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

Best conveyancing service

Best conveyancing service I could ask for. Thanks to Anthony Miller and his team I have bought my first home without any hassle. Throughout the process I was kept well informed. Overall I am very happy with the service I got and I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

Purchased a home with Anthony as my solicitor

5

I have recently completed buying a home using Sweeney miller law and Anthony as my solicitor. The full process has been pretty plain sailing and this is down to Anthony being very approachable and quick with his responses to my queries. Buying a home can be difficult and rather stressful but with Anthony’s help it has been stress free and was completed in a very reasonable time frame.

Solicitor for Leasehold flat

5

Anthony was always honest, quick to respond to any queries I had and informed me of any issues promptly. For completion and exchange this occurred very quickly and with no issues on the leasehold. He was available or got back promptly via phone and was supportive from start to finish.

A Conscientiously law firm

My solicitor, Anthony Miller, who is professional, conscientious.

Since it was my first time to buy a home in UK, during the procedures, I had a lot of questions and misunderstanding, he explained clearly. Moreover, he responsed quickly.

I satisfied their good services. Thank you😊

Firstly i would like to emphasise on how fantastic this company is, Recently we sold our first home and purchased our forever home with Sweeney Miller.
The advice and support from Abigail was brilliant, Abigail stayed in contact and kept us updated throughout the whole process with selling and buying the properties, especially towards the end of the process.
Moving home is the most stressful thing i have ever experienced but Sweeney Miller made the move that much easier!
Thanks again to Abigail, Anthony, Damien and the team at Sweeney Miller
Will definitely be recommending to family and friends!

I’d like to say a massive thank you to Abigail & Anthony for helping us throughout the process of buying our first home. Within 8 weeks of putting an offer in we are now sat in our new home. Such a quick and easy process for us, so thank you both for making it a really enjoyable experience!

We have used Sweeney Miller for five sales and purchases, brilliant every time. Efficient, friendly service. We dealt mainly with Anthony and Abigail this time, they were great, nothing was too much trouble, always responding to our queries quickly. Hopefully found our forever home, but if not will definitely use them again..

We contacted Sweeney Miller last year to act as our conveyancer for a property in Devon where we are based. At the time, local conveyancers were too busy to take us on and so we had to cast our net further afield and I'm so glad we did. Anthony Miller took on our case and we found him to be so prompt in enquiries and really felt that despite the distance between us, he worked so hard on our case and was extremely thorough. We would definitely return as clients with SM and no doubt would ask for Anthony again if we needed a conveyancer. A thoroughly lovely chap who you can tell genuinely loves his profession.
