This firm - 97%
National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

Easy smooth experience

I contacted Louise at Cartys with absolutely no clue what to expect when purchasing my first home. It’s fair to say it was the best most simple experience everything was done imminently and I was never left in the dark I knew everything that was going on as it was happening. Louise is very pleasant and I can tell she enjoys looking after her clients. I would absolutely recommend Louise for all aspects of work needed.

Southside Buy and Sell

Having used Sinéad for a previous property purchase, we knew this was who we wanted second time round. Her legal expertise and professionalism were invaluable in making us feel at ease and informed throughout the entire process. From point of offer to moving day, Sinéad kept in touch and answered any questions we had in a timely and professional manner. The paperwork side of things was absolutely flawless- If she could now come and help us find the toaster, that would be great! Thanks again Sinéad for everything.

Sinéad was a breath of fresh air!

Sinéad was a breath of fresh air to deal with. A fantastic solicitor with excellent legal knowledge. Sinéad was friendly, approachable and always available when we needed her.
Would highly recommend Cartys and, in particular, Sinéad.

Seamless and easy property sale!

Sinead has now sold 2 properties for me and I knew I could relax from the minute Cartys were appointed.

Sinead controlled everything for from start to finish, and she made sure I was fully up to speed with all developments at every stage of the transaction!

Thank you so much, Sinead!

Legal Matters

I recently used Sinead for a legal matter on property, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were easy to deal with, responsive in their communication, and highly professional.
Every step was clearly explained, and their knowledge of the legal process gave me complete confidence throughout. They made what could have been a stressful task refreshingly smooth. Everything was arranged just as I had hoped, with no surprises or setbacks.
I would happily recommend their services to anyone needing assistance with property legal matters.
