House sale was smooth

House sale was smooth, helped by knowledgeable and kind staff at Lincoln office. They kept us informed on the way at least weekly. Sharon May was especially sensitive to our need for large print documents. Top marks for clarity, regular communication and friendliness.

Cannot thanks Kirsty enough

Cannot thanks Kirsty enough for all her help with the purchase of our new property. Especially given the challenges we faced with our buyers incompetent solicitor. Despite those challenges Kirsty kept me informed throughout the entire process which gave me reassurance that everything on my end was taken care of.

Impressive communications and professionalism.

Alana assisted us in the purchase of our new home and we can’t thank her enough. The communication throughout the process was outstanding and treated with the upmost professionalism. Alana also took extra time to help explain the processes to us which really helped us get a better understanding as buying a new home can be very overwhelming and stressful. We can’t thank Alana and Gilson Gray for all their help.

Excellent Service

We used Gilson Gray LLP for selling and buying property and received excellent service. We found all staff to be very responsive and took the time to explain things every step of the way. Alan Craig was particularly attentive and answered all and any questions immediately, even over weekends. We felt safe in Alan's hands and we will not hesitate to use Gilson Gray LLP in future.

Outstanding service from Shuhel Ahmed at Gilson Gray. He worked incredibly hard over the last month to get my deal over the line even working overtime to make it happen. He significantly reduced my stress and I truly appreciate his dedication. Highly recommended!

Horrible service

Horrible service. Very slow. And if you are self employed, avoid avoid avoid at all costs
They will only waste your time and charge you extensive for their poor service. Totally despicable company.

1st class service

1st class service. We were kept well informed throughout the sale & purchase of our house. Jehnnaie was very knowledgeable and fast with replies to any queries. All the correspondence was carried out electronically, we had no need to visit the solicitors office. We would highly recommend using GilsonGray solicitors, and in particular would like to thank Jehnnaie Johnson for her work

Very Good

Gilson Gray and Rachel were very competent when it came to selling my Mums house, everything was done remotely so I never actually met the team, but it all worked out very well. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the process was lengthy (nothing to do with Gilson Gray) and I just felt communication could have sometimes been better over those long periods were nothing is happening. It seems futile with nothing to report but sometimes the touch points are needed to just calm the nerves. Overall though they advised excellently when needed and everything went through without drama, would definitely recommend.

I hope never to come across this…

I hope never to come across this company of conveyancers ever again. You will never deal with a dedicated person for your case. It seems to be a warehouse of call centre personnel who couldn’t give a fudge about your situation. Terrible communication is an overall theme. You will tell them explicitly one thing, and they will come up with their own interpretation. Absolutely the most infuriating time of my life. Yes they got there in the end but to have to deal with this company ever again? NO!

As first time buyers

As first time buyers, my partner and I went with Gilson Gray based on recommendation and connectedness to our mortgage broker. Overall, we had a good experience, there were no delays on their part, research was thorough, reassurance and communication was provided at appropriate times and their liaison with the mortgage broker was smooth on our behalf. However there were some breakdowns of communication at points, which led to more progress being made by numerous other members of the team and issues with the initial on boarding check surveys not saving information. With zero experience behind us in property purchasing, we would have appreciated at least one opportunity to appear in-person to run through some email content to ensure understanding. But these are small things that overall wouldn't impact on us using the services of Gilson Gray in the future.
