Impeccable Service

We used the services of Sills and Betteridge to help us with the legal minefield of selling my late Mums house. This was not a straightforward sale due to a number of complexities which were sent to try us. Our solicitor Sue Ross and her wonderful Support Yvonne Kilburn were always at hand to take the strain and find a solution to every situation that occurred. First class service. They do what they say they will do. No messing about and no unexpected bills at the end. I will use their services again without doubt . Thank you very much you have been amazing.

My partner and I met with Harry Smith to discuss Wills. He was very helpful and talked us through everything in a very clear way making the process much easier than anticipated. He made sure to cover everything we needed and the whole process was completed in a very timely manner. Would certainly go to Harry in future and will recommend him for his approachable manner and efficiency.

I highly recommend Sills and Betteridge Solicitors. We used them recently on the sale of our house and the purchase of our new property. They were professional and efficient throughout the whole process. We had a team of people working on our sale and purchase which meant that we could always get hold of someone if needed and it felt like our sale and purchase kept moving at pace. Any queries we had were answered quickly and fully allowing us to make any subsequent decisions in an informed fashion. In fact, our purchase was carried out in 6 weeks which was the quickest we have known and perfect for the situation we were in. I like the online portal which enabled us to see where in the process we were. Thank you to Sue, Yvonne and Karen!

We have used Sills & Betteridge in Sleaford twice now, first to buy a house and now to sell the same house and buy another one! On both occasions, they have been professional and attentive and I would highly recommend their conveyancing services. Thank you to Sue's team for a painless process again, particularly Yvonne who a pleasure to work with.
