TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE!!

What a shambles this company is; they incorrectly paid HMRC SDLT and won't do anything about it. So I am now out of pocket by more than £5000 on a transaction that should NOT have been made.
I have been trying to get a refund from HMRC and when I this I'm near to it, it turns out that the TR1 form was NOT even dated - unbelievable and inept.
Don't go anywhere near ONP, as they really are ONE ILL PATIENT!!!!

Lovely experience

I had a great experience with Chiara. As a foreigner and a first-time home buyer in the UK, I had no prior experience and faced many challenges during the process. However, she was extremely patient, professional, and always took the time to clearly explain everything and guide me through every step. She was also very responsive, never delayed any matters, and handled everything with great care and attention to detail. Thanks to her dedicated support, I was able to successfully complete the purchase. Without her help, I might not have been able to secure this property. I truly appreciate her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor.

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!

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!!!!!

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.

Poor service

Very poor and highly unprofessional service offered. Amongst examples of poor service I had the misfortune to handle with this company were the following:
1) Assigned case manager very difficult to contact. No direct line and numerous emails and phone calls go unanswered and replied to 7-10 days after initial sending.
2) Responses when offered show lack of knowledge which seriously undermines confidence in the ability and competence of case worker in dealing with legal matters.
3) Paper work for transfer to ownership in Title Deed were not filed with the land registry a full 10 weeks after completion of house sale.
4) Indemnity Insurance to protect against rentcharge actions were not taken until I requested for proof of Indemnity Insurance certificate, a full 10 weeks after completion of house sale. This is despite the insurance being charged for.
Overall, a very experience and a firm I will never use again for legal services

Unprofessional and time wasters

I was referred to O Niel regarding my remortgage and transfer of title deed by my bank .They instructed to get the app for quick processing which I did. But then they sent emails to upload documents on app and on the app the names were wrong .Had to call multiple times but u never get to speak to your case handler and messages don't get passed quickly. So it was a bit annoying until it got sorted.but that Is not the worst part .
Worst part is that after about 3 weeks of sending documents to and fro they closed my application one fine day saying there policies have changed and they can't act on my behalf. They wasted so much of my time and energy. I then went to a local firm and it was quite straightforward for them .
I think they just got annoyed as I kept calling to sort out things. Very unprofessional.

The level of service was very good, but had two minor issues. When I called the office, I was on hold for 45 minutes before I spoke to someone and was then advised to email my bank details over, which is not secure. Then when they called me to transfer the money, they expected me to drop everything and do it immediately.

This has got to be the worst company that I have ever delt with,14 weeks and never got to speak with my solicitor,just the people on the phones, who write down whatever it is your ringing up for and say we will get someone to call ASAP, that never happens.you are never kept informed although they have an apt but never update it you ring up with a complaint nothing gets done, I rung up and I was furious because the seller of the property I was buying was threatening to pull out unless we could update him of our progress so i told them that i was far from happy with them and that i wanted them to stop working on my behalf and that i will go with another solicitor and I was going down the complaint routes, they immediately put me through to a supervisor called Taylor,when she came on the phone she said she had heard everything I said and she apologised so many times about the way we was treated that 5min later our progress had gone up 5 fold and we then knew where we was in the chain, she was the only one who took us seriously please if you need a solicitor don't go with these. And onp please don't respond with ,I'm sorry you wasn't happy please ring back aswe would like to discuss this further ,coz I could never get through to anybody when we needed you

Amazing service from the team, especially Alex Thomas! Buying a property can be stressful, but they’ve made the whole process so much easier and have been incredibly helpful throughout. All the solicitor work was handled through an app, which made everything convenient and efficient. They were always quick to reply on chat whenever we had questions or needed clarification. Highly recommend!

Disgusting.

I have never had so little trust and such a poor service.

To a point where - I haven't even had a reply asking for the complaint process :) . I did a remortgage through ONP referred by HSBC and a year later just wanted a title deed expedited. Sending emails to request it and chase up was like shouting into the void, I called and had no calls back. Eventually got through to Kerry (thank goodness - who helped me) but the number of emails and calls easily exceeded 10 and my solicitor was doing the same.

You can call multiple times, press 1 for a call back for it never to come. They answer the new service line though!

Was forced to use them through my lender. Worse solicitors you can imagine - not answering emails, not doing any work, and worse of all - returning the entire mortgage to the bank for no reason. Avoid like the plague.
