We have used Walker Foster on a number of occasions now, and have found them to be both extremely helpful and efficient. Without a legal background we can struggle to understand the lengthier legal documents that come with house or land purchasing - Craig explained everything clearly enough so that we understood the process exactly and kept us informed at every point. We would use Walker Foster again and recommend them to others.
A representative from Walker Foster Limited responded to this review on 12 February, 2024:
Dear Rebekah, Thank you for your continued trust in Walker Foster. We're glad Craig's guidance was clear and helpful. Your recommendation means a lot to us.

I’m divorcing and needed legal help re the house transfer quickly. Laura Kingsberry in the Harrogate office was really helpful, both before I had instructed Walker Foster with advice re what to do, and once instructed.
She handled the case with professionalism and was very calm and friendly responding to questions and calls quickly.
I felt very confident in her abilities and found all staff helpful - when you call you can be answered in any of the branches and all were friendly and professional.
I highly recommend Laura and Walker Foster.
A representative from Walker Foster Limited responded to this review on 25 January, 2024:
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Helen. We are so pleased that Laura was able to offer you assistance and advice in a timely and friendly manner. If there is anything else that we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
