Handling of House Purchase

4

The approach and professionalism of the team were second to none. We were kept informed at each turn of our purchased journey.

The teams communication was on point and at no time were we left pondering any decisions that had to be made. The transition of all of the purchasing administration paperwork between parties was seamless and extremely easy to follow. Very approachable and easy to contact when we had a question / query and or simply to be assured.

Great service and communication from the beginning. My property ended up not being an easy sale and took over 18 months. But throughout the process Jess was approachable and easy to contact.

Sale and purchase

They remained professional and timely throughout, despite the momentarily tumultuous aspect of the final exchange and completion from the other solicitors, they kept me updated throughout and were always willing to answer any questions I had in an equally timely fashion. I’d strongly recommend Sills to anyone. Also an additional thank you to Karla for handling the final stages on a hectic completion day.

Jess Barnes of Sills and Betteridge Lincoln has recently dealt with the sale and purchase of two properties for us. We have sold and bought quite a few properties over the years with various solicitors and Jess was undoubtedly the most efficient conveyancer and prompt and effective communicator we have dealt with throughout that time.Thank you Jess.

The BEST solicitors in Lincoln. We chose to go with sills for our onward purchase of our house after a recommendation and we can’t fault them one bit. Their communication was impeccable, always able to get hold of straight away, worked through everything straight away, replied to emails in minutes, sent everything out in post instantly, honestly the best solicitors. We unfortunately used another solicitors through our estate agent for the sale of our property and wish we hadn’t as their communication was awful & would’ve been much smoother had we used sills for our sale. We will always use them for any future house sales/solicitor needs. Thank you Jess and Karla so much!

I would highly recommend anyone needing a solicitor to use Sills and Betteridge. Robert was brilliant and towards the end so was Jess. They communicated very well and helped me when i wasn't sure about anything. I was ill throughout my dealing with them and they were very supportive. Definitely recommend.
