Solicitor Services

Alan gave me consistsnt, clear updates and was very responsive when I had questions. They were friendly and understood that due to work I would not be able to reply for periods of time but was clear about everything he needed from me when it was required. For a first time buyer, everything went very smoothly.

Absolutely awful service

Absolutely awful service. Rarely keep promises to contact. Straightforward sale with no chain still ongoing after 15weeks with little to no update. Wish I’d not used them. So stressful and causing me huge stress I don’t need atm.

5 stars plus for Gilson Gray

I have been greatly impressed with the help and professionalism of Gilson Gray. In particular Abbie, Alison and especially Nicola in the North Berwick office for keeping us well informed and regularly updated on proceedings. I would not hesitate to recommend Gilson Gray to others.

Amazing service from Gilson Gray

Amazing service from Gilson Gray. I recently purchased my first property and Kirsty McNally offered extremely professional and outstanding service throughout the process. Kirsty kept me updated with all communications and ensured the transaction went as smoothly as possible. Would highly recommend their services to all, and a special thanks to Kirsty for all the support!

Rachel was amazingly supportive throughout, nothing was too much trouble. Any questions we had ( & we had a few, maybe daft ones too) were answered in a way we understood. Although extremely professional, Rachel was personable too! 5 stars x

Premium cost - budget service

I had a very poor experience with Gilson Gray during my recent property purchase.

Communication was consistently reactive rather than proactive. I was usually left chasing for updates, and when responses did come, they were often vague and lacking detail. At times, weeks went by with no meaningful progress or explanation of what was happening.

More concerning were issues with accuracy and case handling. I was told enquiries had been raised with the seller’s solicitor when they had not actually been sent, and when they finally were, they included multiple errors that did not relate to the property (for example, the wrong build date and requests for non-existent features). This caused unnecessary delays and undermined my confidence in the process.

There was also a key issue around gifted equity versus gifted deposit that caused delays, which I was never informed about directly. I only found out through the seller. I received little to no advice or communication on this, despite its importance.

I raised a formal complaint and later followed up with further evidence, but did not receive any response to my second email.

Overall, the lack of communication, attention to detail, and ownership of the case caused significant stress and put the transaction at risk.

I read the reviews here beforehand, but I didn't acknowledge them as wrote them off as overly-disgruntled customers. Unfortunately this wasn't the case.

I would encourage others to shop around, take notice of poor reviews and trust your gut - if the service feels cold and disconnected in the first interaction, it's probably going to stay that way.

Very good experience from start to finish.

Very good experience from start to finish selling my property. Alana kept us informed at every stage and communicated all relevant and necessary information and answered any questions. From my side of things, I had all the initial and necessary questions that I would need to answer, from there things went smoothly and without any unnecessary delays. I believe this is down to the efficient work being done by Alana and her firm.

Gilson Gray LLP

Gilson Gray LLP, completed conveyancing on our property sale. I found them highly responsive and efficient. All communication was polite, comprehensively keeping us abreast of progress. Our primary contact was Alan Craig who did a sterling job, however all the individual's we communicated with at Gilson Gray were equally helpful and effective. Highly recommended for a fuss free sale.

Excellent Service and Smooth House Purchase Experience

I had a very positive experience working with Caitlin Fraser during my house purchase(Plot 130 Boclair Mews Bishopbriggs). She handled the entire process with professionalism, efficiency, and great attention to detail, ensuring everything progressed smoothly from start to finish.

Caitlin was always approachable, responsive, and clear in her communication, which made the process much less stressful. She kept me well-informed at every stage and was proactive in addressing any queries or concerns.

I would highly recommend Caitlin Fraser to anyone looking for a reliable and competent solicitor. Her support and expertise made a significant difference in making the purchase experience seamless and straightforward.
