“Lisa England is the letting agent for my new flat. She has been so helpful and responsive as I’ve been settling in I can’t imagine having a better person to work with! Thank You Lisa!”
“If you are looking for property managing services in Edinburgh and East Lothian I cannot recommend Gilson Gray highly enough. Lisa England has been managing a property I let out in Edinburgh for several years now and I can’t praise her highly enough! She is warm, friendly and has excellent communication skills. She always attentive and quick to reply. She is thoughtful and highly skilled, capable of acting on her own initiative and taking both my needs and the needs of the tenants into account at all times. If this sounds like high praise then I’ve communicated effectively – it’s meant to be!”
“From the onset Gilson Grey with Deborah Bonner has been first class. From our first meeting at the property she has been so helpful, informative and professional. The advert pictures and video tour was excellent. She attended to the viewings and all things needed to complete the sale. Highly recommended.”
Excellent and effortless
Gilson Gray made the experience of achieving vacant possession of a rental property effortless. Thank you to the team for all your support and assistance.
“This flat has been an absolute dream for me while I’ve lived in Dundee and though I’ve had problems you have been nothing but stellar and accommodating.”
PCM and Paul’s team were excellent throughout the conveyancing process. Paul was always at hand if we had any questions, and he explained the whole process very clearly, which was a great help. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul and his team.
We’re first-time buyers and “fantastic” would be an understatement for Paul Critchley who held our hands every step of the way throughout this extremely complex conveyancing process. He was always looking out for our interests. His attention to detail was impressive and he picked up on every minute detail that would matter to us as new owners and broke all complex concepts down for us in layman’s terms in conversations and also in a summary report right before we exchanged contracts. We never had any doubts about him and his quality work gave us complete peace of mind. His turnaround time was lightning fast and he was always there on the other end of the line to address our queries and concerns and he responded very quickly to our e-mails. The level of service and the quality of his work have been nothing short of outstanding and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paul’s services to anyone looking to buy/sell. We’ll definitely go through Paul again if and when we’re buying a second home.
“Fantastic and effective marketing approach. Very professional and efficient engagement overall. Highly recommended.”
