Great experience

Sweeney Miller was recommended to us by Halifax bank and our purchase was handled by David and Emma.
Communication was great, we were kept updated at every stage and nothing was too much trouble.
I would have no hesitation in recommending and would definitely use again should we have the need.

Sweeney Miller recently did the conveyancing on my sale and purchase.
Communication was ok, but could have been swifter. I found out from the estate agent for the house I was buying that we had exchanged, and then completed some time before Sweeney Miller told me.
The app was reasonably pointless. It was never up to date on the stage of the process and everything was done over email anyway.
I'd asked to use Docusign but was sent everything to print out, sign and post back. Surely in 2024 there are better ways of handling signing of documents.

We loved working with Elizabeth and Mel on our sale and purchase. They are really good at what they do. Angela and I love that they are so approachable, responsive and on it. Our case was pretty intense at times with the chain below us but we are there now and loving our new home :) Thank so much, Dave and Angela x x
