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.

From start to finish in what has proved to be quite a long process Charlotte has proved to be professional, efficient, extremely patient and has dealt with everything required without issue. I would not hesitate to ask Charlotte's assistance again if needed and would recommend both her and Sweeney Miller to anyone else requiring a similar service.

Sale and purchasing

From the beginning of getting our quote Sweeney Miller have been amazing. Michael went through all the terms and costs really explaining why and what they’re for ane was very transparent. For the most part Khushi took over she was amazing at chasing other parties and always took time to keep us updated. Sweeney Miller are extremely responsive and if it wasn’t for them constantly contacting other conveyancers in the chain it would have taken a lot longer and possibly collapsed. Even when there was staff absence due to summer the work was always handed over and everyone we spoke to was very knowledgeable about the case. We also found Cem and Brian great supports. Would definitely use them going forward for any legal issues!

House sale and purchase

David, Mona and Khushi were so helpful with the sale and purchase. Every question was answered quickly and put all my worries at ease. I’m in Devon so I was worried about communication and paperwork but honestly they made it a breeze. I would highly recommend. They were a suggestion from the bank so very happy with the recommendation. Thank you for all your help and support! One happy home owner!

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
