Gilson Gray LLP

Douglas was quick in responding to any correspondence and got the job done.

I have used Gilson Gray 4 times now for buying and selling property. Every time they are quick to respond to emails and get the job done efficiently and in a timely manner, all at a fair price.

David Gray was incredibly helpful from initial engagement through to conclusion. Clear, friendly and professional communication and happy to answer any questions we had. Resolved our enquiry very quickly and made it a stress free process with clarity around what work would be carried out and the associated fees. Would highly recommend.

Used when purchasing a new house, Gilson have been super helpful and went above and beyond.

We had Douglas's excellent assistance in getting our purchase offer approved. I am thankful for his quick replies to our questions and explaining everything patiently and in a friendly manner.

First time buyers, these are the solicitors you want helping you through your first property purchase. I had the lovely experience of having Monika handle the legal affairs regarding my purchase of my first home. Everyone told me that solicitors are infamous for dragging their feet when it comes to moving the process along, but that couldn’t be further from the truth with Monika. She helped the process move faster than original expectation and provided both information & reassurance of what was happening so I was always kept in the loop. The accessibility to ask her questions also made it an easier purchase and Monika did not make me it feel like a chore at all. The highlight moment was when there was a hiccup with the bank when it came to processing my help-to-buy and she managed to speed the process through before the exchange date. If Monika is an example of the company’s work ethic, then they can expect me calling them again for assistance on future properties.

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.

I got lucky with sally. Couldn't have wished for better. Would highly recommend.

We had an excellent experience throughout the conveyancing process from exchange to completion. The team was professional, efficient, and kept us well informed at every stage. Communication was clear and prompt, and any questions or concerns we had were dealt with quickly and thoroughly. The entire process was handled smoothly, making what can often be a stressful experience much more manageable. We particularly appreciated the attention to detail and proactive updates, which gave us confidence that everything was progressing as expected. We would highly recommend their services to anyone buying or selling a property and would not hesitate to use them again in the future. Thank you for all your hard work and support in making the transaction a success. Mr Emmanuel Olamiyo Muwagun and Mrs Oluwaseun Funke Ola-Muwagun
