New Build Conveyancing

We provide clear legal cost estimates and our billing process is always simple and clear. We set out our terms and conditions at the onset of a case with each client, all of which is made clear during our initial correspondence - giving you complete peace of mind.

On occasions, some of the more complex cases do not allow us to supply a fully fixed fee, but we do advise the hourly rate applied to a case in these circumstances.

Our offices are ideally placed for convenient access to the region – being situated in both Barnsley, South Yorkshire and Wakefield, West Yorkshire – with easy access from the M1, A1 and M62 motorway networks.

Whatever your individual requirements, we can assure you that we strive to offer a friendly, approachable and competitively priced service to all of our clients. We provide the personal touch, where you can be assured that you are not regarded as a number, but as a person. This is clearly reflected by the amount of repeat business we have from clients who have been happy with our service, many of whom have returned to us time after time for legal advice and support.

What our clients say...

D. Johnson

Could not recommend GM Wilson highly enough. The team worked hard to help sell and purchase our new home. Alison Ternent kept us fully updated and worked so professionally through the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble to help explain the process and also any questions we had. Thank you to Alison and the team!!!!

D. Johnson

B. Sheppard

Brilliant service have already recommended another person who is both buying and selling with you. Will definitely use GMWilson again.

B. Sheppard

N. Dunbar

I have to say Becki was brilliant. I asked more questions than the normal due to going through a house sale with ex-partner. Becki was extremely efficient and I was guided in the right direction the whole time. There were delays in exchanging however, this was not due to GM Wilson and we completed on time. I will be sure to recommend GM Wilson in the future and hope to use these for the future. All the best Becki.

N. Dunbar

J. Lane

Excellent professional service from start to finish. This is the 4th time we’ve used GM Wilson since 2020 and the service has been the same on each occasion.

J. Lane

M. Tsang

All staff I came into contact with were friendly and competent, all my queries were answered in a timely manner, the process was as smooth as it could be, all documents were clearly organised, overall a very impressive and efficient service.

M. Tsang

Taz

I just wanted to personally thank Rachel, Emma, Claire and the team for a professional, speedy and efficient service. This is the first time I have ever used legal services, they were highly reccomended by Forces Family Finance and I can see why. They made our first house purchase a pleasure. If you ever require legal services not just for house purchasing then look no further. Couldn’t reccomend enough. ThankYou.

Taz

M. Pointon

We used GM Wilson for a new build purchase which took around 9 months to complete. Whenever we needed them they answered an questions and made the process as seamless and hassle free as possible for us. Compared with previous conveyancing experiences this was by far the best. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. A special mention to Lucy who handled our purchase and was attentive throughout.

M. Pointon

B. Naylor

GM Wilson looked after the legal proceedings to purchasing our first house. We wasn’t sure of the process with us being first time buyers but Sarah Binks explained and kept us informed every step of the way and made it as simple as possible. Great service and highly recommend.

B. Naylor

A. Barnes

I received excellent service from Francesca and the team. I had an issue regarding the completion of my sale as the timing of this delayed progress in my purchase, but Francesca liaised with the vendor to ensure my purchase remained on track. She and the team responded very swiftly and clearly to any queries. In addition to being efficient and giving sound advice, the team were very friendly and approachable, and I have no hesitation in recommending them. I would certainly use GM Wilson again for any future property purchases.

A. Barnes

M. Calderon

Great service on a not so straight forward transaction. James Marris was handling our case with the help of Becki and Rachel. Our transaction was rather complicated and the other party were not well prepared. James and co were experienced, diligent, and kept us well informed. This is the second time we have use GM Wilson and we couldn’t recommend them enough.

M. Calderon

S. Radu

Great Service by Rachel Hirst and Carol Muir

S. Radu

Rachel and the team were always extremely professional, helpful and friendly. They took the time to listen to any questions and explain things clearly and concisely. They made the whole process of buying a property a lot less stressful.

M. Perkin

A. Ramsbottom

We just wanted to say thank you so much to Nicola Ward for all her help in getting us into our beautiful new home. It wasn’t the easiest but we did it!

Thank you for all your time answering all our calls and emails.

A. Ramsbottom

S. Whitfield

Great firm and team, but could do with simplifying the legal talk for non legal people I found my self lost with the terminology (solicitor talk makes sense to them but not common folk like me) would of been nice to talk it through using simpler terminology that we can under stand, but apart from that, great service, got the job done as quickly as they could.

S. Whitfield

M. Cutforth

Fantastic experience using G M Wilson to sell, and then buy our new home. The team were great, and extremely helpful, especially Lucy. Nothing was too much trouble and no question went unanswered. Every call was answered or my call returned immediately which from experience is rare for some solicitors we have used in the past. Would highly recommend!

M. Cutforth

Thank you so much for your help throughout the process. Your efficiency and advice was greatly appreciated and I’m really happy with the flat now I’ve got the keys!

L. Elliston

R. Knight

After a lack of communication between everybody at the start of the purchase , Steven helped me massively with the buying process, he made sure everything was absolutely perfect before completion and was very helpful with any questions I had. He made me feel confident in the sale and I appreciate all the hard work he put into this.

