What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

For buyers and sellers of residential property, Farrellys Lawyers has built a steady following in Cairns. Repeat clients returning over many years for conveyancing describe a firm that handles purchases and sales with minimal fuss, keeping instructions clear and precise so that each step and what comes next is understood well in advance. Several reviewers highlight the professionalism and efficiency of the team, noting that matters are completed promptly and paperwork is correct, an especially valued quality for those buying or selling from interstate or overseas.

Named staff recur in accounts: Carmel is praised for her professional and capable approach, Nick is described as helpful and kind and willing to go beyond what was required, while Tracey and Papako are remembered for patient explanations and clear communication by phone. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is that questions are answered readily, including queries outside the firm's usual property work, and that pricing is considered fair rather than inflated. Friendly, prompt service across buying and selling homes is the theme that ties these accounts together.

In buying 36 Orton Ave, Kewarra Beach, Carmel from Faralleys got the job done professionally in time. October 2025 ,once again Farrallys have been excellent and professional with handling our sale of Orton Avenue. Sean Thorpe, who previously drifted around half a dozen different real estate businesses, has started his own agency and after six months of lies and nasal mining bullied, manipulated and controlled us into accepting a low offer for the sake of Orton Avenue. Thorpe's deal turned out to be a mess. The Thorpe nightmare continued with the buyers extending the finance cut off date three times despite Thorpe advising the buyers finance was pre-approved! Farrallys have been handling the Thorpe mess professionally and patiently. Bottom line, avoid Paradise Property, Thorpe's nightmare company but absolute definitely use Farrallys for conveyancing. .

Great service. Nick in particular is such a top fella and helpful guy. They don't try to overprice or rip off in my experience. Nick went above and beyond and credit to him for his hard work and kindness.

They communicated clearly and promptly throughout, ensuring I was informed at every stage. Their attention to detail was impressive, and they navigated potential challenges with ease, making the entire settlement process smooth and efficient. I felt confident in their capabilities and appreciated their proactive approach in addressing any issues that arose. I highly recommend Farrellys Lawyers for anyone needing reliable conveyancing services.
