Easy, straightforward service

I recently used Rebbeca Hanford and her team to purchase my new property. The whole team were great to deal with, explained the parts I didnt understand, were responsive and efficient.
Everything was done via the phone or electronically which worked really well for me.
All round a great service.

Terrible experience. Be aware they will claim abortive fees during a sale where it is not justified and no work has been carried out. They failed to reply to my request for information on what work had been done on my behalf and proceeded to smalls claims to claim monies owed without justification for the work carried out.

A representative from Sills & Betteridge LLP responded to this review on 29 August, 2023:

Thank you for your feedback which we are taking very seriously. We are sorry you were not satisfied by the service on this occasion. If you would like to discuss this further please contact our Client Service Manager Alison Lowe on 01522 542211.

We have used Sills & Betteridge in Sleaford twice now, first to buy a house and now to sell the same house and buy another one! On both occasions, they have been professional and attentive and I would highly recommend their conveyancing services. Thank you to Sue's team for a painless process again, particularly Yvonne who a pleasure to work with.

Very slow to deal with matters, my purchaser used them for conveyancing. They took over a week to answer emails on a regular basis. They did not reply to messages and do not like being progress chased. They stated to our estate agents that they were dealing with someone elses work, seemingly ignoring everything else. They had to be pushed to get the sale through before christmas. After waiting over two weeks for the file to be reviewed. Personally I would not recommend using their services, trying to get a removal company two days before Christmas ? Thanks for ruining the holidays for us!
