Conveyancing - how it should be done.

Julia and her assistant Esther are efficient, friendly, calm and approachable. I can thoroughly recommend using them when buying or selling a property. I have dealt with Julia for years and have happily tracked her down again.

Excellent experience

We had a great experience with our solicitor Julia. She helped us so much during the process of purchasing our flat. Even though we had encountered a few issues during this time, Julia was a great help, communication with her was really good, she was proactive, gave clear advice, responded in a timely manner to enquiries and she made the process feel less stressful. We trusted her in this process and she delivered! We highly recommend Julia as a solicitor and Sill&Betteridge for overall services!

We were really pleased with the tenacity shown by Julia so that we made an agreed completion date. Without her efforts I am uncertain it would have happened. Thanks
