During the current coronavirus outbreak we have put in place robust plans to ensure we can continue to provide as broad a range of services and activities as possible while maintaining the safety of our colleagues and customers.

In line with national guidance issued by the UK and Scottish governments we have introduced remote working for staff wherever possible. This means that email will be the simplest method of contact for most of our teams and landline numbers may be forwarded to a mobile phone for a response.

If you're looking for a solicitor, remember our Find a Solicitor tool offers a simple way to find a solicitor working near you who may be able to help. You may also be able to find the answer to your question on our Frequently Asked Questions page.

If you need to make a payment to us, please contact  our finance or registrar teams via email ([email protected] / [email protected]) for bank details or to make arrangements for credit or debit card payments.
