Great service - Our go-to solicitors

We’ve used Sweeney Miller in Sunderland both for the purchase of our flat in 2023 and more recently for our lease extension in 2026, and we’ve had a great experience on both occasions. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, approachable and genuinely helpful throughout the whole process. They kept things clear and straightforward, were always happy to answer questions, and made what can often feel stressful much easier to manage. A special thank you to Megan Martin-Lawrence and Shahar Sadat for all of their help and support, it was really appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sweeney Miller and they’ve definitely become our go-to solicitors for home-related matters.

Sweeney Miller Law are easily the best solicitors for buying/selling a house that we have encountered. Elizabeth (and Ellie) were so helpful with any queries we had, they always responded to emails very quickly, they chased our buyers solicitors when they were dragging their heels, and they just came across as geniunely nice people who were doing their jobs efficiently, which is all we ask for. There was a couple of little hiccups with the Digital Move App/site, but again when we queried anything the response was almost immediate. Cannot rate them highly enough. Thank you so much.

Chloe was amazing from start to finish during both my sale and purchase. She supported me through every step of the process and always replied very quickly to any questions or concerns I had, which really helped reduce stress. Kolshuma was also extremely helpful and ensured everything progressed smoothly and efficiently. What really stood out was how personal their service felt — even though they both must have many clients, they made me feel like I was their only one. They were patient, thorough, and always made sure I understood what was happening. I always felt reassured and in safe hands. I would highly recommend Chloe and Kolshuma to anyone going through a sale and purchase.💜

Rukhsanah and Darcy were absolutely wonderful to deal with throughout this transaction. Both Rukhsanah and Darcy communicated extremely well, responded quickly to queries, and was always patient, understanding, and empathetic. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they both took the time to explain matters clearly whenever needed. Rukhsanah and Darcy worked closely as part of a team, and together they ensured we met an incredibly tight and time-sensitive deadline, which I genuinely believe would not have been possible without their combined effort and commitment. I am extremely happy with the service and support Rukhsanah and Darcy provided and would highly recommend to anyone looking for solicitors who are professional, approachable, and truly client-focused.

Property Purchase

Working with Shahar and Megan to purchase my first buy to let, was one I would highly recommend, the process was made seamless and efficient and with minimal involvement from myself, as I needed to trust the professionals for a hands off investment. Shahar and Megan always responded promptly and explained everything to me. Thank you for getting it over the line. And I look forward to working with you again.

One or two slip ups but good comms and responsive

Used this firm after a recommendation, for selling a probate house in the south east. it doesn’t matter where the solicitors are in England so saved £1k by not paying south east prices, still got a real solicitor firm. ( the ones local to me are all expensive slow dinosaurs, never use “family firms) ID verification is done by third fort app and all comms is online or by phone. Only had to post one thing, a signed letter confirming bank details. They give you access to an online system so you can see what is going on , upload and read documents. It’s not brilliantly designed but you get the hang of the bugs. Note: if you need sale proceeds split between two accounts, client info form only allows for one - so don’t add any, give them all the details later to make sure they split the money. I don’t think anyone actually reads property info forms (buyers didn’t!), and they did sometimes need to be told that I had uploaded documents. Big plus - Very responsive firm who definitely know how to delegate and communicate. I didn’t hear much from the case owner (except when the other solicitors in the chain decided not to do any work for days or weeks and he has to pass on the bad news) but the team seem to communicate well so it didn’t matter who was responding. Usually got an answer within a few hours, only time I didn’t was after completion when I needed the completion statement to sort something out, took 3 chases to get that. Problems - mostly with the online system. E.g, where I couldn’t edit the TA6 form. If there are two clients the system locks the form after the first one approves it and you can’t see it , not helpful if second person has questions. Also their client letter and sale completion letter are both out of date ( expenses figures are wrong, refers to CHAPS when they use same day BACS and tells you they are sending a client questionnaire which they no longer do). Worst blunder was following the TA6 problem, I asked them to upload a new form and it was an old version. Fortunately I was paying attention and I didn’t hear from that team member again… also despite repeat checks that they had all info for paying sale proceeds, on completion day they decided they didn’t and there was a last minute hitch. It is obviously vital to triple check money is going to the right place, but they had plenty of warning so no excuse for not planning ahead. Clients who are not moving may not be available on completion day. They were proactive with exchange which got repeatedly delayed and changed by the others in chain. Kept us fully informed. Despite very drawn out sale ( not their fault, bad other solicitors) the legal fee was unchanged and the extras were only £50 or so more - mostly due to the out of date client care letter. So all satisfactory and happy to recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we are glad that your experience was largely positive, subject to one or 2 issues. We have looked into some of the points you mention. The app does in fact only allow one client to make amendments to the TA6. This is because we need uniform replies from both clients to ensure there is no conflict and is deliberately designed this way. If the second client would like to amend replies given by the first owner, then we have to re-send the whole form. Apologies if an old version of the form was re-sent, as you have mentioned. This may have been an oversight on our part for which we would apologise. As for CHAPS / BACS, mortgage redemption payments are always made by CHAPS as they are time sensitive. All other payments, wherever possible, we aim to send by BACS as this is cheaper and we try to keep your costs low. So, there is a mix of CHAPS and BACS used, depending on type of payment. We also do prefer to always check bank details on the day of completion to ensure funds will get where they need to, safely. In this age of cybercrime, we can never be too careful when dealing with client monies. Apologies if this caused any inconvenience. Overall, we are glad that you found the team responsive and proactive. If you would like to discuss any aspect of your matter or the response further, then we are always happy to do so and would be grateful if you could contact us on cleintservices@sweeneymiller.co.uk.

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 !!!

We had a great experience with Sweeney Miller! 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. When things got complicated, we really felt like they were on our side and working really hard to get our sale through. We would definitely recommend to others!

I cannot recommend Elizabeth Cowley at Sweeney Miller Law highly enough for her exceptional conveyancing services during our recent house purchase. From start to finish, she made what can often be a daunting experience completely stress-free. Elizabeth is incredibly detail-oriented, ensuring every aspect of the transaction was meticulously handled. Her communication was a standout feature; she was always responsive and provided quick answers to any questions we had. What we appreciated most was her ability to explain complex legal jargon in simple, clear language, making us feel confident and informed at every stage. She was proactive in keeping the momentum going to ensure we hit our completion deadline on time. Throughout the process, Elizabeth remained patient, professional, and supportive. We are so happy to be moving into our new house, and we owe a huge thank you to Elizabeth for making it happen so smoothly. If you are looking for a solicitor who is efficient and thorough, look no further!
