Both Trevor and Heather were fantastic

Both Trevor and Heather were fantastic. They answered the phone whenever I called and replied to emails promptly. They kept me well informed and were just lovely to deal with. Would certainly recommend and use again.

I can't praise Lisa and her team at Gilson Gray enough.

I can't praise enough the service, support and advice I have received from Lisa, Operations Manager and her team at Gilson Gray in the purchase of our new home.Lisa and her team kept in contact throughout the purchase. The exchange and completion (same day) ran smoothly and we was able to pick up the keys to our new property by 12:00 (noon). I highly recommend.

Gilson Gray Review (Lisa Jackson)

Lisa Jackson dealt with the sale of our property and with our two purchases concurrently. Lisa was approachable and friendly and always available via phone/email to answer any queries and guide us through each step of the process. Lisa’s professionalism throughout the process was impeccable, ensuring that each step of the process was met in a thorough and timely manner, following up with other parties involved when they were causing any delays as well as keeping us informed every step of the way. Lisa went above and beyond to ensure that the sale and purchases were dealt with promptly which in total was only 8 weeks from accepting the offer on our property/having offers accepted on two properties, to moving in. Would highly recommend Lisa and Gilson Gray.

incredible service!!

Sarah Wass and Hollie Sambrook were outstanding when we recently purchased our first home. We barely ever felt the need to contact them because they were constantly in contact with us, keeping us updated and reassuring us as to the next steps in the process. Despite being first time buyers, they seemed to answer any and all questions we had before we knew to ask them! If I could give them more than 5 stars then I most definitely would! 10/10 service. I would strongly recommend this team to all my friends and family! Thank you for everything Sarah, Hollie and the rest of Gilson Gray in Lincoln!

Happy to recommend Gilson Gray

Having used home Property Lawyers successfully on a previous property I engaged them to deal with them for my Mother's property. The company became part of the Gilson Gray Group, however the transition was fairly smooth and didn't affect the sale of the property.Heather dealt with the case very professionally and was always on hand to answer any questions. The sale went through eventually, after a few delays on the buyers solicitors part.I'm happy to recommend Gilson Gray.

Thorough, Professional, Great Communication

Since 2019, we have used the Lincoln based law firm for the conveyancing of our current and past four properties (we backed out of two part-way) and have to say Sally McBride and her assistants provided an exceptional service. We specifically asked if Sally could be our conveyancer following a more than satisfactory experience the first time around and gratefully, Sally was there for the subsequent properties until we finally settled. Sally has been Polite, Patient and Professional. Sally also kept us informed, was good humoured and the quality and quantity of the local searches and enquiries ensured no stone was left unturned.TOP MARKS!

110% recommend!

Our experience with Gary at Gilsons was fantastic. All Queries were answered almost straight away and he kept on top of everything for us, which ensured a stress free and pleasant moving. Gary assisted us in all ways he could and certainly went above and beyond, even outside of work hours he would provide a quick response. Thankyou very much Gilson Grey! 100% recommend (they were also the cheapest which I cant believe, especially with the awful reviews other more expensive solicitors had)

I changed the solicitors for home…

I changed the solicitors for home property lawyers. in October . Because they got a good review. I needed to finish the deed of variation on my sale . But what I didn't know is that they  will be Gilson Gray . Since the company took over my case,and a woman called May left . They dont answer simple questions about how long it takes and what is left to do. When I gave it to the company I told them to ask everything from the old solicitor. It was in october. Of course I wrote this dawn in an email  I just got a letter. I need my permission to get everything from my lawyer and it cost 100 pounds + vat In February ????? 4 month later the old solicitor papers are still not with them ? They do not communicate with me . I called them up but the woman dealing with my case was not available. I asked the woman I was talking to to send me an email about what is going on. I don't get anything . The women said they dealt with enquiries which my buyer solicitor asked. What was left to do with my knowledge was that nothing else left just the deed of variation . Do not go with them if possible . My house has been selling for over a year. with them since october but they not communicate with me at all. Not talking about i dealing with the 5 th person if not the sixth one in 5 month. they changing my solicitor every 3 weeks.

Simply outstanding!

