Excellent service provided by Rizzwana

Rizzwana has been incredible in handling my parent's sale and purchase. Rizzwana was very sensitive to our family situation - my parents didn't want to move house but my Dad's declining health condition made a move to a bungalow necessary, and Rizzwana has been patient, diligent, friendly and reliable throughout. From keeping us updated, chasing the other parties, promptly responding to enquiries and advising us throughout. We are very grateful for Rizzwana's hard work on my parents behalf and would highly recommend her.

Purchase of Bashfield Farm

I cannot recommend Rizzwana Bashir at Walker Foster Solicitors highly enough. From start to finish, her support throughout a particularly complex and difficult purchase was nothing short of exceptional. We quite simply couldn't have done it without her. Rizzwana consistently went above and beyond our expectations, routinely working out of hours to ensure everything moved forward seamlessly. Her communication was flawless, keeping us reassured and fully updated at every single stage of the process. Beyond her top-tier professionalism and deep legal expertise, she brought a warm, friendly, and deeply empathetic approach that made a world of difference during a stressful time. To receive such outstanding dedication, clear expert guidance, and personalised care—all while offering fantastic value for money—is a rarity. If you need a solicitor who is hugely knowledgeable, tirelessly hardworking, and genuinely cares about her clients, look no further than Rizzwana.

Walker Foster Solicitors came highly recommended when purchasing my new property. My solicitor was Rizzwana Bashir who I can't thank enough! She updated me almost every other day and I can't express how quick she dealt with the whole process. From start to end, it took 6 week which is incredible. I can't thank Rizzwana enough for her work. I would definitely be recommending her to my family and friends
