Satisfaction guaranteed

Both the solicitor and her assistants were so helpful. We are not that good coping with lots of things on the computer, they were always available either seeing them or on the telephone.

Exceptional Service and Expertise

My wife and I had instructed Lesley Warren at Sills & Betteridge LLP to prepare joint Wills on our behalf. Lesley was excellent and took the time to thoroughly explain the intricacies of joint Will creation, ensuring that my wife and I were well informed and comfortable every step of the way. Lesley’s ability to simplify complex legal jargon made the entire process very transparent and stress free.

From the initial consultation to the final signing, Lesley/Sills & Betteridge LLP demonstrated an unwavering commitment to providing top-notch legal services. I already have recommended and will continue to recommend the services provided at Sills & Betteridge LLP.

Estate processing and associated Conveyance

Brilliant service, professional, communicative and supportive throughout a stressful and somewhat convoluted house sale. It had to be tied in with a Deceased Estate with a number of steps having to happen on one day. Sills and Betteridge made it all so much easier.

Not ideal for a first time buyer

I found communication with my solicitor very difficult at times. I felt that I was expected to know alot and was spoken to in this way but being a first time buyer, I didn't really know anything. Everything was very rushed at the end of the process which made things very stressful and every time I felt I was at the final stage it was " and obviously we need...".

Over all not a great experience and I would say not best suited for someone looking to buy for the first time.

They assisted me with a house sale and title split. Even though the buyer's solicitors were *awful*, S&B managed to keep the sale on track and reassured and informed me every step of the way.

Sills and Betteridge helped me with the conveyance of a probate property which was also a shared ownership property. It was not an easy conveyance but all the people involved were true professionals, polite and friendly. I would use them again and will definitely recommend them to others. I am truly grateful for their help and understanding during a very difficult time for myself. Thank you
