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.

Solicitor review
My experience with Walker Foster has been mixed. The length of time taken to get to signing documents met my expectations. David's communication could be improved by contacting/replying to me and my mortgage advisor when we email. David has been available for the majority of my calls and I didn't feel I was being a pain when I call. David was always helpful and understood my questions when we did talk.

Going Above and Beyond.
Conveyancing in this country is subject to considerable uncertainty and associated stress for buyers and sellers. Unexpected snags can appear late in the process.
David encountered an issue at the eleventh hour and went the extra mile .. along the chain.. to ensure we got to an acceptable, albeit late exchange and rapid completion.
Thank you David.

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.
