Nicholas Walsh - HD Keane Solicitors on O' Connell Street is brilliant.

We used Sonya Kennedy, she was in Parnell Street at the time but I think she may have moved out to the other office in Ardkeen.

She did our convayencing for us and from the time we viewed our house and put in an offer to moving in took just under a month. We weren't in a chain.

The best solicitor in Waterford is Mark Walsh in Peter O'Connor & Son. Very practical. Maybe, thats because he is from Waterford.

I know this is an old thread but for anyone looking in the future, I have found MM Halley Solicitors in Waterford very good.

Dealt with William, very professional and always attentive.

I found them to be the exact opposite. Have they moved to new premises opposite Walsh Park?

Guys I'm a first time buyer and in the process of looking at a few places at the moment but Im in the same boat as the OP. Need to get a solicitor soon so has anyone any updated recommandations as this thread is a few years old?

Someone that wont cost a fortune and knows what they're doing, because I certainly don't.:o

Thanks:)

I don't mind ringing around but getting a recommendation of one or two people is worth alot.

Sonya Kennedy of Purcell Cullen Kennedy did our conveyancing and we had moved into our home within a month of our initial viewing.

Thanks for that currently looking for solicitor for house purchase in Waterford. I cant use my own solicitor as he is from same firm as the sellers HD Keane & Co.

Any fresh recommendations?
