In the past we've been asked, can you pull out of a house purchase?🏡

In Scotland, it depends on timing. Before missives are concluded, either party can usually withdraw without legal consequences, but once missives are concluded the agreement becomes legally binding.

Understanding this stage is key when buying or selling a property.

If you're unsure where you stand, our conveyancing team can guide you through the process: https://www.mcsherryhalliday.co.uk/contact-us/

When buying a home, the purchase price isn't the only cost to consider.

It’s important to budget for additional expenses such as Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT), legal fees, surveys and moving costs. Planning ahead can help avoid surprises and keep things running smoothly.

If you're preparing to buy, our team can help you understand the full picture from the outset. Get in touch now: https://www.mcsherryhalliday.co.uk/property-services/

We understand life can change quickly and it's important you keep your Will up to date too.

Changes such as marriage, separation, having children or buying property can all affect whether your Will still reflects your wishes. If it’s out of date, your estate may not be distributed as you would have liked.

Reviewing your Will regularly can help ensure everything is still aligned with your current circumstances.

If you're considering updating your Will, get in touch with our team for advice now:

Creating a Will is an important step but making sure it’s stored safely is just as important.

If the original Will cannot be found after someone passes away, it can create significant stress, delays and complications for loved ones. Whether your Will is stored with a solicitor or kept safely at home, it’s important that your executors know where it is and how to access it when needed.

Our latest blog looks at the different options for storing your Will safely and why keeping it up to date matters too.

Planning ahead for the summer holidays after separation can make a big difference for both parents and children.

School holidays often involve longer periods of contact, trips away and changes to routine, so starting conversations early helps avoid stress and last-minute disagreements.

Where possible, it’s helpful to build on any existing arrangements or agreements, while staying open to some flexibility to suit holiday plans. Most importantly, keeping the focus on what works best for the children can help create a positive experience for everyone involved.

If you're unsure how to approach arrangements this summer, our family law team is here to help guide you through your options: https://www.mcsherryhalliday.co.uk/legal-services/family-law-divorce/children-and-the-law/

Thinking about making your relationship official?💍 In Scotland, couples can choose between marriage and civil partnership, and while they offer very similar legal rights, there are some key differences to consider.

From how each is formed to how they’re recognised internationally, the choice often comes down to personal preference, values and future plans.
