First time buyer

Very helpful with my process in purchasing my first home. Overall happy with the service I received, as Douglas took ownership after the previous lawyer I was assigned left the company.

Very bad experience

I was extremely disappointed and shocked with the service received from Gilson Gray when trying to buy a property in Fife.
The lack of care they gave was unacceptable and there was a disrespect to us as their client.
You couldn’t get an answer to an email at a responsible timeframe unless you phoned up. Our lawyer always had his answer machine on so couldn’t ever get through to them.
There was no safeguarding for us as a client.
I would stay clear of this company if you are looking to be treated with respect by a lawyer and actually cares for their clients.

Gilson Gray assisted me with the sale of my flat and purchase of my house, and I would thoroughly recommend their services. From the outset, Arran Lovell supported me with a valuation and getting my flat on the market, and this support continued through until we accepted an offer. Karen McMillan was hugely helpful and provided great guidance throughout the sale as we overcame some hurdles. Cheryl Edgar then professionally progressed the conveyancing for both the sale and purchase and communicated with us throughout. I would definitely use Gilson Gray again.

A client

I purchased a property from my landlord in April 2025 and Gilson Gray oversaw the sale. While it was a relatively low maintenance sale, they still made the process very straightforward and, crucially, I found them easy to reach and engage with, which isn't always the case with solicitors! As someone from England navigating the Scottish house purchasing process, I was grateful for their walking through with me what was required. As in Scotland you need a solicitor early on in the house purchasing process, I'd recommend reaching out to them if you're starting afresh.
