Great conveyancing service

Sold my property in January and just completed on buying my new home today. Stephanie was great in relation to the sale and got things through in 8 weeks. Viktorija dealt with my purchase and was really helpful from start to finish. Kept in touch, always available when needed and provided great advice. Very professional service. Thank you.

Outstanding Service

5

I cannot express how fantastic Stephanie and her team have been in getting me moved home. My purchaser was having massive difficulties with her solicitor and Stephanie went over and above to get everything completed on time. She responded to every email and took every call I made. I’ve never had such exceptional service before. If you are thinking of moving I would strongly recommend that you use this firm for a hassle free, quick, professional and personal service. Amazing!!!!

House sale and purchase by Stephanie Rutherford

I cannot thank Stephanie enough for helping me through a house sale and a house purchase which through no fault of myself and Stephanie was a long and hard process. Her patience and professionalism was outstanding. As an anxious person she explained with great patience any matter I was struggling with; and I will definitely recommend Sweeney Miller and Stephanie to friends and family.

Brilliant service again. I am a landlord and use Sweeney Miller each time I buy a property. The last 2 I completed last month, both within a 28 day timescale. Very friendly, organised, efficient and professional service every time. Highly recommend them for a simple easy process.

I had the pleasure of working with Sweeney Miller Solicitors -Sunderland, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Stephanie Rutherford was my solicitor, and she was outstanding throughout the entire process. The pricing was fair, and I always felt that I was receiving excellent value for the service provided.

Stephanie was incredibly patient and responsive, always taking the time to answer my questions promptly. I never felt like my case was being postponed or put on the back burner; instead, it was clear that my case was a priority at all times. Her availability and dedication gave me confidence and peace of mind.

I highly recommend Stephanie Rutherford and the team at Sweeney Miller.
