What if i'm Not based in dublin or roscommon?

We offer a nationwide service and we can act for anyone in the sale, purchase or re-mortgage of a property in the Republic of Ireland. The likelihood is that we will only need to meet you once in person when you are buying or selling (to sign the contracts and closing documents) and indeed only once when you are re-mortgaging a property (to sign the loan documentation) so there is no overbearing burden on you to continuously meet with us in person. 

With an office in Boyle, Co. Roscommon and in Stillorgan, Co. Dublin, we offer a flexible system of appointments and meetings to best suit the needs of our clients and if you cannot make it to one of our offices to meet us, its likely that we will be able to meet you somewhere that is convenient for both of us. For example, we have acted for a number of clients in Galway, Limerick and Cork and we've been able to arrange with them to have documents signed electronically .  

Don't just rule us out if we don't have an office in your county, call us and we can discuss how we can help you. Don't pay more money where you don't have to. 

Why choose roe solicitors ?

Here at Roe Solicitors, we make it our priority to keep all of our clients up to date in all aspects of their conveyancing matter with jargon-free terminology, allowing you to concentrate on the practical aspects of buying, selling or re-mortgaging your property. We will also assess survey reports, complete any necessary searches on the property, explain the terms and conditions of the mortgage offer and check the title. 

A qualified solicitor will be handling your conveyancing matter from start to finish and it will not be left in the hands of a legal executive. We will answer and return all calls and you will be given the mobile number for the solicitor dealing with your matter so you can contact them as and when you have a query or need to speak to them.
