Licensed Conveyancer at Walker Foster Limited

Sarah Bright

Licensed Conveyancer

Sarah started her conveyancing career in 1999 at a large Bradford firm as an input agent. She then moved to a large Leeds firm to work in their remortgage department, but quickly realised her skills were better suited to sales and purchases. She was later offered the opportunity to work for a small firm, still Leeds based, and developed a knowledge for different types of conveyancing matters, eg transfers of part, new builds and transfer of equity, before deciding to qualify through the CLC route. Sarah started her CLC qualification in 2008, via distance learning, passing the first two modules, before continuing in 2009 at Bradford College, finally qualifying in 2012. After the birth of her second child, Sarah took a job closer to home, helping her to develop good working relationships with local agents and solicitors, which in turn helps with achieving the end goal of completion for the clients. Having recently joined Walker Foster, Sarah is really looking forward to using her strong local knowledge as well as the relationships she has built with clients over the years. When not at work, Sarah loves nothing more than spending time with her young children, cooking and the great outdoors. She is a keen runner, being part of the Wharfedale running club and has completed two marathons.

Great solicitor for buying and selling a property

5

Sarah has been brilliant with the sale and purchase of our house. She has responded quickly to queries to keep the sales moving. She has helped to chase others in the chain who were not as quick at answering questions.
Would recommend Sarah and Walker Foster. They are professional and were a good price when we got a few quotes from other solicitors.

Sarah has helped us many times over the years, from our first house, to helping the mother in law move from Scotland, our 400 year old family home as well as land purchases.. great low fuss, speedy yet thorough service.

Disappointing service

2

I found Sarah at first to be really helpful but as the process went on and there was a lot of delays and a real lack of communication

Some of the issues encountered were

We were sent somebody else’s tenancy agreement, which is a big GDPR breach

An important document we hand delivered to the Silsden office was lost

They forgot to send the contract out to us to send

I felt if I didn’t contact them I wouldn’t hear from them - lack of updates

We got there in the end but felt they were more reactive rather than proactive which is very disappointing

Smooth experience with my first property

5

Sarah and all the team that I met at the Silsden branch were great at guiding myself and my partner through a completely new experience in a very efficient mannner which led to the full process taking under 8 weeks. If there was ever a time I was unsure about how to proceed Sarah was only a phone call or email away and was great at providing responses. I would recommend Sarah and Walker Foster to anyone who is interested in this service
