A Lawyer I Know I Can Rely On

I’ve worked with Steven Dowse at Sills & Betteridge in Skegness for quite some time now, and he has always been brilliant to deal with. Steven is always on the ball, quick to respond and very professional, but also friendly and easy to talk to. He has helped me with commercial tenancies, leases, Land Registry matters and all the various documents that come with them, and I’ve always felt confident that everything is being properly taken care of. It makes a real difference having a layer you know you can rely on, and Steven has certainly been that for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Outstanding Service from Ellie K. and Ed S. At Lincoln

I have dealt with Sills & Betteridge Lincoln with conveyancing 3 times now and been both on the selling and buying end, and have to say their knowledge, efficiency, attention to detail and effectiveness are second to none. Even when dealing with difference circumstances (eg. putting property into a trust), they surpassed 2 other reputable solicitors contacted for quotes in their understanding (and the only ones to actually give us correct information!) Super quick to answer any emails, always same day (even out of hours) and always answer the phone and their wise advice has undoubtedly saved us a lot of money over the years. Centrally located office with plenty of customer parking which is also appreciated. Special shout out to Ellie and Ed who have consistently gone above and beyond to fight our corner and deliver positive outcomes every time. Thank you both so much for all your help!

Superb conveyancing solicitors. As an estate agent for over 15 years I’ve encountered many firms. Having used Sills personally to complete a lease extension for an apartment, sell two properties and buy another they have been nothing but exemplary in their levels of service, communication and efficiency. Someone was always available to discuss my needs, offer great advice and keep me updated throughout every transaction. Team Amy and Team Kim were equally excellent with special mentions not only to the team leaders but Lucy, Beth and Uros, who were constantly on the case, knowledgeable and approachable at every point. You are a credit to your industry and profession.

Would not recommend. These were acting for my buyer, pushed him not to buy due to an unadopted road (after 5 months) they knew this information in the first month!!! There are over 40,000 unadopted roads in the UK and I had an indemnity policy that I was willing to transfer and pay the cost. Thanks, you have wasted 5 months of my time and thousands of pounds.

We are sorry to hear you are unhappy. We are unable to comment on the wider issues as you are not our client and would advise you to speak to your own solicitor. Thank you for your feedback.

Wills, Trusts & Probate

Highly Reccomended

We have used Florence Gardner of Sills & Betteridge in Sleaford on more than one occasion during the last 2 years for advice, and to go through wills, prepare new ones, assist and advise with trusts and probate matters. I cannot rate Florence higher – Florence is lovely, very approachable, knowledgeable, helpful and patient. When dealing with 2 close family members passing away in a short period, we could not have asked for any better with her exceptional knowledge and patience, given in a caring and compassionate manner. Florence is very professional and knowledgeable. She explained everything, and was happy to go over anything more than once, without hesitation, to make sure we knew what we were doing. And that our decisions with new wills and decisions on probate, were the best for our needs. It was all very new and unexpected, and throughout, although we were out of our depth, we came away with piece of mind every time. Due to the exceptional service from Florence, we also used the conveyancing team at Sills to deal with 2 house sales, and were also very impressed with the service we were given there too. Without doubt, I would not hesitate to recommend Florence, and the Sills & Betteridge team in general.

Amazing service no heavy jargon.

Would highly recommend this branch of Solicitors Katie Senior was really professional and family friendly. The whole process of preparing wills and power of attorney for my parents was easy to understand with no heavy jargon. Katie was very sensitive to the process of preparing Wills and it was a real pleasure having her deal with everything. Many Thanks

Do not use this firm for anything relating to child proceedings. I used this firm for legal action regarding custody of my son. Over 2 years it went on for. Being charged through the nose for shoddy half done work. They completely misinformed me of my rights and what I could have challenged in the courts. They rinsed me of £15,000 with absolutely nothing to show for it in the end. It wasn't until I took on a barrister in the end to which she notified me it was the poorest work she had seen in 30 years of being a barrister specialising in family courts. By this time the damage had been done. The forms and paperwork filled out were incorrect with the wrong names and dates of birth. The work they provided was nothing short of complete incompetence and shoddy. When you complain they don't want to know and refuse to acknowledge your complaint. 2 years on I'm still fighting through the legal ombudsman as told to by my barrister. There is a lot more I could write but what's the point. They've ruined my life and taken no accountability for it. They would turn up 40 minutes late to court and still charge you for it. Shocking. Incompetent. Shoddy unbothered solicitors. Avoid if you want any chance of winning a custody battle.

We are sorry you are still unhappy with the service provided by Sills & Betteridge. We endeavour to provide a high standard to all our clients. We understand you have gone through our formal complaints procedure and that your complaint was not upheld by our third-party complaints handler.
