Excellent! Deborah is brilliant!

I had instructed Sills & Betteridge for my husbands first UK Spouse Visa. From the first meeting with Deborah right up until the successful email I have felt nothing but support, warmth and total guidance. Deborah was extremely efficient, listened to me and guided me and I felt extremely reassured as we went through the process of the application and I will forever recommend her. I cannot thank her enough for the kindness and help that she gave me for such a pivotal time in my life and I am forever grateful. 100% recommend!

Clear guidance and easy to talk to.

I came to Melanie in a fairly stressful period in my career - she was warm and easy to talk to which made such a difference. Melanie offered clear guidance in an easy to understand way and was responsive to my questions. I would highly recommend her services.

We had these so we could buy a house just to dropped 3 days before Christmas2025. We had to pay out for a new solicitor and pay out to Change for the mortgage just to find out that the searches that these were done was out of date which was resulted in us losing the property that we wanted to buy. So now we have to look again, she wasted three months of backwards and forwards .oh don’t worry I am make a formal complaint as she has lost us a lot of money and lost us the property. With very upset kids .

We are sorry you were unhappy with the advice we provided. If you wish to raise a formal complaint please see the complaints procedure on our website.

A bit of a late review as my mortgage was finalised in March 2025, but the service I have received from Sills & Betteridge Solicitors Lincoln was amazing! Our solicitor Ellinor Kilshaw was exceptional and if it wasn't for her going the extra mile we wouldn't be living in our dream home right now! She was quick, responsive and professional! Would recommend any day of the week!

Sarah Rowe was completely incompetent when handling my matter, no appreciation for the stress these situations create and a complete failure to acknowledge and allow sufficient time to prepare for court and the deadlines. Avoid at all costs

Wills, Trusts & Probate

An unpleasant task made easy

Making wills is not a pleasant task, but Emily made the whole process easy and put us at our ease. Her warm but professional manner made us feel comfortable. The process was quick and everything explained in detail. I would highly recommend Sills and Betteridge and trust completely that our affairs are in the best of hands. Another of life’s essential tasks that we can be confident of having been accomplished by a solicitor with integrity. Thank you Emily.

Lasting Power of Attorney

Will & Power of Attorney - Sills & Betterage LLP

I contacted Emily to amend my will and prepare my power of attorney. Emily was very helpful and explained everything thoroughly, making sure I understood all the steps involved. I have used Sills & Betterage on a number of occasions and have always been extremely satisfied with their services. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Excellent service throughout, selling my former home and purchasing my new one.

I cannot thank Tiffany and Dawn enough for all of their help and support throughout both the sale of my former home and the purchase of my new home. The whole process was handled professionally, efficiently and with great communication from start to finish. Buying and selling at the same time can be incredibly stressful, but they made everything feel far more manageable and were always available to answer questions and keep me updated. What really stood out was the care and understanding shown during what was a very emotional and difficult period personally. I always felt reassured that everything was being dealt with properly and in my best interests. A special thank you to them both for being so patient, supportive and approachable throughout. I genuinely appreciated all of the hard work behind the scenes to help everything complete smoothly. I would highly recommend Sills & Betteridge to anyone looking for reliable, professional and compassionate solicitors.

I recently used Sills & Betteridge Sleaford for my remortgage and equity transfer and I was very impressed with the service throughout. The entire process was completed in just 7 weeks, which exceeded our expectations. Communication was clear and prompt at every stage, and everything was handled efficiently and professionally. I always felt informed and confident that matters were progressing smoothly. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient conveyancing solicitor. Thank you Sue and Yvonne for all your support and your understanding with my additional access needs. As someone on the spectrum who needs to understand processes in more detail than most would, you were kind, patient and supportive.
