Always looked after my best interests

A recent failed sale and purchaser of a complex leasehold to a freehold property with an equity release transfer was handled well and promptly.

The sale fell through but my losses were mitigated for which I was most grateful

Thanks you Steven and Sam

Ongoing Client - Very Happy with Conveyancing

5

I've used Sills & Betteridge (Steven Dowse is my ongoing contact and appointed solicitor) for a number of conveyancing enquiries.

I've found Steven to be exceptionally diligent, accommodating and always willing to provide advice for best next steps forwards.

I find that I am kept in the loop far better than other solicitors I have used, including "Specialist" conveyancing firms. I am also confident that work is progressing at a good pace, so in I don't actually have to chase to find out the progress!

As mentioned above work has been completed to an exceptional quality, with relevant advice and explanation provided at each step of the process, even for more complex matters, and I am overall a very happy client for Sills & Betteridge and will continue to use Steven Dowse for ongoing matters.

Thanks
