Best conveyancing experience of my life

I was recommended to use O'Neill Patient by the Mortgage advisor who was assisting with my remortgage. I had no experience of the company at all, I was a little concerned that they were based 200 miles from where I lived and also that they requested that I work with them using their App.

I should not have had any concerns whatsoever. Their service was outstanding from start to finish; using their app I received and sent documents within minutes, I received confirmations within very quick time and I always knew exactly where I was at any time.
The whole process was completed within a couple of weeks. I could not be more pleased and would reccomend them unreservedly

Breached their contract

They seem too busy and overworked, email replies are usually 2-3 words long if they even reply the first time you ask about something.

So, if your case is slightly more complex than they'd like to, they'll make up a reason to drop you in breach of their own contract, refuse to reply to you, or refund your money.

I'm going to be seeking damages and raising the case with the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE

I am currently in the middle of a very painful situation with O'Neill Patient Solicitors, absolutely unprofessional bunch - messed up a totally chain free situation due to their incompetence. I only went with them due to L&C's recommendation, but how I wish I had read these comments on here/reddit or the Sunday Times article (as their Google and Trustpilot average scores are high, I bet most all are paid/incentivised reviews).

The situation is ONP completed my onboarding by doing their necessary KYC/AML checks at the onset and then essentially misplaced my KYC file / documents altogether, and they proceeded to do all the conveyancing work (at snail's pace I must add). After months of delays / unresponsive on emails, as both the sellers and us buyers were ready to exchange ONP started asking for additional documents related to KYC(!) such as previous payslips from previous employer (which takes 6-8 weeks at a large global firm). Strictly speaking no work should have been done before KYC process was completed but this just shows they just misplaced my documents and then started asking for additional documents in the last minute.

When I escalated higher up at ONP, the solicitor's manager emails saying all in hand, but then even the manager goes unresponsive to my simple questions, so every one at ONP just does not bother checking their emails (we are talking weeks of unresponsiveness here) and they can't be trusted with important documents let alone getting the work done.

Absolutely shambolic, and as many have said before AVOID O'Neill Patient LIKE THE PLAGUE!

AVOID! Very unprofessional, slow and HI RISK TO YOU!
Very slow to respond. Very confusing process - nothing has been explained to the end customer and thus completely mismanaging any expectations. Premiumly priced for a
less than satisfactory service. There are also hidden fees so 0 points for transparency regarding their online portal... Do some due diligence before appointing a solicitor for your property - we would NOT recommend ONP based on our experience. The solicitor we have been liaising with is called Aimee. No follow-up to mails. No follow-up to calls. A lack of a fundamental principle to delivering customer service... no management of expectations and lots of uncertainty around whether the agreed deadlines can be and will be met.

Update 13/01/2025 0 - the day before I am due to exchange and still no commitment or follow-up to advise on current status. At risk of losing the property due to the incompetence of ONP solicitors. My confidence in in this business meeting the agreed service deliverables as contracted? Very, very low... Save yourself the hassle and appoint a competent, qualified and firm that can deliver to customer requirements.

Extremely happy with the service we received from O'Neill Patient Solicitors! Our solicitor Harry Thompson kept us updated throughout the whole process he has been very helpful answering all of my questions in speedy time and explaining things when I didn't understand, he was ready to complete a month before the rest of the chain, always very polite,
Thank you Harry for your excellent service! Very reasonable charge for the service provided.

Total incompetence

No stars!! Naa Brown rang me and promised me that the £140k from our house sale would be in our account by 5pm that day, 20th September 2024. Nothing arrived!!! The landlord would not accept anything less than the 12 months rent upfront that we said we would pay. Nothing 21st September!!! We have been left penniless, homeless and have had to put our 4 dogs and 3 cats into boarding. We have had to borrow from friends to be able go buy food. We are currently staying with different friends. If that money is not in my account 23/09/24 I will be contacting the local police and reporting you to your regulators. I certainly will not be recommending you. You have caused mental trauma to not only me, my husband, my daughter but also to my 4 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 rabbits. I now do not know where we are going to live. The boarding is costing us £100 a day. Watch this space!!!!!

Lazy liars

Absolutely obismal performance from oneils from start to finesh. Laura Ellis imparticular is close to completely useless. Was never EVER available to be contacted regarding serious matters and NEVER returned calls, emails, messages complaints you name it. Quite literally a total circus. They tell lie after lie after lie, work at a PAINFULLY slow rate, avoid avoid avoid, absolutely horrendous experience trying to work with them. Hands down the worst form I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with.

Worst solicitors i have ever dealt with

Right from the very start the service and speed at which these worked has been awful.
Its taken 14 month just for a remortgage, I've had to reply to the mortgage company twice to extend the offer.
then on completion they paid a credit account off and the original mortgage but managed to over pay them by £5k. Something so simple on the settlement statement from the creditor.
Its taken me nearly a week to get in contact with the bank and creditor to chase the over payments up.
After completion all i got was i'd have to chase everything up.

I can not strongly advice against using this company enough

Avoid this law firm if you are a reputable mortgage broker.

I urge any reputable mortgage brokers to AVOID this law firm.


We were appointed a case worker who seemed to work with no urgency for a remortgage.


- countless chasing via telephone calls

- countless answer phone messages left for which she said she did not receive

- would finally get through and she said she couldn't remember what documents we needed to submit so would email us.

- waited a week for her to tell us despite chasing

- she then said as per previous email please send (she never sent the previous email!!!!!!!)

finally we get a completion date after 7 weeks


she submits all the payments on our behalf - one bounces back.


but in the meantime tells the mortgage company everything has been settled.


It has been 8 working days and one payment has still not been settled.

Our first mortgage payment came out despite one payment not being complete.


The debt that required paying has now accumulated interest owed and an additional monthly payment. We will be seeking compensation because of their lack of due diligence.


Who in their right mind confirms with mortgage company before all bills have been cleared.


Avoid avoid avoid

A heartfelt acknowledgment and gratitude are due to Carleigh Barker, who adeptly managed my case, who adeptly managed my case with a remarkable finesse, rendering the entire ordeal not merely seamless but expeditious.
Her unwavering commitment was nothing short of extraordinary; she consistently addressed my inquiries, pursued further clarifications with tenacity, transforming the purchasing experience into one of notable swiftness.
Thank you.

Actually completed in December 2024 but only just writing the review. Had the pleasure of having Mark Reid as my Conveyancing Solicitor and he was outstanding.

Only maybe ever probably spoke to Mark a few times (at the start & end of the house buying process) but in between Mark was always so quick to respond to any of my emails and enquiries. Makes like a lot easier when you have a Solicitor who knows what they are doing. Would definitely recommend and look to instruct in the future again.

Nancy Woolgar made the entire process feel smooth and manageable, always keeping me informed and providing sound advice every step of the way. Working with Nancy was an absolute pleasure. She was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, always quick to reply to any questions I had and prompt in submitting all necessary paperwork. Her efficiency and attention to detail gave me real peace of mind, knowing everything was being handled professionally and without delay. Thank you so much, especially given the SDLT deadline!.
