Good friendly service. Made understandable as the will was more complex.
Cost was reasonable compared to some.
I was able to phone with any queries anytime and received a prompt response.

Sale of a bungalow.

The whole process of selling the bungalow was managed efficiently with the minimum of fuss and good advice throughout. Alan or a member of his team were always available to answer any questions that I had and promptly dealt with any communications. Very happy with the service and would certainly recommend and use the service again.

A professional service.

The company previously dealt with my mother's estate which was rather complicated, so I was happy to return to the company to deal with my Will and Lasting Power of Attorney.

Alan and his team at Sills & Betteridge Gainsborough were patient, informative and diligent with a particularly difficult sale and purchase. Despite various challenges that nearly derailed the process, they consistently worked hard and were communicative the entire time to get us over the finish line.

Above and beyond service, will use again in the future.

I would highly recommend Sills & Betteridge. I went to see Sarah Rowe to deal with a family mater and I would highly recommend Sarah. Sarah listened and put my mind at ease and help me with what I needed to do.

I would like to rate sills & betteridge 4 stars, they have been very helpful throughout my case. If anyone ever needs help regarding family law or with children's services, I highly recommend chrystal theofanus & Sarah Rowe & their whole team. They are fantastic at what they do. Also, a piece of advice to anybody who gets told that nothing will change, do not let that stop you. The juice was worth the squeeze. Thank you to all of you I deeply appreciate your work, time and efforts.
