I originally dealt with Walker Foster Solicitors back in 2023 when purchasing my first property. They were very clear with there communication & always kept me in the loop.
Most recently when attempting to re-mortgage, i discovered that the land registry had still not registered my property, resulting in me being unable to complete the re-mortgage. I recently dealt with Hadiqa Farhat at walker foster who was very considerate about the situation i was in & provided me with options i diddnt even know existed.
After the sucsessful expedition of my land registry application & waiting a few weeks for it to be processed, i am now able to take out my mortgage & have peace of mind for the next few years.
This wouldnt have been possible without Hadiqa's proactive approach to the situation & her resillience when contacting the land registry.
Many thanks,
Lewis

My wife and I would just like to express our sincere thanks to Rachel and Sarah at Walker Foster Solicitors for their professionalism in dealing with the completion of our new wills and lasting power of attorneys this week.
With the law and procedures having changed substantially in the intervening years since we last made these provisions, it was refreshing to sit with Rachel who took the time to not only explain all the changes, but she also spoke in layman's language which assisted my wife and I greatly in deciding exactly how we wanted to update these extremely important documents.
We now have peace of mind in the knowledge that we have everything in place to cover whatever (and whenever) life throws at us in our advancing years .. And you can't put a price on that !!

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that Rachel and Sarah were able to help with facilitating the writing of your new wills and lasting power of attorney efficiently. We appreciate your kind words. Best regards, Walker Foster Limited
