Lost important paperwork

Everything seemed to be going smoothly until the day of exchange when they realised they had “misplaced the signed contracts and TR1 forms”
This added additional stress to an already stressful process. Don’t bother downloading the app they don’t use it.
DISAPPOINTED!!!!

Great service!

I had an excellent experience with Sweeney Miller, who were recommended by my mortgage adviser. My sale and purchase were both quite complicated, but communication with the team (especially Elizabeth!) was excellent, and they did everything possible to speed along the process and resolve the issues that arose along the way. Thank you very much!

Purchase of a property in Catterick

The team from Sweeney Miller were exceptional in the handling of my mortgage agreement during the conveyance process. In fact, I did most of the negotiations remotely with the sterling support of the team and received timely and prompt advice at every important step. I would like to specially thank David Turk, Mel Finlay and Khushi Jan for their professionalism and steer with handling the process on my behalf and strongly recommend the firm of Sweeney Miller to those interested in their legal services. All the best for the future.

Attention to detail and responsiveness were excellent!

I have recently used Sweeney Miller for a property purchase and despite some challenges along the way with the other side they were patient, professional and diligent in their approach. The communication was first class and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and recommend their services to others.

Sweeney Miller recently helped me purchase my first home and I have to say I can't fault their service. I was assigned to Irenna but Elizabeth was my main contact throughout the process and she was amazing! She provided progress updates all the way through, always responds to my email swiftly and provided advice when I had questions. I also had several email exchanges with Kierra who was also very helpful. Would definitely recommend them. Keep up the good work guys! You're doing a brilliant job!!

Sweeney Miller was recommended by our mortgage/financial advisor. We were very satisfied with their guidance and assistance throughout the conveyancing process of our first house purchase in the UK. Irenna, Kierra, and Elizabeth were prompt and patient in answering our many questions. We've already recommended Sweeney to others.
