Janet, thank you very much for your help and excellent service. You are fantastic.

Property

We recently used O’Reilly Stewart for the purchase and sale of property and will be utilising their services for wills and POAs due to the quality of service received.

Thomas and Paula were both very professional, responsive, and knowledgeable during our dealings with them and took time to answer our questions thoroughly.

I would highly recommend O’Reilly Stewart and Thomas specifically to anyone requiring a solicitor.

Property

Andrea and Janet were brilliant and turned around everything so quickly. Thanks again.

Mr and Mrs K

This was an incredibly smooth process in a potentially stressful situation. Throughout then whole transaction I was kept fully informed and even on completion day when there were issues further up (along??) the chain I was kept informed and completely reassured. I was also fully aware of all costs involved in the process and the financial implications of decisions regarding the sale and purchase. While I hope not to be moving any time soon I will be very happy to recommend O’Reilly Stewart to all my friends and family. Thank you to Andrea and Janet for all their support.

Property

I was really impressed with the service provided. The transaction was completed very efficiently under a tight deadline and her communication throughout was excellent. I would definitely recommend!

Property

Just wanted to say a big thank you for all of your support in navigating me through the house move! I really appreciated knowing that I could lift the phone, and you were able to sort out any concerns there and then. Thank you to you and to the team there at O’Reilly Stewart for your excellence and professionalism.

Property

I found Andrea to be extremely helpful in navigating me through the process. She was always quick to reply to any calls, explain processes I didn’t understand, to follow up on any requests and to reassure me that all was on schedule. My meeting with Janet was friendly and professional, putting me completely at ease. I would have no reservations in using O’Reilly Stewart again or in recommending it to friends and family.

Property

As first time buyers we were nervous about the whole process but Judy and Chloe were fantastic! They clearly explained everything and were proactive in chasing up the developers to get things sorted. They really work hard and advocate for you, They’re truly solicitors who you know are on your side. Thank you!

Property

I just wanted to email you and thank you and your team for all your help . As usual you guys handled everything very professionally and without any problems

Property

Paula and Thomas did a fantastic job of completing my house purchase process quick and in a professional manner. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for specialist property solicitors.

Property

From start to finish Thomas and Paula were first class and never had to be chased for any reason. Excellent service would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thanks!

Property

Thomas and Paula were very professional and helpful all through the process of buying our house. They made everything seem so easy and straightforward and communication was very good. I highly recommend O’Reilly Stewart Solicitors.

Property

Delighted with the service received from start to finish with my house sale. Janet Williamson and Andrea Crothers were professional and informative at every stage of the process. I appreciated your patience as my house took so long to sell and when the house sold you went above and beyond to ensure completion happened quickly and smoothly. Thank you for everything!

Property

Thomas Greenaway carried out the conveyancing for my recent house purchase. From start to finish he kept me updated and worked hard to meet deadlines and negotiate with other parties. My purchase was very complicated with a lot of delays and lack of engagement from vendor etc. Thomas and his team did their very best to overcome these obstacles. Paula Whitford was also very helpful. The fee for their services was very competitive. I would highly recommend this law firm.

Property

A special thanks to Thomas and Paula. Thomas kept us sane throughout a very stressful time trying to sell our house and buy our new one. A cool head when it was needed, always on hand to offer advice and he kept on top of the process from start to finish. Cannot recommend him enough.

Mr and Mrs C

We felt totally supported throughout this process and O’Reilly Stewart dealt with all stress. The staff were very understanding and helpful particularly Dolores and Thomas.

Property

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Thomas for your sincere work. I wish to thank you for your kindness and you dealt with me in a professional way and showed patience and understanding during my many enquiries. If I ever buy another property again you will be the first to know.

Thank you very much for your hard work! I will definitely recommend your excellent service.

Property

Excellent experience from start to finish. O’Reilly Stewart kept me well informed throughout the purchase and process and the transaction completed quickly without any issues. Highly recommended.

