# McKinnon Forbes
McKinnon Forbes is an established law firm and estate agency operating across the South of Scotland and East Lothian since 1982. Based in Tranent with additional offices spanning Annan, Duns, Galashiels, Hawick, Jedburgh, Kelso, Langholm, Melrose, Peebles and Selkirk, the firm provides comprehensive legal and property services to local communities and beyond.
The business serves individuals and families navigating significant life events—from first-time buyers purchasing their initial home through to established families managing property portfolios and planning estates. Their dual expertise in law and estate agency allows them to guide clients through complete property transactions, whether buying, selling or letting residential properties.
What distinguishes McKinnon Forbes is their integrated approach. Rather than operating separate departments, they combine solicitor expertise with estate agency knowledge to provide seamless conveyancing services. This integration means clients benefit from unified guidance throughout property transactions, reducing complexity and potential miscommunication. Their four-decade track record demonstrates sustained local trust and deep understanding of regional property markets.
The firm explicitly positions itself as a "whole-of-life service" provider, recognising that legal and property needs evolve. Beyond residential transactions, they address family law matters, wills, executries and commercial property requirements. This breadth allows long-term client relationships rather than one-off transactions, with the flexibility to offer video consultations, telephone support or in-person meetings across their extensive branch network.
