F.A. Edward Orr Solicitors
Please contact us by telephone, email, or using our online form and one of our fully qualified solicitors will be able to assist you with free initial advice. Founded as Wallace & Co in 1897, F.A. Edward Orr Solicitors is one of the oldest family run independent law firms in Northern Ireland.

We have established and maintained an excellent reputation throughout Banbridge and Belfast for providing clear, friendly and cost effective legal advice to both private people and local businesses.In 2019 due to continued growth the firm incorporated to form Edward Orr Solicitors Limited with Mark Bethel joining F.A. Edward Orr as Directors and Shareholders.
Services
Edward graduated in Law from Queen's University Belfast in 1979 and successfully completed the Institute of Professional Legal Studies, solicitor course in 1980 before joining his family firm, Wallace & Co. Edward has extensive experience in residential sales, purchases and re-mortgages and commercial conveyancing including development work, landlord and tenant.
Mark left the firm to specialise in property law supervising a leading property team. Mark worked extensively with clients, mortgage lenders, estate agents and financial advisors on a broad range of property transactions. Mark assisted private clients in regards to residential sales, purchases, re-mortgages, co-ownership stair-casing and buyouts.
We are members of all major lending and Co-Ownership panels and provide a fixed fee quotation at the outset of the transaction with no hidden extras. The majority of our transaction can be completed hassle free by email, telephone and post or in person if you so wish. We work hard on your behalf to ensure the transaction moves forward quickly allowing you to purchase, sell or remortgage at the time that suits you best.
Making a will is essential to ensure loved ones are provided for when we are no longer around. Approximately 60% of the population of Northern Ireland haven't made a Will. The process is straightforward and our solicitors can advise on a case-by-case basis. We strongly recommend clients who are residing with a partner or in the process of getting divorced to make a will.
In Northern Ireland if someone dies with an estate over 10,000, a grant of probate will be required to transfer the assets to the beneficiaries of the deceased. F.A. Edward Orr Solicitors are happy to provide free advice on the process, the costs involved and if instructed can administer the estate.

Mark was great to work with and kept me on the right track, raising valid concerns, ultimately ensuring I bought the right property with no issues afterwards. Friendly and supportive throughout and I’d highly recommend to anyone 👍

Used Mark for multiple transactions and cannot fault him. Reasonably priced, quick to respond and raised valid points, how conveyancing should be, makes you feel like only client at all times, five star service. Would 100% recommend. Wouldn’t look any further.

Mark has handled the conveyancing for my mortgage renewal, the sale of my house, the sale of my partner's house and the purchase of a joint property. The service has been faultless throughout. Mark gives excellent advice and his communication throughout the process is second to none. Having used many different solicitors in the past I would look no further than Edwards & co. in future. Mark provides an efficient, professional, reliable and friendly service at very reasonable cost. Highly recommended.

Mark dealt with our sale and purchase extremely effectively. He offers communication that suits the client's needs, not the more usual Mon - Fri 9 to 5.
He offered an agreed price which was very competitive.
Highly recommended.

Dealt with Mark in purchasing my house - his communication is excellent, he is quick and efficient. He sorted every issue quickly and always kept me in the loop. He couldn't do enough to help me, 100% would recommend.

Have had two experiences with Mark Bethel at this office and both times the service has been exceptional. I know he is very busy but even with a high workload the communication and attention to detail are always on point. If you are purchasing a property I would look no further

Brilliant service. Friendly, helpful, approachable and hassle free. I used mark for purchase and sale, the whole process from start to finish was smooth. I would highly recommend. Took the stress out of moving. I had a bad experience from my previous solicitor. I can honestly say Mark was flexible and easy to contact. Thanks very much.
