  • Morgan Place, Dundee
  • Mr & Mrs Dewar

“Our rental property needed to be completely renovated and we live too far away to take on the project ourselves. A friend recommended Gilson Gray and we never looked back. Every conceivable aspect was addressed and dealt with effectively, efficiently and stress free for us. The turnaround period was kept to an absolute minimum and quality tenants have since moved in. Gilson Gray has restored our faith in Letting Agents and has kept us informed the whole way. Their knowledge and sensitivity to the project has been exceptional.”
