Sills & Betteridge LLP

Matter Type: Residential Conveyancing

While not a client, the buyer in our chain is using this appalling company.

2 weeks before our intended completion date and after all the draft contracts have been signed these clowns informed us that they wanted a "Covid Clause" inserted into the contracts. Bearing in mind their client is in rented accommodation and is therefore not time critical to move this seems strange.

Now to instigate this, all parties in the chain need to sign new contracts.... 8 working days before our hoped for completion date. When their client asked them not to proceed their response was "Head Office insist so we will not proceed without one except the day before completion."
So not only do they insist on additional clauses in contracts AFTER they have sent and received these back, they won't even take instructions from their clients.

They had 3 months to do this and managed to request 8 working days before completion when there is no chance of getting the entire chain to get signed contracts back.

I would not use this firm under any circumstances and I can only recommend that you avoid them like the plague.

Mat has recently completed a sale and purchase of a property for us. He was professional and thorough in his approach at all times. His advice was based on our needs and requirements. Throughout the process there was clear communication and always quick at responding to questions that were answered in full. I was impressed at his extremely proactive approach and showing to always being one step ahead.
This is the second time we have used Mat and on both occasions have been really pleased with the service we have received, which is also reasonably priced. Highly recommend- will be using again in the future.

Matter Type: New home purchases and sales

Matter Type: Evicting Squatters and Trespassers

The conveyancing department, especially Mathew Daurge, went above and beyond to assist on our linked sale and purchase. Through trials and tribulations worthy of a soap opera, they overcame obstacles and helped keep the chain together. Nothing was ever too much and they were always prompt to respond and assist. We could not have got to completion day without them!

Matter Type: Buying at auction

I chose Sills & Betteridge to act as conveyancer for the purchase of my first home. I was allocated Mathew Duarge and my solicitor and he was very helpful throughout the process. As this was my first time buying a house I had no idea of the process. Mathew was a massive help and I felt like I had a good idea of what was going on throughout. Mathew would always reply to my emails and questions quickly and clearly and he helped ensure everything went through very smoothly. I would 100% recommend Sills and Betteridge and Mathew.

Matter Type: Purchase and Sale

Using Sils and Betteridge LLP was a great decision as Mathew Daurge, our appointed contact was exceptional and worked incredibly our conveyancing and to ensure we were moved within our target date to apply for school applications.

I would highly recommend Sils and Betteridge and thank them and in particular Mathew for exceptional service.
