Guest Walker & Co Guest Walker is a leading and established firm of solicitors based in York specialising in commercial and residential property law and life planning. There are several features that can define a boundary such as a fence, wall, hedge, or it can even be the edge of a driveway. Typically, these can be the cause of heated boundary disputes between neighbours.

Something you never see on a solicitors' homepage is a reference to fees - until now that is. Many many thanks Vicky for your patience with me during this recent purchase and my most unfortunate simultaneous illness.

We recently used Guest Walker Solicitors to buy our first home. The experience with Vicky was brilliant and I could not recommend enough. It was a stressful few months but Vicky was always very informative and responsive to our calls/emails and endless questions. Thanks Vicky, we wouldn't have got in as quick as we did without you!

I cannot praise Guest Walker enough. I have used them for over a year to get Deputyship, add a Trustee, and for Conveyancing of a house. It has not been straightforward and I can only thank each of them for their skill and patience.

Absolutely first class and totally trustworthy during my house purchase. It is only when you release how bad your opposite numbers (sellers solicitor) is, that you realise how swept up and professional Guest Walker are. Special mention to Amanda and Annie who were professional, replied immediately to all my concerns and got the purchase over the line despite a very poor and slow solicitor used by the seller. 5 stars all day long, highly recommended.

We used Guest Walker for the sale and purchase of our properties. Everything was done efficiently, communication was good, and most importantly I totally trusted our solicitor from start to finish. The office in the centre of York was very convenient for being able to drop off documents etc without having to rely on the post. Not planning on moving again in a hurry but would use again without question. We were recommended them by word of mouth and I will do the same. Thank you!

FANTASTIC, EFFICIENT, HELPFUL, FRIENDLY service provided by Guest Walker. Emma helped to take all of the stress out of the Legal process I was embarking upon and made what I anticipated being a headache a very painless experience and actioned it with speed and efficiency! A pleasure to deal with, I would highly recommend Guest Walker 10/10! Thank you. Joanne

Shocking. Totally shocking the standard of work from this law firm. Sold half a warehouse to the party owning the other half. In theory this should have taken a relatively short time despite the other party going through complicated finance arrangements. The transaction from start to finish took a full 12 months. I personally lost out on two property opportunities due to their delays.

I contacted some other company to see if Guest Walker were a sham company. They informed me they have the same issue and said "we send ten mails to get one in return". Only by both parties sharing emails from the two lawyers could we get pressure on them to show there was no hiding. It was painful. Hard to contact anyone in the company as my lawyer just said kept saying, "I don't have a reply to that".

Might be explained as they seem to be a team of part timers. Think they cost the other party way too much as well as to me both in additional fees to my lawyer and very big opportunity cost. I wouldn't care but the lawyer handling the case a Director so heaven knows what the rest are like. Avoid this company!

I recently bought a house using Guest Walker for conveyancing. The whole process went extremely smoothly. Vicky communicated frequently and very effectively dealing with everything very quickly as required. I would wholeheartedly recommend Guest Walker, I couldn't be happier with the service I received.

Very professional and a personal touch. We have used Guest Walker Solicitors a number of times now and had the pleasure of having the same people look after us each time. We will certainly be using them again (hopefully in the near future). They have been the driving force behind all of our purchases, going above and beyond to make sure everything went to plan.

I have been using Guest Walker for 25 years now. I love them. Friendly helpful service at a very fair price. I never feel overcharged, and the service is very helpful, proactive and supportive. They do as much work as they can without keep asking me to do this that and the other. Just what I feel I am paying for. I recommend Guest Walker to all my friends and wish them well.

Guest Walker and Amanda Alden are a great to work with, from making an offer to completion took only 8 weeks. Amanda went out of her way to call to our house to explain paperwork and witness signatures.
Can’t recommend GW and Amanda highly enough.
