Probate sale of retirement apartment in Boston, Lincolnshire

5

Awkward sale of empty apartment badly in need of improvement/up-dating. Initial sale fell through at fairly advanced stage, then significant asking price reductions had to be made to attract further offers during Covid Pandemic. At no stage did we feel that Sills & Betteridge were doing other than the best they could in the far from straightforward sale of the leasehold property.

Cannot think of anything that could be improved. Joanne & Karen always responded quickly to phone and e-mails always explaining everything in "lay-mans" terms
