My house purchase review

Amazing service with a fantastic team handling my case in a branch close to where I live, Dawn and Tiffany were very helpful being always available for calls and emails about anything I needed to know and keeping me up to date with the case. Very smooth experience with little trouble, very much recommend to others and will use Sills & B again for any other legal needs. Thanks for the help!

Fantastic service from Faye and Fiona

We can’t thank Faye and Fiona enough for the help they’ve provided us. Were first time buyers and you hear bad things usually regards to Solicitors but I can say this is the exact opposite. They kept us informed and up to date throughout the whole process, we haven’t been stressed one bit and that is down to their help. Would highly recommend and thank you again

A fantastic service - our second conveyance with Sills. They’re efficient and proactive - move everything forward, acknowledge all emails and never have to chase. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

Sale and purchase

Kirsty and her colleague Kim were fantastic. They dealt with both the sale of our property and our onward purchase. Kirsty’s advice was invaluable when it came to the first property we were interested in purchasing and stopped us making what would have been a very expensive mistake. Our sale was complicated and not something that the team had encountered before but Kirsty and Kim kept us updated at every stage. Would highly recommend both of them and the company they work for.

I was a little apprehensive when appointing a new solicitor for the purchase of our new home, but had no reason to worry. Joanne and her assistant Angela were absolutely brilliant from the moment go. They knew we wanted a quick completion and did everything in their power to do this for us without compromising on their duty to us. They were professional, helpful and friendly at the same time, we cannot thank them enough. I would not hesitate in recommending them.

A bit of a late review as my mortgage was finalised in March 2025, but the service I have received from Sills & Betteridge Solicitors Lincoln was amazing! Our solicitor Ellinor Kilshaw was exceptional and if it wasn't for her going the extra mile we wouldn't be living in our dream home right now! She was quick, responsive and professional! Would recommend any day of the week!

Efficient, professional and go over and above to ensure the sale went smoothly. Would highly recommend Talisa and her team. I wouldn’t use any other company for conveyancing.

I contacted the Mediation Service on behalf of a Client. My questions were answered with clarity and my Client was able to speak to the Legal Adviser who informed him of the process. The clear and concise information enabled my Client to agree to Mediation. The Legal Adviser also sent an email with all the information required to reassure and confirm the procedure. We were dealt with politely and respectfully throughout the call and had no doubts as to the next steps. An anxious Client left the office in a positive state of mind following our contact with the Mediation Service.

Thank you for your kind review - we are very pleased to hear that you were pleased with the service and that your client felt supported.
