Absolutely brilliant

We recently instructed Sills & Betteridge to act as our conveyancers for the purchase of our first home, after hearing positive feedback from relatives who had used their services.

We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Alice Solomon and her assistant, Charlie Mahon. They were both absolutely brilliant and made the house-buying process as simple and straightforward as possible for us.

Alice and Charlie were incredibly responsive to our queries, kept us regularly updated, and clearly explained each step of process.

We were working to a tight deadline, and instructing Sills and Betteridge enabled us to meet it.

We truly can’t recommend them highly enough and will definitely be encouraging friends and family to use their services in the future.

Excellent advice and assistance

We contacted Sills and Betteridge to make our wills as we had been given their details as they are participants in the Free Wills Network. We had two appointments with Katherine Proctor, first to discuss the provisions of our wills and then, after receiving draft copies, to sign the final versions. Katherine could not have been more helpful and we are very grateful for her assistance and for the very efficient way she handled everything.

Excellent service - great communication

I’m so glad to have found Sills and Betteridge after trying to find some solicitors who would take on my claim. It was a handy location on the bus route and I quite enjoyed travelling to places I’d never normally visit in Lincolnshire. Laura always kept me in the picture and have me her recommendation which I trusted. I’m delighted with her service and wish her all the best in her career. I’d recommend her and the company to others.

Personal Accident and Injury Claim - Concern for Client's Wellbeing

Laura was very supportive and informative on my initial approach and I did not feel any pressure to proceed (or not) with the claim. Once I had made the decision to proceed I was guided through the process in a kind and efficient manner with regular, pertinent updates and relevant options. I feel Laura understood my personal situation particularly well and handled my claim exceptionally well given how anxious I was initially to proceed. I really appreciated her concern for my wellbeing throughout the process.

First time using Sills Betteridge Solicitors

I recently instructed Sills & Betteridge for the conveyancing of my aunt's property sale. Not living in Lincolnshire, I had no knowledge of any legal practices in the area, but the reviews were good so I requested a quote which was very acceptable.
Hayley Hall and her assistant handled the proceedings professionally, they were clear and informative right from our initial conversation. I received very good service and would happily recommend Sills & Betteridge Solicitors to anyone.
