Reading these reviews makes me think how they have 5 stars and we were dealing with the wrong solicitors. We used them to sell and buy. When we sold our house, everything was good and they responded in reasonable time but when we completed our sell, they held on to our money because apparently Shane was on holidays, even though they knew we were completing on that day and we had to wait over the weekend to even get our money which was absurd. We thought maybe this is a one off error and decided to give our business again for our purchase and this was a huge mistake. Firstly our purchase for a chain free home was nothing but. They waited about 2 months before even starting to chase for the deeds or documents from the other solicitors. We were waiting then for further progress and when we asked them for updates only to be told process hasn't even started. And when they even stopped twiddling on their thumbs, the response times for updates is none and you'd ask for updates and don't get replies for week or two, which this should be a simple 5 minute email. We had to keep chasing them through estate agents and the sellers solicitors to get anything moving. When it came to the day of completion for our purchase, the response times were at a speed of light because they were getting their money so ofcourse that's when you hear from them. I normally don't leave reviews to not tanish a business but my god, you'd think they are doing the job for free when you're paying high fees for a decent service.

We had an amazing experience with S G Murphy Solicitors in Belfast while handling the conveyancing for our house purchase. From the very beginning, Lisa and Shane kept us informed at every stage, ensuring we understood the process and had complete peace of mind. Their communication was excellent, and they always made time to answer any questions we had. When we met with Shane, he went above and beyond, giving us more time than expected and even offering free legal advice on an unrelated matter—something you don’t see often! His expertise, patience, and genuine commitment to helping clients truly stood out. What’s even more impressive is that their affordable pricing does not mean a compromise on service. Instead, it reflects their ethos of making high-quality legal support accessible and client-focused. If you need a reliable, professional, and approachable solicitor for buying or selling a property, S G Murphy Solicitors is the one to go to. Highly recommended!

Very disappointed with this solicitor’s firm. First time buyer trying to purchase a property in NI. They did not respond to my queries, solicitor was never available, they did things contrary to my instructions, did not revert to me with seller’s response for several weeks, I had to keep chasing, and as a result, the seller has pulled out. I’ve invested so much money that this is a huge disappointment. I will be making a complaint to the housing ombudsman and the solicitor’s regulation authority.

We recently completed the purchase of our home with the assistance of Shane and his wonderful team, Lisa and Shannon. From the very beginning, they were outstanding in explaining the entire process to us in a clear and concise manner. As first-time homebuyers, we had numerous questions and concerns, but each was patiently addressed with great expertise and understanding. Communication was excellent throughout. Shane, along with Lisa and Shannon, kept us updated regularly, ensuring we always knew what to expect next. Their prompt responses and proactive updates made us feel supported and confident that our purchase was in good hands. Their professionalism, combined with a personal touch, truly set them apart. We highly recommend Shane, Lisa, Shannon, and the entire team to anyone in need of reliable and knowledgeable solicitors for their home-buying journey. Thank you for making this experience smooth and stress-free!
