Stay away from this company...
All seemed well at first, I was happy with the first guy I spoke to and explained what I required. I then spoke to the solicitor acting on my behalf, she seemed nice, quoted me £500 +VAT to carry out my matter... things went down hill very quickly from here.
I then shortly after this I received a bill for £720 to be paid immediately before further negotiations where to be carried out for a further £500 +VAT... this was for 1 phone call, 2 letters and a handful of emails.
After asking for clarification as to why our agreed quote has suddenly (and unexpectedly

I would not use these. They done deal with anything quick. My grandaughter has been waiting 6 montg for the rest if her money for a sale of a house which got sold in February. Absolutely shocking.. got a lump sum in May and still waiting for the rest of the payment. Very unresponsive and unreliable a s a law fire. 30 grand is a lot of money to hold on to. Just because they waiting for a gas firm to get back to them. This has taken 3 months for them to sort it. But still not sorted.. how and who is getting the interest on all this money. Think it might have to take it further.

Critical: Professionalism
This is a firm I used for many years with excellent service. I went back this year only to be given wrong advice. When I questioned them they withdrew from the case billing me for the pleasure. When I asked for a meeting with the partners they sent the account to debt collection and added fees for that. Still waiting for resolution.

We originally used Swinburne when buying a new build property 10+ years ago, and looking back I think that was probably a mistake to trust a builder... however, they where amazing. I've caught them in the news regularly increasing in size and with my current move we thought we try them again. Absolutely flawless. They are quick, attentive and very friendly. I have never have any issues getting answers and I'm assigned a dedicated solicitor.
Can't rate them highly enough. We sold a house with another company a few years ago and it was terrible, never again. Swinburne from here on in. They are usually
