Great experience!
We were buying our first home and had a few hiccups along to the way to do with the chain we were in, Claire was fantastic explaining everything as we went and really put us at ease throughout it all! She really made the whole process as stressful as free as possible!

Excellent service
I recently used Walker Foster Solicitors for a transfer. The transfer was not straight forward and had its implication's, to which Claire from WF dealt with in a timely and very professional manner. I was kept fully informed of any updates throughout. The whole process was made hassle free saving me the stress and headaches. I would thoroughly recommend and would use WF again.
Thank you.

A Fantastic Experience
Selling a house and negotiating a chain is stressful. Claire went over and above to keep us informed, communicate with us and offer sensible advice.
I can’t recommend her highly enough. She made a difficult situation bearable and we felt she was always on our side. If she was unavailable due to annual leave she ensured we had a named contact to act on our behalf and was always reassuring and sympathetic. Excellent service - thank you.

Good conveyancing service
Overall I was very happy with the service I received from Walker Foster. It would have been helpful if some of the paperwork could have been completed electronically given that I was selling a property remotely from several 100 miles away. I would also have liked more proactive engagement - quick update emails, even to say that we were still waiting to hear from X or Y - it felt like I was always chasing.

She kept us informed every step of the way and always did what she said she would.
