Walker Foster I have now twice dealt with Susan in selling a relative's home and would not hesitate to instruct her again. She is clear, timely, effective, patient and friendly. At a difficult time for me, Walker Foster were kind and efficient and took all the worry away. Really impressed with the service I have received from Craig & the team at the Northallerton Branch.

Always easy to contact them and get instant replies by email or phone which is not the case with other solicitors I have used. Walker Foster is a long established and respected general practice law firm founded in 1919, with offices in Skipton, Barnoldswick, Silsden, Settle, Ilkley and Northallerton.

Liz and her team oversaw the sale of our apartment and purchase of our new cottage, and are a delight to deal with! Great communication and nothing was an issue. They processed all of it within a very short space of time. We hadn't had much luck with other local solicitor firms in the past, so dealing with Liz and her team with a fantastic experience - can't recommend them enough! Thanks Liz 5*

Highly impressed by the service we received from Walker Foster Solicitors. We completed on our sale and purchase in June 2021. I found Liz Hird and her secretary Lucy Greenwood really professional, responsive to calls/emails and most importantly honest. The property market seems to be at its peak and I'm sure all solicitors are extremely busy. However Walker Foster solicitors were always one step ahead of the rest and relieved a lot of the stress of moving house. I can't thank them enough! One last thing to add we complete in 9 weeks from offer to purchase, absolutely amazing! Thank you again for all your help. X

Walker foster solicitors are amazing. I used them to purchase my property and they were professional and were great at what they do. I dealt with Liz and Ian from start to finish And I could not fault them. I was worried about missing out on the stamp duty holiday but their hard work ensured we completed before the cut off date. Which I was so chuffed with as I saved a load of money and which I can now spend on my new home.

As I live in London all communication was either via phone and emails. Which again I cannot fault as they were always available every step of the way which again ensured the whole process was so smooth. If I needed something explained to me, or wanted an update I'd pick up the phone and ring Ian who would explain it so well which was so reassuring and to understand as a working class chap.

If your down in the south east or anywhere to be honest and are looking for a reliable, professional and great value solicitors to sort out your home purchase. Give these guys & girls a call and they will take care of the rest and leave you satisfied. I will definitely recommend them to friends and family as they are that great. I bought a leasehold property in the busiest time just before the stamp duty holiday was going to finish and the whole process took 6 weeks which according to my estate agent is bloody brilliant as most leasehold purchases can take 12 weeks to complete. Thank you Walker foster which I could give more then the 5* allowed.

Great service from Rachel in drafting our wills. She was extremely thorough and made sure we had considered everything and future proofed as much as possible. She was also a pleasure to deal with!

We were very fortunate to have Ian Haynes recommended to us by a family member, I genuinely don't think our house move would have gotten over the line in our required timeframe without his drive and diligence. Highly recommended.

We have been very lucky to find Ian Haynes. Having bought and sold houses we can honestly say he is the best. He keeps clients informed and nothing's too much trouble. His professionalism is superb and he makes the whole experience as easy as possible.
