David joined the residential conveyancing department at Walker Foster in 2007 as a Solicitor, having qualified in 2003. Based initially at the firm’s Ilkley office, he very quickly became well known and respected as a leading conveyancing force among people looking for conveyancing services and with local estate agents and other businesses. He continued to work at the Ilkley office until July 2016 when he moved to the Skipton office to step into the shoes of a senior conveyancing partner who retired. Since moving to the Skipton office, David has continued to build up a significant following in the community and has excellent referral relationships with a number of estate agents and other property professionals, so much so that he remains one of the firm’s busiest conveyancing solicitors. David is respected in the business community and is well known for his expertise, depth of knowledge across all areas of conveyancing and his ability to find solutions to difficult legal problems. David deals with all types of residential property and acts for a number of property developers and investors in relation to acquisitions and disposals. In his spare time, David enjoys attending football matches with his Everton and Man City supporting sons. He can often be found on the golf course or out on walks with his beloved cockapoo, Olly.

Excellent Service from David at Walker Foster.

We are extremely grateful to Mr David Barton of Walker Foster, who made our sale go through without hiccup on our side whilst we had shenanigans from a buyers’ solicitor further down the chain. I’ve used Walker Foster many times as their attention to detail is second to none and they always have their clients’ needs as their primary concern. David is an excellent solicitor who is reassuring, calm and extremely knowledgeable.

David Barton, ably supported by Marguerite Harmon recently managed our property sale and purchase. The service provided was excellent - responsive, professional and timely. We have used Walker Foster on a number of occasions over the last 30 years and they have been consistently good

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. AVOID AVOID AVOID
