A Fantastic Experience

5

Selling a house and negotiating a chain is stressful. Claire went over and above to keep us informed, communicate with us and offer sensible advice.
I can’t recommend her highly enough. She made a difficult situation bearable and we felt she was always on our side. If she was unavailable due to annual leave she ensured we had a named contact to act on our behalf and was always reassuring and sympathetic. Excellent service - thank you.

Good conveyancing service

4

Overall I was very happy with the service I received from Walker Foster. It would have been helpful if some of the paperwork could have been completed electronically given that I was selling a property remotely from several 100 miles away. I would also have liked more proactive engagement - quick update emails, even to say that we were still waiting to hear from X or Y - it felt like I was always chasing.

Claire was brilliant from start to finish. We didn't have the easiest case for her but the professionalism Claire showed throughout was second to none.

She kept us informed every step of the way and always did what she said she would.

Thank you so much Claire@
