Smooth purchase

David did a great job with our purchase, which wasn't straightforward at all. He was personally available to discuss progress and issues throughout. I would highly recommend him for a hands on approach to conveyancing.

Sale/Purchase of property

Our main contact was Mr David Barton for both transactions. David was always helpful and knowledgeable about both items. Although there were tight margins around completion, everything worked out well in the end, and on time. I would not hesitate to use them again.

We engaged Ann Hallmark (Family Law) and David R. Barton (Property). Both are based in their Skipton Office.

Ann was recommended to me through a mutual friend and the service my partner and I received did not disappoint. Ann is responsive. diligent and cool-headed. Ann can explain the law in plain English, her advice is sound and personalised.

David R. Barton dealt with our property matters (trusts and conveyancing) and was extremely helpful, often putting up with a highly emotive series of transactions. We were in very safe hands.

We would highly recommend both Ann and David at Walker Foster.

David Barton and his team have carried out my conveyancing on three (3) purchases and two (2) sales recently. My most recent sale went through in less than 4 weeks!

David has a great skill set. He is professional but friendly and knowledgeable. Keeps you informed at key stages and guides you through the process in a calm manner.

I definitely, without hesitation, recommend Walker Foster, David Barton and his team.

If you want a solicitors firm who do not respond to e-mails and are extremely slow in what they do then look no further,
For especially slow and abysmal service you will need to hire David in particular.
