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.

I experienced a serious injury while on a cruise ship. I contacted Mckeag & Co Solicitors and I have to say they were AMAZING! They made everything really straightforward and stress-free - they did everything and any queries I had, they were very quick and thorough in explaining everything simply and thoroughly. Well recommended!

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.

Collected on:
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.

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.

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.

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!
A representative from McKeag & Co Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 25 February, 2022:
Lorrie, many thanks for the excellent review. We value all feedback from our clients. The Covid pandemic has been a trying time for all, us included, but we have managed to maintain the excellent level of service expected by our clients. Chris and his team welcome you back in the future should you need their services. Thank you. McKeag & Co.

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.
A representative from McKeag & Co Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 20 April, 2022:
Catherine, many thanks for the glowing review. We too take pride in offering the best service we can and are thrilled we can help your business do the same. Chris and his team always go above and beyond to provide an outstanding service to all of their clients and we are proud of the service levels they sustained during the Covid lockdowns. 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
