I’ve had the pleasure of using Douglas Hardwick from Gilson Gray to assist in both the purchase and sale of a property. In both instances it has been a wonderful experience. I was kept informed to where the process was and any questions I had were always answered promptly. I highly recommend Douglas and the team for all conveyancing needs!

Easy and Convenient
This review is for a different branch.
We had a great service from Douglas. He took the time to explain the process of buying (and making offers on) a property in Scotland, moving from England meant that the process was very different to what we have previously experienced. The process was really simple and Douglas was easy to get hold of with any questions we had.

I was so lucky to find Deborah Bonner and Gilson Gray. Deborah was both professional and empathetic right from the beginning, always responded quickly, and was there to give me advice whenever I needed it. She gave me peace of mind at every stage, and I’ve already recommended her to my friends.

Absolutely shocking service for me as a first time buyer. Would never recommend to anyone, waste of time and money. Communication is shocking to the point I had to make multiple trips to Lincoln which is an 1 hour and 30 minutes away from me just to speak to someone. Even after going into their office they couldn't provide me with any useful information because my conveyancer works from home and they can’t get through to her which was no shock to me. I could never get through to my conveyancer and she took ages to reply to emails. I started the process in September 2024 and wish I never chose this firm because of the stress it caused me. The last communication I have had with them was in February this year, which is 4 MONTHS AGO. Since then that house has fallen through and I still haven't heard anything back from them. I emailed this morning to say I don't want to go ahead anymore seen as though the conveyancer is not bothered to chase it up anyway.
Anyway I'm glad I chose another firm called Conquest Law for the second house. I started the new process on 14th April and got my Keys on the 1st July. I would rate Gilson Gray 0 stars if I could because I do not appreciate the stress I went through with them.

Sharan guided me through my child arrangement and financial remedy over 12 months with reassuring expertise, smart legal strategy and kindness. She respected and understood my goals from the start and worked hard to help me achieve them. Divorce and family separation is by far one of the worst experiences a person can go through. Having a lawyer as good as Sharan by your side provides great comfort in a dark time. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone else going through a similarly challenging situation.
