I found both Emma and her assistant Thomas very polite and helpful in helping me getting things sorted. Both of them went above/out of their way to make everything go through smoothly inspite of the stress at times. They were very helpful when it came to filling out forms and explained the stages as we went along. I would highly recommend them and would also go back to them in the future.

Good clear advice

Louise was absolutely fabulous! Felt like I already knew her after 15 minutes as her people and communication skills are amazing. Felt completely at ease and she did a great job explaining how things work and what she would recommend. Everything was followed up in a timely manner. I would absolutely recommend!

I would recommend Sills & Betteridge for Conveyancing. I just used their Thorne office to sell my parents rental property with the added complication of doing so with an LPA for my parents. Very supportive and informative. Will use them again when we sell the second rental. Many thanks to Emma and Thomas.

Sill's and Betteridge (Doncaster) were appointed to carry out probate and estate work following my mother's death last year. To date, their service has been breath-takingly poor. Long delays have resulted due to the solicitor's lack of action and responsiveness - including not writing to request probate for 6 weeks following our initial meeting; not informing me that probate had been granted for approx. 8 weeks and then only after I had chased things up; similarly not writing to the bank to request the release of funds for the same period of time and then only after having been chased up. Phone calls can apparently never be answered at the time of calling in, excuses abound, and messages are not returned in a timely manner, if, indeed, at all. This is the first time I have ever been moved to leave a negative review online for any provider of any service, but Sills and Betteridge have more than earned this feedback and others considering their services deserve to be warned.
