Sale of 35 Mosley Street

Anna was extremely professional alongside being very considerate and personable.

Anna helped us understand exactly what was happening regarding the sale of our property as well as supporting us with how it impacted the purchase of our new property. There were some tricky and emotional times that were linked to processes outside Anna and Walker Foster’s remit that Anna did everything she could within her professional boundaries to keep us up to date and reassured.

I would highly recommend Anna and the team.

Green farm purchase

Despite a slow start to preparatory work to push forward to a clearly defined projected completion date estimate, Anna became increasingly communicative, proactive and personable as we worked towards completion of a sale which involved some unusual problems. Our heartfelt thanks to her and her walker foster team for the much needed professionalism and knowledge to get over all hurdles...

We used the conveyancing solicitor Anna Robinson for our house sale and purchase of a new home recently. The sale and purchase went though quickly, and when a last minute hitch arose due to a sellers foreign POA, Anna worked tirelessly to complete on the day we had prearranged. We would definitely use Anna again. Thank you.
