Truly Exceptional Service

This was the third time our family have used Sills and Betteridge for conveyancing (two sales, one purchase). On all these occasions the service has been truly exceptional. Of particular note is their responsiveness and timely communication. The sale of our son's leasehold flat in London had a number of challenges and the advice and support provided by Ed Sharpe and his team was absolutely first class.

Very supportive

Lisa was very supportive throughout my divorce from an abusive husband. Her and her team kept me informed of developments and informed me of my rights and what was a sensible offer or not!

Louise, gave me a first class service. From start to finish. I got to know her a little bit over the many years my case took to complete. Louise was friendly and approachable at all times, she put a lot of time and effort into the process. She got a very good outcome, which I don’t think I would ever of got from anybody else.
I would highly recommend Louise and the company to everyone I know.

Fantastic service from Katherine - would highly recommend

Katherine dealt with the administration of my late father’s estate: collating the information in respect of assets and liabilities, dealing with inheritance tax issues, Probate and, ultimately, distributing the funds.

My father kept many records relating to his estate, however, they weren't in the best of order at his time of passing, so this task was no mean feat.

Everything was dealt with efficiently and with great communication throughout. The service provided was excellent value for money.

Personally, we're all so thankful of Katherine's help, advice and guidance on all matters - we wouldn't have been able to sort dad's estate without you!

Edward Sharpe and his team at Sills & Betteridge were phenomenal in handling my recent property purchase, as a first time buyer. They came recommended by a close friend (who has used them a few times) and it's safe to say that they exceeded my expectations.

It was clear in my transaction that some of the other parties involved were lightyears away from the level of competence and expertise that Ed and his team demonstrated. I would not hesitate to use them again.
