We used Walker Foster as they were local and we have dealt with Ian Haynes before.
We were new to Lily and Stuart but Lily was excellent from minute one. Kept in touch. Helped with queries answered emails and telephone calls and almost single-handedly dealt with the sale of our property. A refreshing experience and we can’t thank her enough. Would definitely recommend Walker Foster

Dealing with Walker Foster Solicitors and in particular Emily Throup and Sarah Bright was easy and straightforward. Emily and Sarah were clear and polite in their communications with us. Emily was very driven and pushed to move things forward with the sale while providing us with all the relevant information, as well as telling us exactly what we needed to do clearly and concisely. Emily and Sarah were always ahead of the other parties in the chain and they were easy to get in touch with by phone or email. We would strongly recommend using Walker Foster Solicitors and in particular Emily and Sarah.

I had dealt with WF previously and had a good experience (residential) so it only made sense for me to use them again when acquiring a commercial property. I was disappointed due to:
- was not fully kept up to date.
- the lady that was dealing with me was rude.
- I sensed WF was very money hungry.
- I did most of the chasing myself (even though I was paying them to do this).
When they invoiced me over 10% of the actual sale I was shocked. If you want to overpay and do most of the chasing yourself then reach out to them. I will NOT use them again. Sadly, the owner's mindset of money grabbing filters through to the team.
