Conveyancing for sale of apartment

5

I felt valued throughout my interactions with the company. The sale of my property was not straight forward for a number of historical reasons but they have patiently and diligently followed the process from beginning to successful conclusion. I can not fault the first class service and communication and would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

Sale and Purchase (Conveyancing)

5

Very good experience with Mckeag and Co on the sale of my home and purchase of new property. They carry out their procedures in a timely manner and communicate well regarding updates. Chris Thomson was especially helpful in liasing with multiple solicitors in the chain to help move things along and keep it largely to time. Megan Swinney was also very helpful on my sale and was very proactive in sorting that out. Thanks for a great service.

Outstanding Firm

5

This is the fourth time we have used McKeag’s for conveyancing. The service we received from Dawn Brown and the team was absolutely outstanding. From start to finish we were kept updated and the whole process was seamless. I cannot recommend the firm highly enough and wouldn’t consider using any other firm for any future needs.

House sale and purchase

5

We used McKeag and Co for both a house sale and a house purchase. Our house purchase had been complicated by additional legal issues, which Sarah helped us navigate, and she repeatedly went out of her way to ensure we could complete as soon as possible (supported by a Partner, Chris Thompson, who turned around documentation on a Saturday to speed things along!). Our house sale was straightforward, and we completed in under 2 months, thanks to Megan's proactiveness. Both Sarah and Megan were incredibly responsive and proactive and I would recommend the firm wholeheartedly.

Conveyancing

McKeag and Co provided Conveyancing services for me following the death of my wife. They helped with a transfer and 2
sales of property. They were accessible, proactive and the cost of services was very reasonable. I would absolutely recommend them.

Excellent service

5

Took away much of the hastle of selling a property. The team was very proactive, helpful and professional which meant I didn’t have to progress chase anything. They were also accessible by both phone and email which is not always the case with some solicitors. My experience couldn’t have been better.

Chris and his team at McKeag and Co. dealt with the selling and buying for our recent move. We anticipated things might take a bit longer due to Covid, but the conveyancing team were proactive and quick with both their work on our behalf and their replies to our questions throughout. For competence, approachability, sensible advice and price we couldn't fault them. A five star team!

I write this review as a director of an estate agency and I can safely say we have a lot of experience with solicitor firms. Selling the property is the easy bit - sales progression is another matter and you need a trusted and quality firm in your corner. It's not about referral fees for us. We pride our own business in offering the very best service and in order to do that our 'go to' solicitor firm is Mckeags. Chris Thomson is highly knowledgeable and knows his stuff in all aspects of the field. We are based in Great Park and it has its fair share of conveyancing difficulties due to the nature of how things are set up when the estate was built plus being an ongoing development - when we sell a property here - we tell our clients you need Mckeags on the job (road adoption indemnities, sections agreement requests, management company info, deeds of variation, ancient rent charges - it all gets sorted out and when you use Chris for your sale your paperwork is rock solid). Solicitors do get very busy and there will be times when they are working through files however we can safely say that when needs must - we get answers and solutions very quickly. They have worked consistently through the covid pandemic where others have fallen apart. Sometimes getting a sale to go through can take longer than you hope however there are many influencing factors. We've never found Mckeags to be anything other than a necessity. Choose local and the fees are very reasonable.

We welcome your business and are extremely grateful of the recommendations you provide and the new clients you send our way. We look forward to hearing from you again. Kind regards McKeag & Co

"Top Class for a competitive price". Recently used McKeag & Co for home purchase. Very good service and helpful folks. Their detailed guidance on various stages did help me a lot. The team was very approachable and did see every bits of the contract/obligations. Very much recommended.

Top class service - I fully recommend this firm and trust them to provide an excellent service. From a conveyancing point of view their local knowledge and expertise are invaluable. If you are selling a property on Great Park or anywhere for that matter this is the firm to use.
