I can't recommend John and Mary with Property Solicitor enough. You can tell how experienced they are when it came to dealing with all parties for the sale of our old home and purchase of our new one.

A lot of people always complain about the fees associated with home sales and purchases but we went through a few hiccups and they were able to guide us through and it really helped settle some nerves. We were dreading dealing with slow replies but they were on it.

We’ve now used JF Walsh for both buying and selling a home — first over 7 years ago when we purchased our original property, and again this year for a sale and purchase.

On both occasions, John provided an excellent service. He was extremely thorough in examining the property we were buying, gave us prompt and clear updates throughout, and managed the entire process with professionalism and care.

His costs were exactly in line with expectations, and he played a key role in ensuring our sale and purchase were completed within the same timeframe, which was hugely important for us.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend JF Walsh to anyone, and we will certainly use their services again in the future.

Used JF Walsh Solicitors in purchasing my first home, great service, good communication and prompt replies to emails. Would recommend to friends and family.

We were working with John Walsh property solicitors while purchasing our first property. The full process lasted a few months which was very challenging for us but their support and guidance helped us to understand each part in the process. Vendor's solicitor and the management company were having a few issues and we were able to push both towards closing. Once the final details were gathered we were in the property within 2 weeks. At all times, John was very professional and was providing the updates as information was available to him, he was very thorough in checking all possible shortcomings related to the property purchase and put us at ease that we were making the right decision.

I cannot stress enough how unhappy I am with services provided by this office. They describe themselves as "Property Solicitors - low cost fees" on their webisite, but the costs are not low. There was an additional charge not included in the quote and I was also charged for a sale that could not be completed due to the withdrawal of buyers. I have not been informed by the solicitor that withdrawal just before signing the agreements is even allowable by the low.
I was unemployed and on a small Illness Benefit payment. As a consequence of the withdrawal I went into debt, having to continue paying mortgage for an apartment I no longer lived in. The solicitor, knowing the details of my situation, demanded immediate payment of almost 1k.
In addition, he made the preparation of the contract for the new buyer conditional on the payment of the said amount, i.e. he delayed the sale, knowing how much I needed the funds from the sale of the apartment to pay off the debt that had already accrued.
I negotiated debt rescheduling with two other companies at the time and considering my situation they agreed to do so, but not this solicitor. He showed a complete lack of understanding and empathy. The payment was postponed after the real estate agent intervened. It added an enormous amount of stress to an already stressful situation.
At times, they were no acting promptly. Some of my emails and phone calls were left unanswered. When the solicitor was on holidays or was working from home, the case was barely progressing. I was the person who sent queries to the management company. I was also the person who made sure they stick to the set closing date. To my amazement, after the closing date, I learned that the mortgage had not been paid. Due to the delay I paid mortgage for a few days the following month, when the apartment already belonged to the new buyer!
The sales proceeds were to be paid to my bank account on the following working day and they were not. I insisted that the payment be made without further delay. Only then they queried the format of bank account details provided a week earlier, which further delayed the transfer. After finalising the sale I contacted the bank only to learn that they created an overpayment of over 900 Euro! In order to get it back, I had to make few phone calls send a letter. This should have been all done by the solicitor’s office. I should not be dealing with this. This is what they got paid for. They had one job to do…
Every day of the delay on their side was costing me money and as the sales proceeds were transferred to my bank account after the set date, I am also loosing lots on FX differences. They could have reviewed my bank details on the day I emailed them and request the final figures from the bank as at the closing date. They did not stick to the closing date and repaid a random amount to the bank. This is disgraceful. I still haven’t received the refund cheque from the bank.
They don’t act in the interest of their clients. They act in their own interest only.
The man who should be acting in our interest acted to our detriment.

Propertysolicitor.ie is a trading name of JF Walsh Solicitors.
JF Walsh represented the vendor during our recent house purchase.
It took them 4 months from Sale agreed to issue contracts.
Upon signing contracts, it emerged the Vendors were not entitled to sell the house due to legacy issues with the deeds, which had either not been checked or disclosed by JF Walsh until the point of exchange. This issue took a further 3 months to resolve.
Throughout the process JF Walsh appeared reluctant to communicate and did not appreciate parties making contact to progress the sale. This has been confirmed by other stakeholders involved.
Overall, JF Walsh were a considerable factor in a house sale taking 10 months to complete.
