Outstanding Service from Ellie K. and Ed S. At Lincoln

I have dealt with Sills & Betteridge Lincoln with conveyancing 3 times now and been both on the selling and buying end, and have to say their knowledge, efficiency, attention to detail and effectiveness are second to none. Even when dealing with difference circumstances (eg. putting property into a trust), they surpassed 2 other reputable solicitors contacted for quotes in their understanding (and the only ones to actually give us correct information!) Super quick to answer any emails, always same day (even out of hours) and always answer the phone and their wise advice has undoubtedly saved us a lot of money over the years. Centrally located office with plenty of customer parking which is also appreciated. Special shout out to Ellie and Ed who have consistently gone above and beyond to fight our corner and deliver positive outcomes every time. Thank you both so much for all your help!

Always great service

I’ve bought and sold a number of properties with Sills and find them to be competitively priced, efficient and professional. Faye and Fiona have handled several recent transactions and they are both reliable, communicative, courteous and knowledgable. A pleasure to work with and highly recommendable.

Superb conveyancing solicitors. As an estate agent for over 15 years I’ve encountered many firms. Having used Sills personally to complete a lease extension for an apartment, sell two properties and buy another they have been nothing but exemplary in their levels of service, communication and efficiency. Someone was always available to discuss my needs, offer great advice and keep me updated throughout every transaction. Team Amy and Team Kim were equally excellent with special mentions not only to the team leaders but Lucy, Beth and Uros, who were constantly on the case, knowledgeable and approachable at every point. You are a credit to your industry and profession.

Would not recommend. These were acting for my buyer, pushed him not to buy due to an unadopted road (after 5 months) they knew this information in the first month!!! There are over 40,000 unadopted roads in the UK and I had an indemnity policy that I was willing to transfer and pay the cost. Thanks, you have wasted 5 months of my time and thousands of pounds.

23/01/2026

We are sorry to hear you are unhappy. We are unable to comment on the wider issues as you are not our client and would advise you to speak to your own solicitor. Thank you for your feedback.

Absolutely fantastic service from Sills And Betteridge Solicitors

Having used Sills and Betteridge solicitors whilst selling my property, I found them to be extremely professional, very fairly priced and very helpful when advice was needed. I would like to give a special mention to Wendy Monro, Laura Patching and Hayley Hall who were brilliant through out the whole process. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer the company to a friend or family due to the professionalism they showed throughout the sale of my property.

Completely incompetent. Avoid. You would think a cat is doing their paperwork. Edit- see this is the kind of stupidity I am talking about. This is a google review, has nothing to do with any complaints, please get a grip.

Thank you for your further review. You are currently following our complaints procedure and your complaints will be responded to once an investigation has been completed.
