unexpected costs

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Sydney Mitchell Solicitors. I was billed £396 for what appears to be minimal effort, including simply receiving an email and basic correspondence. At no point was I advised in advance that these trivial actions would incur charges, nor was I given any breakdown of costs beforehand.

This lack of transparency and the disproportionate billing feels exploitative. Solicitors have a duty to inform clients of costs upfront and provide value for money, neither of which was demonstrated here.

I would strongly advise anyone considering their services to get clear, written estimates and ensure you understand what you're being charged for—otherwise, you may end up with an unexpected and unjustified bill like I did.

Amazing service

Marta was amazing and made purchase of my house easier. It was very stresful time for me and she made sure that everything went as scheduled. Her and her team looked after me very well and made sure I was constantly updated. Marta is very professional, knowledgable, polite and efficient. Highly recommend and definately will use in the future.

Marta picked my house sale and purchase up half way through when her colleague left the company. From day 1 she was fantastic and put my mind at ease. She was quick to respond to any questions and did a great job reassuring me whenever I panicked about anything. I wouldn’t hesitate to call on Marta again or to recommend her to any friends or family who needed.

Carina represented me in my settlement agreement and provided exceptional support throughout the process.

One of a kind!

I highly recommend Marta to anyone who is looking for a conveyancer.

Over the past five years she has assisted me with multiple buy to let purchases, a residential purchase and most recently a property sale and I honestly would trust no one else!

Marta is consistently so thorough and knowledgeable, and I can always count on her to ensure things go as smoothly as possible or to be up front, honest and quick to find a solution if there’s been a hiccup along the way.

I really appreciate all the hard work she has put into every case that she has worked on for me.

Amazing solicitor who communicates

I would recommend Marta to anyone thinking of buying a new home. She would always keep me and the estate agents up to date and worked within really tight timeframes that we faced due to help to buy. Thank you Marta!

Supportive and Professional

Jayne handled my case in a professional and timely manner, whilst offering a personal approach.
A divorce can be a difficult process to understand and from the outset, Jayne made everything very easy to understand and highlighted clear facts and information that helped me understand.
Jayne was very knowledgeable and under a difficult situation, was a pleasure to deal with.

Support with employment issues

From my first phone call and face-to-face meeting I knew I was in safe hands. Emma was understanding and approachable throughout. The advice she gave was both professional and honest, and I had full confidence she would represent my interests well. I greatly appreciated her support and council throughout the process and would, without question, use her services again.