Where do I begin. From the outset of my purchase process both Sarah Wass and Hollie Sambrook exceeded all expectations I had. They were always prompt to respond to any queries and demonstrated professionalism, and expertise from start to finish. I knew I could rely on them to get the job done as they actively chased for updates from the other parties involved to keep me informed and my mind at ease. I am on my way to collect the keys now and owe this pair all the thanks in the world! THANK YOU Sarah, Hollie and everyone else at Gilson Gray England who had a part in this process!

We used Gilson Gray as our solicitor…

We used Gilson Gray as our solicitor for the purchase of our new home. The service was appalling and it was the most stressful experience we’ve ever had. From start to finish we dealt with 9 different individuals. There was absolutely no continuity and differing information dependent on which individual you spoke to. After months and months of stress caused by Gilson Gray we were informed we were due to get the keys for our new home on 9/12/22. I sent all documentation required on 30/11/22 via email and recorded delivery. On 7/12/22 we were invoiced the total remainder of our deposit which we paid. Around 15 minutes later we were contacted saying they had not received documentation required and lender would not release funds for our mortgage for at least 5 working days meaning we could not collect our keys. This was completely unacceptable and caused us no end of stress as we had taken time off work to beable to collect our keys. Thankfully our independent mortgage worked to get everything in line to get our keys. On the 8/12/22 we were informed they required more paperwork, my partner had to leave work and rush home to sign off paperwork required to submit in time. We were then informed everything was completed and we could collect our keys the next day. On the 9/12/22 the day of our key collection we were then contacted and told we had to sign yet another form and had to do it or we wouldn’t receive our keys. We then went and signed the form and again were told that everything was in line. Around 15 minutes later we had a phone call stating Gilson Gray had invoiced us incorrectly and we owed a further £3000. This caused no end of stress and tears. I would definitely not recommend Gilson Gray to anyone, it was the worst experience we’ve ever had and really tainted the purchase of our first home.

We are currently at the top of a chain…

We are currently at the top of a chain of four and a sale was agreed back in aug/sept. All of the top three solicitors are on top of their game and it is Gilson Gray that are currently holding up everyone’s sale. A search was requested back in October 22 and apparently only just managed to sort Jan 23. No matter how many times the 2nd buyers’ solicitor sends answers with Gilson Gray’s requests they come back with the same questions. DO YOU NOT READ YOUR EMAILS GILSON GRAY. Totally incompetent, do not use

Very disappointed with the service. Unanswered e-mails and zero guidance on how to proceed with a home purchase resulting in me missing the purchase opportunity. I wasn't looking for a mailbox but for advice and support on how to purchase a property.

A shockingly bad service... I wouldn't even call them solicitors... I'd call this business a mess... if i could I'd give them minus 5 stars... nothing but trouble from the get go... ZERO communication esp from their paralegal ELLE M. I swear I'd get a hold of the pope before I'd get a hold of her!!!! She NEVER picks up, they keep asking for more and more paperwork every couple of wks... im now about to get the keys next wk and after chasing elle m for nearly 2wks, i had been sent paperwork today that wont be here till at least Monday, they want everything now within 5 working days so the paperwork can be done, and when i asked how is it i couldn't get a hold of her by email or phone (called her direct number and the office number where they kept transferring me to her and it kept going to vm) she was apparently on holiday... yeah right!!!! You go on holiday, dont leave an out of the office message on emails and nobody in the office knows you're on holiday... right... and im a snow white!!!! If my details werent passed to them by tge financial advisor and had i known any better, id find myself somebody else cos they are a joke and obviously dont give a damn cos they don't even answer bad reviews unless it's from landlords or potential long term tenants... figures...

Absolutely awful company

Absolutely awful company. Never answer emails or return phone calls. Was supposed to complete next weekend now October but no fixed date yet. ! How is a first time buyer supposed to give notice to landlord to move out and arrange removals. Absolutely no care in the world ot give a good service.

No accountability

Gilson Gray are amateur at best, chasing their tails and unbelievably unorganised. It does not surprise me that people have complained about them. Due to their incompetence, delays in moving dates occurred costing me thousand in extra charges. They just didn't care when I complained.
