Unless

Unless, spent weeks with no contact, I then contacted myself finally to see how things going to get a reply 'I no longer work for this firm' I ring up and ask what's going on, they decide to drop my case because I cannot sit down with my ex partner to complete forms out together. If you are going through a divorce or break up do not use this company. I informed them the situation from the start for them to eventually say they won't take my case any longer after stringing us along

DON'T DO IT

I only gave them 1 star because it won't let me give 0. Where to begin...Communication = ZEROCompetency = ZEROAccountability = ZEROIf you know what's good for you, you won't waste your time or money. I lost 4 weeks because they just couldn't be arsed to do any work. I fired them ASAPtually.

Stay clear of this solicitors you will end up doing all the work for them, they don’t get back to you with anything that you ask them, they don’t answer there phones, 8 months and passed on to 3 solicitors with the firm, no communication between people whatsoever. So still not moved to my new home 😡

DREADFUL - AVOID !!!!!!!

DREADFUL - AVOID!!!Honestly, I wish we had looked at the reviews before agreeing to instruct Gilson Gray for our property purchase. You don't get a response via e-mail, whenever you call you can't get through to your file handler (who is either on annual leave or off sick), when you speak to one of the MANY number of assistants you get told something different each time and, beyond frustratingly, you will send documents in that are requested - only for them to request the same documents weeks later and then again, weeks later (check your emails and save things to your case management system!!!!!). We put an offer on a property in March and there is still no end in sight using these incompetent 'solicitors'.Weeks before writing this review, we had made a complaint and our file was 'escalated' by management. We still haven't had an update (despite calling AGAIN) and our file handler is off AGAIN. Other parties in the chain have also mentioned how poor our solicitors are as they are holding everyone else up. Even our estate agents can't get a response from the file handler, it's absolutely abysmal.FYI reviews like this could be avoided by simply COMMUNICATING with clients.

I would not recommended using Gilson Gray, i think they have way to much work as it seemed quite challenging to speak to anyone dealing with our house sale, when we could we jumped at the chance of using somewhere else for the purchase of our property.

Do not use Gilson Gray for your conveyancing. Their customer service is diabolical. They take weeks to acknowledge emails and do not respond to calls, they don't even respond when you escalate and complain.AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. Buying and selling houses is a stressful enough time without terrible services such as this.

Communication is awful

Communication is awful. Trying to purchase a property and have no idea on a completion date as no one calls me back. Emails take more than a week for a response and even then not all questions are answered.

Communication was awful

Communication was awful from the beginning of buying our house, admin did not respond to emails or phone calls efficiently and it seemed to go to different people every time who did not work on our case. Once we were assigned a solicitor she did not answer our calls except maybe once a week after a while; we had to continually phone and leave messages and never knew when the call would be answered. When we were ready to complete the solicitor did not request the funds to be released in time so we had to delay until a more inconvenient time. I do not recommend this company if you want a smooth and easy process with clear communication. I have given 2 stars as Lucy who took over to finish completing the purchase phoned us twice in one day to keep us informed and got it done efficiently.

GILSON GRAY Absolutely Atrocious. AVOID

Absolutely atrocious in all forms. GILSON GRAY!!!!!!!! We are now 3 weeks over our completion date and still, the solicitors have zero rush, zero interest and zero ability to execute a simple task. I will widely tell people of my buyers and own experience should the completion not be completed by the end of the week. I’ve dealt with bad solicitors in my time, but nothing like this. If you want a truly bad experience, sleepless nights, being ignored, missed deadlines and zero customer service then yes, use these. Solicitor in charge - initials are RJ.

I tried to sell my place,To due mixture of reason including delay in communicating with the purchaser solicitors by GILSON GRAY has contributed to the collapse of the deal.I asked for a small discount for in their fees,which never materialised.They took me to court as there was a few delays in responding to their credit control email and I am have to pay £1250.00.I called their debt management department 4 weeks ago and proposed a counter offer,he said he will call in 2 days,never called and I called him on 8.06.2024 and he said that he forgot all about this case.I wanted to clear the original balance as it is not in my DNA to not to pay if someone has done work,I tried all I can to come to a middleground so both the parties agree to a amicable figure,but unfortunately they have been very ruthless,and very unprofessional

Everyone involved with the sale of my house has been first class. Communication has been clear and helpful, the app showing the growing numbers of viewing appointments has been addictive and Karen especially has been a tower of strength, keeping me up to date with any developments immediately and providing support during stressful moments. I would highly recommend the Property Sales team.

Avoid if you want proper communication. You are unable to get hold of who you need to on the phone. They never ring you back, don’t do their job and leave you stressed and delays in house purchases. Spoke to Olivia once on the phone and that was on completion day despite our multiple phone calls and no ring back. Shocking company
