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 near the cheapest prices as well on comparison sites.
As discussed, I attach a copy of your account and completion statement, to enable you to transfer funds to me, in advance of completion on 15th November 2019.
In order to exchange contracts, the point at which the contract becomes legally binding, I require you to transfer to me the deposit monies, in the sum of £ that is, 10% of the purchase price.
Please let me know if you have any queries regarding this email.
Regards
David
He then added If I wish to drop out then no problem and he would refund the deposit, I agreed on this and 15 minutes later called me back advising the date originally set was good to go if I still wanted to go ahead. I Agreed to go with it. Back on track again.
I must say during this whole procedure I have sent numerus emails to him and only replied back to 1 email the level of customer care is very disappointing indeed alongside JW Wood (Chester le Street - Consett - Stanley) also very disappointed in them to as they seemed very unhelpful when we called for updates. Its took over 3 month for a cash sale to complete with no problems on both my side and the sellers side.
I highly recommend you find a company who actually cares about their clients
I don’t leave negative feedback unless I think I got a bad deal.

Absolutely thrilled with them
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) had incised dramatically I was responded with "The fee estimate is an estimate only not a fixed fee for this work." I was then shocked to be demanded £720 to be paid now before they will then close my file... 2 weeks before Christmas, and without making any progress in my case, in fact my case is in a worse situation now than it was before i hired Swinburne Maddison to "Help" me.
Stay away from these guys, shady to say the least.
