I requested a telephone conversation with Hegartys as we had a dispute with the neighbour/owner of land. Matthew Sidebottom rang and took 10 minutes or so and was happy to give us advice on the issue. If we do need to take matters further, because of the way Matthew dealt with our concerns, we will definitely ask this company to represent us. Thank you Matthew!

Hegarty solicitors we're very professional and helpful during the purchase of our first home. They always kept in contact with us and helped when we didn't understand some of the paperwork. Would definitely use them again.

Hegarty carried out the conveyancing for our recent property transactions, and in every instance kept us fully informed and acted efficiently and professionally throughout. We were particularly impressed with Nick - he was always quick to respond to messages, very clear with his explanations of how things were progressing, personable and highly professional. In the past I have experienced house purchases with solicitors at the opposite end of the scale, so I am familiar with the stress and anxiety that the process can often entail, but I can enthusiastically recommend Hegarty for making the whole process as smooth as possible. Thank you

Exceptionally friendly and professional throughout. Nick McCarthy, our Case Handler at Hegarty, provided an exceptional service from start to finish of our recent house sale. He made the entire process completely stress-free by giving us regular and prompt updates. All questions were answered with no fuss. We felt that nothing was too much trouble. Have unreservedly recommended Nick and Hegarty to friends and family. Really excellent, superb service. Thanks to the whole team.
