How Cartys Compares

Value for money

!

Limited data.

This firm - 96%
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:

  • 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.

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.

Fast, friendly and efficient !

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.

Excellent Experience

This review is for a different branch.

Selling a property for the first time I was very unsure what to expect or how the process would be. Sinèad was very professional, approachable and helpful, explaining the full process and ensuring regular updates and expectations of the next steps.

Sinèad made the whole process very smooth and stress free. I would definetly recommend Sinèad to anyone buying or selling property.

Buying and selling my flat

This review is for a different branch.

I was fortunate to be recommended to Sinead by Mortgage Hub back in 2021. She handled the purchase of my flat that year and, more recently in 2025, managed its sale. Throughout both transactions, Sinead provided exceptional service and demonstrated outstanding professionalism.

She offers fair and transparent pricing, never increasing her fees even when the sale becomes challenging. Her dedication is evident in her availability always ready to provide advice and assistance via phone and email.

My experience with Sinead has been excellent, and I will undoubtedly turn to her again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor.

Louise acted on behalf of us for the sale and purchase of our properties. Her communication with us was great throughout the transactions and helped keep our minds at ease during a stressful time. The purchase of our property encountered many difficulties that Louise was able to rectify and keep us updated of the progress. We would highly recommend working with Louise and will be requesting her assistance with any future requirements.
