Helpful and responsive

Claire was very helpful at explaining the process, putting my mind at ease and providing advice. She almost always was at the end of the phone when I wanted an update, and when unable to answer always came back to me soon after.

A seamless experience

When I emailed to request information about selling my house Claire rang me straight away and provided all the information I needed, unlike other solicitors in Skipton who either didn’t contact me or took a few weeks. I was really impressed by the prompt service. Claire kept me informed every step of the way, it was completed in a timely manner and Claire made it seamless. When I met Claire she was very friendly and professional.

I felt like the solicitor

Began with a pleasant experience however quickly turned sour. Our solicitor kept going on leave without informing anyone, therefore we could never move forward. She never handed our case over to anyone at this time so we were stuck. She was supposed to be withdrawing funds for a house purchase, however never chased them up therefore we had to do her work for her to get them in time to complete. She never updated the other solicitor or estate agents and did one of her disappearing acts on the day we were supposed to exchange contracts, without telling anyone. We were very upset and overwhelmed by this and felt we were spending all our time clearing up after her. After hearing great things we now feel very let down and what was supposed to be a pleasant experience, completely ruined.

I recently used Walker Foster Solicitors for a transfer. The transfer was not straight forward and had its implication's, to which Claire from WF dealt with in a timely and very professional manner. I was kept fully informed of any updates throughout. The whole process was made hassle free saving me the stress and headaches. I would thoroughly recommend and would use WF again. Thank you.
