In this week's episode of ESPC's First-timers Club we are talking about appointing a solicitor. Megan is joined by Keri VanderburgSole, a Partner at Blair Cadell.

In Scotland, it is a legal requirement to use a solicitor when buying a property. A solicitor will make offers on your behalf and can provide advice and support throughout the process.

During this episode Keri explains why first-time buyers need to appoint a solicitor as well as how they can do it and her best advice for first-time buyers.
