Good commication

My experience was great when it came to update on emails and calls. I would receive forms. Then after I sent it back if I had missed something or needed more info they would reply back that day. On the phone the solicitors and receptionist would explain who's available, what needed to be done etc.

Sharon at Gilson Gray was a great help in doing this conveyance for the sale of my property. She made it very easy and smooth and kept me informed st all times. A lovely lady who spoke in layman’s terms and made it all simple for me to understand. I would receive them.

My experience with this firm during the purchase of my first home was extremely disappointing, and I would not recommend their services. Communication was consistently poor throughout. I had to arrange the only two phone calls we ever had, and every small enquiry required me to chase multiple times - often five or more - just to get a basic update. Considering there was no chain on either side, the purchase should have been straightforward, yet it dragged on for nearly four months purely due to their lack of communication and inefficiency. The final week was particularly chaotic. Despite having an agreed completion date, I was only informed two days beforehand that they had not received two documents requiring signature, witnessing, and posting. This unnecessarily delayed completion. While I accept that I should have kept track of what remained outstanding, it is completely unacceptable for them to confirm a completion date and then suddenly realise they were missing two crucial documents. As a first-time buyer, this was supposed to be an exciting milestone, but instead it became an incredibly stressful process. Their disorganisation and unresponsiveness took away the initial joy of buying my first home, turning what should have felt like a huge achievement into a source of constant frustration. I understand that many people struggle with solicitors during the conveyancing process, but this was beyond the usual delays or slow responses - it was consistently unprofessional. Based on my experience, I highly recommend not using this firm, unless you want to endure 4 months from hell.
