Slow and inefficient - likely overloaded/understaffed

2

We wouldn't recommend Sweeney Miller to anyone because of the following issues:
- the solicitors were unfamiliar with our case and we had to answer questions or doubts which were explained in our case file
- the solicitors could not properly communicate with sellers' solicitors regarding the TR1 and transfer deed (misspelled buyer name, declaration of trust) which resulted in an e-mail ping-pong that lasted for 2-3 weeks. The solicitors did not check the paperwork obtained from sellers' solicitors against our file to verify if the names are spelled correctly and declarations were included - we had to do that on our own.
- the solicitors left sorting out matters related to proof of funds to the final weeks of the case, despite the proof being submitted months earlier. This caused additional 1-2 weeks delay.
- they seemed oblivious to our mortgage offer expiry date, despite our reminders
- it took nearly 6 months to complete our case
- had to submit a complaint about the shortcomings in dealing with our case

From positives:
- they are definitely professional solicitors, but clearly overloaded and simply don't have the time to properly deal with new cases
- our matter was quickly concluded after complaint submitted
