    Company recommendation

    I just wanted to extend our thanks to you for the outstanding support throughout the sale of our home. It’s been a challenging process at times, and although there were several moments when I felt ready to walk away from the deal, you remained calm, committed, and completely professional from start to finish. Your persistence, guidance, and expertise ensured we were able to see this through and successfully close. We genuinely appreciate the effort and dedication you put into getting this over the line. Thank you again for everything — it’s been greatly appreciated.

    This is my first experience working with a legal firm in the area of property (mortgage). As a first buyer, I was a bit nervous as I did not know what to expect from the firm. I also noticed that throughout the process everything went smoothly and I got the support needed while dealing with my case. I will be recommending the firm to anyone who requires a legal service.

    Lucy Bridge - A first time buyers dream We were recommend Sweeney Miller by our mortgage advisor and luckily we were assigned Lucy and Ethan. The buying process was so unbelievably stress free and that’s all down to Lucy’s incredible communication. Despite us being 2 hours away from her office, each document was sent promptly, questions answered within 24 hours and the exchange finalised within required time frame. A massive thank you to Lucy and her team for making the purchase of our first home a hassle free process. We wish you all the best with your training contract and hope to return to you for our next purchase. Thank you !!!

    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.

    A representative from Sweeney Miller LLP responded to this review

    Thank you for your comments. We appreciate all feedback, whether it is good or bad, as it helps us to continually assess and improve our services. We are aware of issues with the app and are looking into this. Apologies for this. As for DocuSign, I understand from the team that your request for the documents to be DocuSign was sent after we had already sent the documents out to you. As there is a charge associated with this service, we give clients a choice as to whether or not to use this. We wish you all the best for the future and thank you for choosing Sweeney Miller. We do hope that you will give us a chance to serve you again.

    Sweeney Miller Law were recommended to us and unfortunately we found the service very poor. As first time buyers, nothing was explained to us, leading to us asking questions and their replies would be very short, inconsistent and confusing. I found many errors in the contract regarding the purchase amount and address details of our property to which I never received apologies for. I had to chase multiple times for updates, especially for our property searches and found out they were returned 3 weeks prior which cause further delays. It was very stressful to an already stressful situation and as a result I would not recommend them.

    A representative from Sweeney Miller LLP responded to this review

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry that you were not satisfied with the service provided. We appreciate all feedback, whether it is good or bad. We note from the file that our team was in regular contact with you throughout the matter and there is nothing on the file to suggest that you mentioned to the team dealing that you had any issue with the quality of the updates. Whilst we do not have an issue with clients calling multiple times for updates, this does not mean that we would not have updated you had it not been for you calling multiple times. Our service levels are clearly set out in our client care documentation, and we note that the matter completed in just over 2 months. As for searches, we have already advised that these are done by a third party, and we wouldn’t normally chase searches when they are within the timescales provided by the agent. If you would like to discuss this in further detail, then feel free to contact us via email on clientrelations@sweeneymiller.co.uk . We wish you all the best with your home.

      I had a great experience with Sweeney Miller, particularly with Kolshuma Begum, who handled my case throughout the process. Kolshuma was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer my questions, no matter how small or obvious they may have seemed. Communication was excellent, and I always felt informed and supported at every stage. Thank you so much for all of your help and support. I would highly recommend Kolshuma Begum and Sweeney Miller to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solicitor.

Big thanks to Chloe and Paige who kept us updated throughout, responded to queries almost immediately and also chased up other agents and solicitors in the chain for us.
