Avoid at all costs. Terrible Comms (virtually non existent) and requires more effort for you to chase every day and still not get any responses. Took a while for the purchase to go through and got asked to review their services - so here it is. Also paid for a service which I never even got the documentation for (indemnity policy documentation) - still chasing to this day 1 month after completion and I've had 0 responses. Use this solicitor firm at your own risk.

Gilson Gray have handled a number of legal matters for me over the last 3-4 years. I have always found them to be very friendly and efficient in the way they conduct their business

I recently put my father's old house up for sale through GG and everything was very efficient from the beginning and the video and photographs for the marketing were above my expectations and very attractive. The first offers were in and one excepted within a fortnight so very satisfactory performance.

I have dealt with Gilson Gray several times in the last couple of years, and I’m always delighted with the service, the price achieved, and the professionalism of the staff I deal with. In particular, Jodie and Nikki deserve a special mention along with Michael Devlin. Well done. And thanks so much. Billy

Professional, fantastic service and support from day one to the sale of the property. We had no idea where to start and the Gilson Gray team took over and kept us informed and up to date every step of the way. Our property went under offer after just 3 weeks on the market and we are so happy to have worked with such a lovely professional team. Thanks to Ben and everyone involved throughout the process.

I can't understate how terrible they are. They ended up charging me over double what was initially quoted, never respond to emails, occasionally will answer the phone, will go missing for weeks with no one covering and then to top it off failed to register my lease with the management company leaving me out several hundred pounds I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than deal with this company ever again

Gilson Gray exceeded our expectations with their service. Friendly, professional and kept us informed each step of the process of putting our house up for sale. The communication carried on through viewing, offers notes of interest etc. I would highly recommend GG for stress free selling of a property . Thank you to Kelly & Karen for their excellent customer service.

Holding up our house sale for months due to inaction over a simple task. Refuse to answer phone, respond to emails and the complaints process is an exercise in futility. Avoid as all costs

I am very pleased with the Gilson Gray organisation in their handling of the process that is in place to secure the sale of the house i have on the market.Although i believe property sale at times can have its complexities,i am encouraged by their staff communication and expertise to see it through. The profile of my property that the organisation has presented to the market is first class and very professional. I thank the staff for their endeavours that will see this sale through.

Outstanding high quality service provided by Gilson Gray Estate Agency Team in Dundee. From our initial meeting with Morgan to value our home we were immediately impressed by his extensive in depth knowledge re the current market. He provided us with valuable, detailed information, listened to our concerns and reassured us we should obtain a positive sale. He provided a very personal approach and kept us informed every step of the way promptly and efficiently. His effort and dedication in obtaining the very best offer for our property was exemplary and we are delighted with the figure achieved. Morgan went above and beyond to exceed our expectations and we can’t thank him enough. Also thanks to Andrew for the fantastic photographs of our house . Exceptional service throughout, we highly recommend this Company. We must add this amazing offer was made on the first day of viewing! Many, many thanks

If I could give 0 stars I would. Contracted with Gilson Gray in Edinburgh to act as agent for selling my home. The whole experience has been dreadful from start to finish and in the end I changed agents. Absolutely awful (non-existent) communication, utterly shambolic and terrible service which has undoubtedly cost me the sale of my house, the impact of which they clearly could not care less about, I am absolutely disgusted with what can only be described as a combination of apathy and incompetence. I raised a complaint in June and have only just received a (poor) response after prompting, which is not at all in line with their 'complaints' policy. There are many choices out there for estate agents, do not use this one! No doubt this review (and the one on Trustpilot which current ranks this company with a 1.9 out of 5) will get the stock response that all the other bad reviews are getting, massive indicator that these issues are not taken seriously at all.

terrible - overpriced, not trasparent, lack of attention to detail and now a wrangle over the utterly over the top fees - careful , a 2 line email will cost you £50 and a phone conversation could come in at a whopping £250 plus vat.

We have used Gilson Gray on two occasions to purchase houses, receiving exemplary service on both occasions. The terms of engagement were fully explained at the start of the process and, once agreed, aspects such as arranging surveyors for a Home Report and photographers for the preparation of the Schedule were taken forward without delay. From initial discussion to website marketing/ advertising took exactly one week. Our more recent house purchase was overseen by Karen and, to a lesser extent, by Megan and we were kept fully informed throughout. The Gilson Gray viewing bookings app kept us exceptionally well informed of upcoming viewings and provided feedback/comment from individuals who had viewed the property. Karen was thoroughly professional throughout, communicated with us on a daily basis, offering expert advice and guidance as appropriate. We have no hesitation in recommending Gilson Gray to those about to sell and/or purchase a house. The quality of service we received was second to none. Jim and Maureen Donaldson

Phone wasn't answered on given number. Rang 10.20 and 3.20, eventually tried another number from website. Answered by female approx 3.20 on 1/10/24. Passed to another female with no explanation from either. I expect to be treated as a human being not a thing.

Recently, we upgraded to a new telephone system to further enhance our client experience. Unfortunately, there were some initial teething problems, which made it difficult for clients to reach their dedicated conveyancer. We deeply regret any inconvenience this may have caused.

If I could give them 0 I would. Absolutely useless. No care for their clients whatsoever, I had to do all the work myself and then pay them for the privilege. Wrong names and addresses on important documents. Ignored any queries I made to the point where I had to draw up numerous bullet points highlighting the amount of times I had contacted them regarding specific queries and that they simply ignored. Unprofessional, made buying a property an incredibly upsetting and stressful procedure.

Awful - Don't use these if you want any actual communication or updates on what is happening. No urgency, no care, not bothered if the chain is about to fall apart. and they charge a daylight robbery fee (sorry thats called a file opening fee) of £400 for absolutely no additional work
