Great Solicitor

My solicitor was on the ball from start to finish. She had great communication throughout, which was extremely reassuring while purchasing my first property.

Very efficient and good communication

The case Steven Dowse dealt with was a very complicated probate and business lease then sale. It was certainly far from straightforward in many ways. He was good in explaining the legal side of things and responded to enquiries without huge delays. He helped me past the finish line at a time of distress following the death of my family members and the sale of their business of which I had no involvement until their death.

Took to long

The sale took too long for some reason. No explanation given . Difficult to speak to the solicitor. The original solicitor left half way through.

Sills and Betteridge helped me with the conveyance of a probate property which was also a shared ownership property. It was not an easy conveyance but all the people involved were true professionals, polite and friendly. I would use them again and will definitely recommend them to others. I am truly grateful for their help and understanding during a very difficult time for myself. Thank you