R. Knight

J. MacKay

Painless from start to finish.

J. MacKay

S. Walton

I would highly recommend Rachel and her team. I was treated with kindness and respect at all times. Rachel explained each stage and I was fully informed and guided by her throughout. This made a stressful time less so for me all was good.

S. Walton

P and A Bland

From start to finish we have had excellent service from all at GM Wilson , especially from Carol Muir, who has gone above and beyond with our difficult sale. Nothing has been too much trouble and we have appreciated her support throughout. Thank you!

P and A Bland

D. Parsons

The whole team at GM Wilson who have been involved in the sale of our previous home, purchase of our new build, and the part exchange scheme, have been excellent. Particularly Lucy Standhaven and Saskia Bex, as well as Nicola Ward, who have answered numerous phone calls and chased our buyers’ useless solicitor into oblivion, in order to get to completion. The receptionists are the most efficient and helpful receptionists we have come across. We do not want to move – ever again – but if we do, or have other legal needs, we will definitely be using GM Wilson, and have already recommended them to a family member moving house.

D. Parsons

S. Harrison

Thanks for making everything so easy and seamless, cheers!

S. Harrison

A. Kane and V. Edwards

Lucy Standhaven was a constant support, she always replied to queries very quickly and would tell us if there was no update rather than not answering emails and messages. Lucy was outstanding throughout. Nicola provided invaluable advice on some difficult issues on a purchase we decided not to pursue prior to this purchase.

A. Kane and V. Edwards

M. Savanhu

Lucy Standhaven and team has been outstanding in supporting us with the processes involved in buying our house. We received updated communication from day one. GM Wilson made our journey easy to travel. Thank you all at GM Wilson.

M. Savanhu

C. Nicoll

Really pleased with everything done for us regarding our house sale, special thanks to Becki Reynolds for her help and patience, would definitely recommend.

C. Nicoll

L. Hanson

The company came recommended by a friend when we were looking for a reliable solicitor to assist us with our right to buy purchase. Our solicitor and assistant kept us fully informed throughout the process, assisted us in filling in the paper work, and made the whole processes stress free. Things were completed in a timely manner, the costs were very competitive. A* for customer service and experience!

L. Hanson

J. Townend

Really appreciate the effort and work put into our house sale. Took longer than expected but was not down to any fault of our side. Kept informed and updated along the way. Great Legal advice and service provided. We will definitely re-instruct with any future house sales.

J. Townend

P. Lamb

Francesca was extremely professional and this was by far the easiest house move we’ve had thanks to her. Good communication and no stress having to chase daily like previous experiences with other firms. Keep up the good work!

P. Lamb

R. Lambert

Francesca was brilliant and made me feel confident that everything was as it should be. Communication and helpfulness was above and beyond. Lisa Skelding was also great doing the exchange and completion.

R. Lambert

C. Headlam

Overall the process was way easier than I thought it would be. The staff were great and as a first time buyer I was nervous and apprehensive about the “legal” side of it. I was in good hands the whole way and I’m glad I choose GM Wilson.

C. Headlam

J. Hurt

The service provided by GM Wilson has been very thorough. It was easy to contact both Sarah and Ben, email and telephone queries were dealt with promptly. Front office very welcoming to visitors.

J. Hurt

Becki was brilliant, excellent communication and highly professional.

A. Nayyar

Great service, always answered our questions when we had them and made sure to come back and contact us if there was ever any point when they couldn’t take a call.

G. Pickering

P. Sykes

Can’t thank rachel and the team enough, they’ve all been fantastic! It’s taken 7 weeks from me purchasing a property to receiving my keys. If I had any concerns or worries they listened, and they kept me updated throughout the process. Thank you again to all the team. Would highly recommended.

P. Sykes

T. Farrimond

I would like to say a huge thank you to Lisa and Laura for their patience and understanding and also they met the targets to the date. I can’t thank them enough, an extremely stressful process made that bit more bearable having Lisa and Laura to guide me through. Thank you again, highly recommend 🙂

T. Farrimond

C. Bell

The service we received was excellent. We dealt with Lucy and when we had a query she was so quick coming back to us, really friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend GM Wilson, they are by far the best solicitor I have dealt with. It’s nice to be able to contact a company that offers such a friendly and helpful service and listens to their customers.

C. Bell

F. Shuker-Bott

A remarkable and very satisfactory service. Customer liaison excellent, a conveyancing law firm that gets the job done both fast and thorough. I would highly recommend.

F. Shuker-Bott

R. Bee

Fantastic service. I was a first time buyer and put under significant pressure from the seller to complete to an unrealistic deadline. GM Wilson made a stressful situation, stress-free and had everything in order for me to complete within a matter of days.

R. Bee

J. M Roberts

I dealt with Sarah Binks who was excellent and easy to speak to. When she was not available I dealt with Ben who was equally knowledgeable about my case. Well done to both. They deserve my thanks
