This was my 5th property purchased using Allan Stewart and as ever he provided a first class service. Allan and his team at Walker Foster were exceptionally thorough, quick to respond and offered a service that I could rely on knowing that all details would be covered.

I have instructed Allan over a number of years on various complex commercial and residential conveyancing matters. He is highly articulate and exceptionally thorough, with an impressive attention to detail that ensures nothing is overlooked. His deep legal knowledge and methodical approach makes the process run so smoothly. Also of a very approachable and friendly nature explaining each step,
I would not hesitate to recommend Alan to anyone seeking a solicitor who combines expertise with precision. Likewise his support team at Walker Foster have showed similar excellent customer service skills and professionalism.

Allan was patient, diligent and thorough in conveyancing our property purchase. He persisted in extracting as much information as possible from an extremely cagey vendor. He was responsive to our requests, and understood and accepted our appetite for risk. We felt that he represented our best interests throughout the process.
A representative from Walker Foster Limited responded to this review on 11 August, 2025:
Thank you for your detailed feedback, Sophie! We’re pleased Allan was able to represent your interests so thoroughly and provide the support you needed throughout the process.

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.
