How Cartys Compares

Value for money

!

Limited data.

This firm - 97%
National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.

This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of Cartys on ReviewSolicitors.

As part of our review questionnaire we ask reviewer questions about the value for money they felt they received by using Cartys. These questions include:

  • Value for money (a rating of 1-5)
  • How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?
  • Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

House Move

This review is for a different branch.

Third time we have used Cartys for conveniencing and again found their services excellent. Sinead went the extra mile to make sure all legal documents were in place, even although she had to deal with a very obstructive and slow solicitor from a Glasgow firm of solicitors.
Would highly recommend Cartys for conveniencing.

Fantastic service when selling my property

This review is for a different branch.

I recently sold my house with the help of Sinéad, and I couldn’t be happier with the service she provided. There were a few stressful moments along the way, but Sinéad handled everything with professionalism, courtesy, and attentiveness from start to finish. She kept me informed throughout the process and made things as smooth as possible. I truly felt supported the whole time. I would absolutely use Sinéad again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and reassuring solicitor.

Advised and assisted me with executory matter including house sale, even finding me an excellent estate agent. Highly recommend Jim. At a really difficult time he made the process painless and was ready with good advice at every stage.

I would highly reccomend Louise & Jim at Cartys. They made the sale and purchase of property smooth and stress free. Louise was very quick to email me back and keep me in the loop which put me at ease.

No news is good news.

This review is for a different branch.

Used the firm to purchase a property. My experience was rather smooth, I had no issues which is likely why I didn't hear often from the firm. I had to call initially to find information out as I was hearing more through the sellers estate agent opposed to either parties solicitors. So the only suggestion I would make is around reassurance on process etc at the front end so there is no doubts (as it's not often I've needed a solicitor) - the move date felt unconfirmed right up to the week of estimated move, which I suppose can happen, but otherwise Louise is really helpful and reassuring when needed to make contact and I would use Carty's again.

This review is for a different branch.

Sinead has dealt with several property transactions on my behalf now and has always been very fast, efficient and thorough with all transactions. From initial instruction to chasing other solicitors and examining all information before breaking down to myself and highlighting anything untoward all within a timely manner. I would highly recommend Sinead.
