Commercial, Wills & Probate.

Had reason to need a solicitor for a Commercial deal, Writing our wills and a Probate matter all in the last six months🙈. Craig we had used previously and was fantastic again. Easily contactable personally and gets the job done. Kelly again was superb with her in depth knowledge of the wills and probate laws. The whole process from start to finish was superb. Can’t rate them highly enough.

We have used Walker Foster on a number of occasions now, and have found them to be both extremely helpful and efficient. Without a legal background we can struggle to understand the lengthier legal documents that come with house or land purchasing - Craig explained everything clearly enough so that we understood the process exactly and kept us informed at every point. We would use Walker Foster again and recommend them to others.

My wife and I received excellent service from Craig Williams and his team in support of our house purchase. This was a little more complicated than the norm due to the fact of its Grade 2 listing, inclusion in the title of agricultural land, complicated communal service arrangements and historic conservation consents. Craig's advice was always very clear and helpful allowing us to make decisions on an informed basis. Moreover the speed of service was very good - from onboarding onwards. I wouldn't hesitate to use walker Foster again, and have heard good things about their service from local agents as regards more straightforward properties also.
