‘A Market That Rewards Preparedness’ – Victoria Lawson on the current state of Scottish property

Victoria Lawson
Victoria Lawson, director of Matheson Lawson in Glasgow, believes the Scottish property market is entering a defining phase – one where preparation, pragmatism, and proper advice make all the difference.
“We’re seeing a more cautious but still highly active market,” says Victoria. “Buyers are becoming more selective, sellers need sharper strategies, and legal advice must bridge those expectations with confidence and clarity.”
With decades of legal experience, Victoria has earned a reputation as one of Scotland’s most trusted voices in residential conveyancing and personal legal matters. From first-time buyers and downsizers to seasoned property investors, her advice is consistently sought not only for its precision but for the practical, human-centred delivery that defines her firm.
“Clients are navigating unpredictable interest rates, evolving mortgage products, and regional fluctuations in demand,” she explains. “In this kind of climate, deals still get done but success belongs to those who are well-advised and ready to move with purpose.”
Based in Glasgow’s City Centre, Matheson Lawson is known for its professional yet approachable ethos. Under Victoria’s leadership, the firm has become a destination for clients seeking clarity in complexity and for fellow professionals seeking dependable collaboration.
Victoria’s background includes senior roles in respected Glasgow firms and a formative early career shaped by a focus on client service. She credits this grounding with her passion for communication and her refusal to overcomplicate legal matters.
“There’s no value in legalese,” she says. “What people need is someone who listens, gives straight answers, and genuinely cares about getting them the right result.”
Outside her client work, Victoria mentors junior solicitors and staff and champions a workplace culture built on trust, support, and shared success.
For those buying, selling, or referring clients into the current property market, Victoria’s advice is simple: “Be early, be informed, and work with people who care about the outcome as much as you do.”
