Very happy to recommend this firm - I have recently completed two property sales, and both times I used Mariette Marren in Walker Foster’s Skipton office. Mariette was efficient, courteous and professional from start to finish, and was only too happy to help if ever I had a query. I would therefore not hesitate to recommend Mariette’s services to anyone searching for a friendly and approachable conveyancing solicitor for their property transaction. Many thanks once again Mariette for your 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.
