Service paid for but not provided and zero communication

In August 2020, I was asked to pay for the legal services in the simple matter of extending a head lease and registration of the extended head lease with the Land Registry so that my extended sub-lease could itself be registered with the Land Registry. I paid the fees immediately in August 2020 for the work to be carried out - I believe that the trading name of the firm then was Campions. Some 6 years on and the work hasn't been completed - certainly not registered at the Land Registry. This has caused huge financial problems and immense stress. Despite attempts to contact Betteridge and Sills in Nottingham repeatedly over the last two to three weeks - phone, emails etc, my solicitor and I have been totally ignored. Not even a single acknowledgement. Not sure that there can be extenuating circumstances given 6 years of inactivity - my solicitor evidently should have chased the matter but hasn't either but zero communication is inexcusable.

Voluntary First Registration

We entrusted Silks & Betteridge with the voluntary first registration of the property we had owned since 1972. This was carried out without the utmost professionalism. We were informed about the process, how long it would probably take and, kept fully informed during the process. Jo Smithson was excellent and responded to our queries in a very timely manner, for which we thank her.

Land Registration

We appointed S&B LLP to apply for First Voluntary Land Registration. We were provided with an upfront quote for the cost which was extremely competitive. The whole process was very straightforward and dealt with in an efficient and friendly manner. Would not hesitate to use S&B again.

Mathew Daurge was recommended to me and my wife by our Mortgage Advisor. Myself and my wife were purchasing our first home in Swindon, Mathew was incredibly professional and communicated us through every step, we even passed his details onto friends and family who have had equally amazing service. Will always recommend him to everyone.

Thank you to Stephen and all of the Orange team at Campions for completing the conveyancing and ILA for our recent property purchase. Despite the whole conveyancing process taking a lot longer than we hoped due to searches taking extremely long time to be returned by the search provider, the quality of work delivered by the team at Campions was excellent. The team were very friendly and all of our questions were dealt with promptly. I would be happy to use Campions again.

A representative from Sills & Betteridge LLP responded to this review

Thank you very much for this Benjamin. Orange team are very pleased with these comments.

Part way through a slightly more complicated remortgage on land to build a house, Luke has been extremely responsive and helpful. Had a response this morning in about 10 minutes on a query that made me remember past experiences with other solicitors, typically waiting days and having to chase consistently for an answer.

Needed independent legal advice forms to be filled out to secure a mortgage through a limited company. Fast, efficient service and at a sensible price and significantly less than my solicitors doing the the mortgage transaction. Second time of using and will use again.

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

Florence took a lot of time to get to know my personal needs and made me feel nothing was too much trouble. We met several times in person and online, depending upon what suited me most. I was very impressed with her professionalism, time taken and her ability to make me feel like an individual. I would thoroughly recommend the service I was given.

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.
