director of Operations at Kaur Sutherland, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Seamus and the Maitlands team into the Kaur Sutherland fold. Seamus brings more than 40 years of legal experience and deep ties to the Greenock community, values that align perfectly with our firm’s commitment to expert, personal service. This merger not only expands our geographical reach but also strengthens our ability to meet growing client demand with greater depth, capability, and local insight.”

The Greenock office will continue to provide legal services across residential and commercial conveyancing, wills, powers of attorney, and property sales. Clients will also benefit from access to the wider Kaur Sutherland network, which includes approved panel status with major lenders and a strong track record in high-volume, high-quality legal transactions.

Remember: There’s a difference between cheap conveyancing solicitors and good value conveyancing solicitors.

Some firms delegate property work to inexperienced and junior staff – sometimes to people who aren’t even qualified solicitors. Other solicitors can turn out to be based hundreds of miles away from you and it can be impossible to contact them at all, let alone meet them face to face.

Macrae & Kaur are unique amongst Glasgow solicitors in that all of our property work is carried out by senior partners, highly-experienced property solicitors who really know Glasgow and are always available to meet you in person.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have to pay Additional Dwelling Supplement?

If you have not sold your main residence on the day you complete your new purchase you'll have to pay ADS. This is because you own 2 properties. You can apply for a refund if you sell your previous main home within 18 months.

How long does the Conveyancing process take?

The conveyancing process usually takes between 6 and 12 weeks but will vary. Depending on your situation, your case can take much longer than 6-12 weeks. Conveyancing can take a long time for many reasons. Each step of the process must be completed correctly to avoid even further delay.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

Our firm does not charge any upfront fees for our service. The 'no completion, no fee' means you only need to pay us on the completion date.

Can I Buy and Sell at the same time?

In an ideal world, you’d sell your home the minute you put it on the market and then have all the time you need to find your next dream home while your buyers wait patiently until you’re ready to move. Unfortunately, we don’t live in an ideal world and in most cases you’ll need to sell and buy at the same time. This results in a housing chain. While not uncommon, property chains can cause significant headaches. So if you’re planning to buy and sell your house at the same time, make sure you’re prepared. We can help keep everything runs smoothly and according to plan.

How much Land and Building Transaction Tax will I need to pay?

The residential LBTT rates are based on the purchase price bands, with a ceiling for nil rates set at £145,000 A relief for first-time buyers is available, which increases the residential nil rate band of LBTT to £175,000.The availability of the relief will result in a reduction in tax of up to £600 for qualifying first-time buyers, relative to the rates which would have otherwise applied.
