Alan Craig was fantastic!

After having an initially poor experience with Gilson Gray up until our house sale fell through, Alan Craig redeemed them with his fantastic service when we went back under offer. Alan kept us up to date every step of the way and we felt he looked after our needs the entire time. He was very professional and approachable with what turned out to be a tricky sale. Alan got the job done and we would recommend him specifically if using Gilson Gray as your conveyancing solicitors.

First class service

From the first to the final point of contact we were met with courtesy, consideration and first class communication.

The whole process was simple and straightforward.

Jodie ensured I was kept up to date throughout and ensured all communication was undertaken timeously. All other colleagues involved in the process displayed similarly high standards of professionalism.

Keep removing my reviews and il keep coming back!

Just had my review from my horrendous experience in November 2025 removed again for the second time! Apparently because I named employees, however, read through the positive reviews that name employees and low and behold they are allowed! Any excuse to remove a poor review from a very badly operated firm. Lincoln branch. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!

Excellent service

From start to finish Alana was on hand every step of the way. Emails, calls, she answered everything; all our questions and worries and made us feel at ease. Gilson Gray was recommended to us by our mortgage broker and I am so glad they did. 5 + stars for the whole team. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. Couldn't fault Alana or Gilson Gray. Thank you so much for everything. We are now in our new home and settling in well.

Alan always responded to my questions just about immediately. No matter how many, how complicated or how "stupid" they were.
Without ever actually seeing the faces of the people that worked with and for me, I felt well accompanied, always treated friendly and respectfully. Everything was explained thoroughly and my worries were listened to and dealt with.
I felt heard and seen.
Thank you so much!

first time buyers

Alan was great with me and my partner, he really put his time and effort into making sure we were kept up to date with everything, especially with any changes that happened. with being first time buyers, the information given was confusing as it was new to us both, but alan always made sure we understood with it all

Amazing! No faults

Hannah Exton was our conveyancer and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to deal with our conveyancing. Reliable and honest which is what we needed for buying our first home. Highly recommend

More communication needed

Started off very positive with updates and forms sent to me on a timely manner but as time went on and time became more pressurised and I needed answers promptly towards the final stages, I felt I was met with quite often vague responses and not all my questions answered. Completely understandable if I had, “let me find that out for you, I will get back to you as soon as possible” but quite often I had unanswered questions on emails and calls. I had to chase for updates towards the end too and often got communicated with others first and felt the last to know about some things via my solicitor. I ended up getting in contact with my buyer and seller in the chain which made things feel so much easier having the communication as I managed to give answers and get answers but there shouldn’t be a need for this. It seemed as though everyone in the chain was feeling similar from their own solicitors at other branches. My family also felt the same when they were contacted, they didn’t feel that their questions were fully answered or enquired about. I think that little bit more care of ensuring all questions are answered or found out in good time would be great and less vague reposes and need for chasing. Overall, I would use the solicitor again if I purchased a property using this solicitor at the estate agent but I would hope that I would have better communication throughout than this time around. I also was given less money back as initially indicated that I would receive and this wasn’t communicated until I contacted to raise a query with this.

5 Starts

5 Stars, this was the 2nd time using Gilson Gray, first time was buying and now selling. My first point of contact was Imogen who was great, took my details and friendly through out and provided me with a great quote. Then Alana took over the conveyancing side of things once I had accepted an offer, Alana was constantly in contact, there were a few delays due to the buyer not getting their mortgage offer quickly and then after it offered with an issue with the bank but I was always kept up to date constantly by Alana so didn't feel nervous at all

Good experice at Gilson Gray LLP

Rachel Greig who went all the way with us through out our sojourn to the property purchase was amazing. She picked her call at the first instance whenever we called. She gave us well deserved explanation both verbally and via mails when ever we asked. She was polite and ptofessional in her approach. That made.Gilson Gray LLP, stand out as compared to other solicitors we used in the past.Rachel Grieg is an asset to the company amd i will recommend Gilson Gray LLP to others.

Don’t trust them

Was recommended them through miller home. When they phoned up the woman clearly stated that because they worked closely with Miller they would be able to offer it at a discount. Well I almost proceed but on a whim went onto a conveyancing comparison site and I was given another quote by Gilson Grey but this one was £600 cheaper. These people will say anything to get your money so I wouldn’t trust them

I was initially sceptical of using an “in House“ conveyancer nominated by my estate agent but the whole experience has been extremely good,efficient and friendly. I was lucky to be linked with Alan Craig who was a professional and unflappable solicitor. I have been very impressed with Gilson Gray and should I need any conveyancing in the future I will certainly contact them. James

I have used Gilson Gray Dundee Lettings for five years and can highly recommend them. They have found excellent tenants for us and have been extremely helpful at introducing good tradesmen when required. In particular Pauline Traill has provided a first rate service.

Professional and timely dealings with Gilson Gray LLP

I was recommended to contact Gilson Gray LLP's Head of Employment (England) Steven Eckett to assist with an employment matter. I was impressed by the personal, professional and timely response that I received and throughout the process Steven kept me well informed and dealt with my queries promptly and efficiently. I received very good service throughout the process and would recommend Gilson Gray LLP
