Flat 4, 3 Aberdour Place

Sold my flat through your move and Gilson Gray solicitor. Gilson Gray we’re professional and diligent and made sure no future problems would arise. Any questions I had were answered fully and within a reasonable time frame At no point was I made to feel a burden for asking questions that were probably fairly elementary as far as a solicitor was concerned At all times I felt that things were under control Many thanks for your help

Great Team!

Excellent service from the team at Gilson Grey. They worked quickly, kept us informed throughout, and Douglas even worked over the weekend to ensure our mortgage and home purchase progressed without delay. Professional, responsive, and incredibly dedicated. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient solicitor.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Douglas Hardwick (Gilson Gray) for the purchase of my new apartment, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the very first consultation, they were incredibly professional and attentive to my needs. They guided me through the entire process, explaining each step in a clear and understandable way. I particularly appreciated their attention to detail and proactive approach in addressing potential issues. They were always available to answer my questions and provided valuable insights that helped me make informed decisions. I would highly recommend Douglas and Gilson Gray.

Started the process of buying our house in January, came highly recommended by our estate agent as they said there in house solicitors would be quicker as we have no chain. First solicitor we had kept asking for numerous paperwork we had already sent and signed, this happened quite a few times which kept delaying the process. Second solicitor doesn’t seem to be doing much neither because nearly 6months down the line we’re still awaiting a completion and moving date, the property we’re buying is empty there is no chain. The whole process should be simple, quote from the estate agent you should be in by 12weeks from accepting offer. Absolutely ball ache and inches from plugging the plug on the house.

Had numerous issues with this firm... Put the wrong account number on completion day for my mortgage so the gunds did not go to the bank... had two active mortgages costing me money... took 6 months of battling to get a refund... Local search done on the wrong property... no email responses... weeks of calling to get through to anyone... information not sent or incorrect Avoid this firm!

Do not use G&G. I was initially quoted a reasonable sum for conveyancing, with them knowing that the purchase was leasehold and required building safety checks. This price raised slightly halfway through conveyancing, then on the day of exchange it was raised by an additional £1,000, then DOUBLED. Knowing the sale would fall through if I failed to pay, I was forced to. This was a no-chain purchase that took over six months to complete, despite instructions asking them to get matters in order weeks in advance. There is also administrative incompetence seemingly throughout the organisation. Wet ink documents weren't checked and had to be resigned right before exchange, inquiries from myself that relied on 3rd parties were asked one week before exchange (risky, as 3rd parties have no requirement to respond in time), despite being asked months in advance, and despite being a first time buyer, no process or documents were actually explained in any meaningful way. Additionally, questions and emails regarding progress and next steps were never clearly answered, or sometimes they were ignored for days. Certainly not worth the sum they demanded on completion. Avoid at all costs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. The concerns your have raised are being actively investigated by a senior member of our leadership team, and as you are aware from recent correspondence, they will be in touch with you in relation to this in due course. As this review relates to your specific client file and we are unable to discuss confidential detail publicly, we will continue to address your concerns directly and thoroughly through our ongoing process. We appreciate the opportunity to investigate the issues raised and will provide a full response. Best wishes, Gilson Gray

Faultless service provided by Sally McBride at Lincoln. A delight to deal with. Quick responses and explained everything clearly. We are not very good at using portals but they guided us through always offering support and alternative ways. The whole team were friendly and efficient. Even welcomed our dog when we went to take documents!!

Recent on-boarding experience

Connor McCathie was very helpful in my recent on-boarding experience with Gilson Gray in signposting and linking me up to the two or three different departments within the firm that I needed to involve in the transaction I was embarking on. Very helpful 'can do' approach.

We recently completed the purchase of our new home in Runcorn, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Gilson Gray, especially from Travis Yeoman. The whole process was completed incredibly quickly – in just 4 weeks, which exceeded our expectations. Travis was highly professional, knowledgeable, and always kept us informed. Every day he sent clear client updates explaining exactly what was happening, what had been completed, and what the next steps would be. His communication made the entire process stress-free and easy to understand. We also really appreciated the online app, where we could track the progress of our purchase in real time and always knew what stage our case was at. Even when Travis was away from the office for a few days, his colleagues at Gilson Gray seamlessly picked up our emails and continued handling our case without any delays. The teamwork and level of customer service were outstanding. We are absolutely delighted with our new home and would like to thank Travis and the entire Gilson Gray team for making the experience so smooth and efficient. We would definitely recommend Gilson Gray to our family, friends, and anyone looking for professional and reliable solicitors.