Property

Andrea has been a star, keeping us fully informed throughout the process and remaining professional and calm at all times. She was always very quick to respond to us too. Janet was also very helpful and easy to deal with. We used O’Reilly Stewart based on a recommendation from McClure Macmillan and are delighted that we did! Mr & Mrs O’N

Property

I would recommend O’Reilly Stewart Solicitors - especially Judy Rose - to my family and friends. I felt very looked after by this professional and friendly team and couldn’t fault them at any point. They put me at ease and nothing was ever a hassle to them.

Property

I would like to thank Solicitor Thomas Greenaway and Paula Whitford for handling the whole legal process of buying my home. As a tenant of the Housing Executive, the opportunity of buying my Council Home via Shared ownership became a possibility as an AFFORDABLE route! I encourage NIHE tenants not to miss their OPEN opportunity of TAKING THE SHARED OWNERSHIP PATH of their Council Homes! I highly recommend Thomas and Paula from O’Reilly Stewart Solicitors to help tenants or anyone to start the journey towards full ownership as I have done it successfully!

Property

Great service. Very professional and fantastic communication throughout the entire process. Thanks to all the team that helped along the way and made it so simple and stress free.

This is my first contact with this company. Fully professional and expert legal assistance in purchasing my first house. Paula Whitford and Thomas Greenaway deserve praise as they did a great job for me in a very short time.

I worked with Thomas Greenaway and Paula when purchasing a house. I could not have been any happier with the service I received. I would recommend O’Reilly Stewart to anyone.

Property

Working with Thomas and Paula at O’Reilly Stewart has been bliss as a first-time buyer. Both are very approachable and easy to reach out too. They are so organised, professional and diligent at what they do. They were able to process my completion on time and help ease the stress of home buying. I would definitely work with O’Reilly Stewart in my future endeavours.

Property

Thomas could not have been more helpful. So thorough and explained everything so well. Many thanks to the team couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Property

I would use O’Reilly Stewart again if buying another home and would also recommend friends and family to do so. Thomas and Paula have both been very professional and helpful. The communication from them is brilliant and makes you feel listened to and valued. Working with O’Reilly Stewart was the smoothest part of the first-time buyer process.

Property

Thomas Greenaway and Paula Whitford assisted us with the purchase of our house, and I cannot recommend them enough. Calm, professional and extremely well organised, they are definitely the people you want to help you when purchasing or selling a property. They were always on the other end of the phone if we had any questions to ask which was great for taking the stress out of everything.

Property

During, what was more often than expected, a challenging and stressful journey - your advice, guidance and support (on top of the day-to-day duties of your jobs) was very much appreciated. We are very grateful for everything.

Property

Very professional, smooth and clear service. Thomas was accessible always and was so helpful throughout. The moving process was made so much easier because we had an excellent Solicitor.

Mr and Mrs C

Property

Smooth and easy process from start to finish. I particularly commend Andrea Crothers who answered all emails and queries promptly.

Property

Highly recommend O’Reilly Stewart Solicitors. Thomas is a fantastic solicitor and took care of us buying our first house and couldn’t have been more helpful, kept in-touch with us throughout the whole process and was more than adaptable to suit us wherever necessary..

Property

Judy was my solicitor for buying my first house, and again for negotiating the sale transfer of the house following a relationship breakdown. Throughout, she was excellent. She remained prompt, professional and made something very difficult seem very easy. She even managed to spot a clause overlooked by my mortgage advisor meaning that a hefty early repayment fee could be avoided by agreeing to complete just a few weeks later. I couldn’t recommend her enough, she’s a pleasure to work with.

Property

Highly recommend O’Reilly Stewart Solicitors. Thomas is a fantastic solicitor and took care of us buying our first house and couldn’t have been more helpful. Kept in touch with us throughout the whole process and was than adaptable to suit us whenever necessary.
