Our History, Ethos and Values

Fords Daly Legal was established in November 2013, bringing together experienced solicitors with deep roots in Fife and a shared belief that legal services should be straightforward, personal, and affordable. From our base in Kirkcaldy, we set out to build a practice that puts people first – and that’s exactly what we’ve done.

Over the years, we’ve grown into a team of solicitors, accredited paralegals, and dedicated support staff, serving clients across Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes, Dunfermline, Leven, and throughout Fife, as well as Edinburgh, Lothian, and beyond. Whether you’re buying your first home, planning your estate, or dealing with a family matter, we provide the expert guidance you need – explained in plain English, with no unnecessary jargon.

Our ethos has remained the same since day one: to add the personal touch to every professional service we provide. We believe our job is to establish your needs through direct contact with you, advise what can be done within the law of Scotland, agree on the right course of action together, and then keep you fully informed throughout the entire process.

Client Testimonial

“Over the last 10 years I have used FDL to sell five houses and buy four. Through all my dealings with their staff they have all been highly knowledgeable and professional but remaining informal and putting me at ease. Nothing is too much. I thoroughly recommend FDL not just for house buying or selling but for other legal services too. First class.”

Cannot reccommend FDL enough. We bought our first home through them as they came recommended from the builder at the time. They recently helped us sell that home and buy our new one. Extremely attentive, knowledgable and professional from all we interacted with, special thanks to Scott and Lynne.

We used FDL to purchase our first home back in May and the whole experience was completely seamless. As first-time buyers we were naturally anxious, especially after hearing about other people’s stressful experiences with their solicitors. However, ours couldn’t have been more different.

Emily kept us informed at every stage with her fantastic communication, and we were never left in the dark. We always knew exactly where we were in the process, and whenever we had questions, we were never made to feel like an inconvenience.

We would definitely use FDL again!

I used FDL to sell my first home and could not be happier with their service. Everyone was extremely helpful, a pleasure to work with, and I could not have hoped for better as they managed to sell my home for over the valuation.
I could not recommend FDL more and will be using them again in the future.

Cannot recommend enough, Shannon was a fantastic help in securing my first mortgage. Of course a lot of paper work and documents needed sorting and Shannon went above and beyond, especially in keeping me updated and stress free. Thanks again.

I need to acknowledge the fantastic service from Fiona, Scott and the team at FDL. I just sold my flat in 6 working days at a price well over valuation. We could not be happier with all aspects of the service. I would highly recommend FDL.

We cannot recommend this firm enough for their exceptional service in helping us purchase our first property. After a stressful experience with our previous solicitors, this team was a breath of fresh air. They quickly got us set up and were instrumental in helping us secure an offer.

A special and huge thanks to Lynne, who went above and beyond with her dedication. We were incredibly impressed by her skilled negotiations and invaluable advice. Her commitment made a significant difference.

We'd also like to thank Scott for his diligence. He kept us informed with fantastic communication throughout the entire process, demonstrating amazing professionalism.

Their combined efforts truly made what could have been a very stressful process feel stress-free and painless. We are incredibly grateful and happy in our new home.
