Do Not Use For Leasehold Sales!

Hugely underwhelming service from Gilson-Grey. 8½ months to complete a private, chain-free sale.
The same question kept being asked of the seller's solicitor without any explanation of why their response was unsatisfactory.
Never reachable by phone. Had to chase through every step of the process, and if I hadn't, I don't believe we would have completed by now.
Complaints not listened to.
Cashback from the mortgage company not forwarded on to us (still chasing).
I felt "stuck" with Gilson-Grey. Had it been any other service, I would have cancelled long before the job was complete.

Alana went above and beyond when dealing with our house sale. Despite a few issues out with her control she consistently went the extra mile to ensure we were looked after and everything was resolved quickly. Lynsey & John.

Gilson Grey were a fantastic firm to work with on purchasing a new property. I have to give full credit to Rebecca who handled my case. It was not an easy transaction, with many delays due to titles deeds. Rebecca reassured me through out and kept in constant contact, providing regular updates. She is simply amazing. I would highly recommend them for any property dealings and they would be my preferred law firm of choice for any legal matters in the future.

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.
