We used Allan Stewart for the sale of our house & business. Allan was absolutely fantastic, he was very friendly and professional and kept us up to date during the whole process. We would defiantly use Walker Foster again, the best solicitors firm we have ever dealt with. Highly recommend.

For around the last 15 years, I have been a client of Walker Foster Solicitors. I have always received excellent service from Keith Hardington and other members of his team. Keith is always on hand for help and advice whenever needed and he is always professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Walker Foster for any legal services.

3rd time I've used this company in recent years, (for 3 different services). Very easy to deal with, always professional but without the usual 'wall of formality' that you tend to get with some Solicitor's. Similarly, with legal document etc. they'll instinctively include additional explanatory wording, in layman's terms, where it's typically needed ! Also, on each occasion, the fee they quoted was what was charged at the end. By far the best company I've used (have tried a number of other's prior).

Purchase of Bashfield Farm

I cannot recommend Rizzwana Bashir at Walker Foster Solicitors highly enough. From start to finish, her support throughout a particularly complex and difficult purchase was nothing short of exceptional. We quite simply couldn't have done it without her. Rizzwana consistently went above and beyond our expectations, routinely working out of hours to ensure everything moved forward seamlessly. Her communication was flawless, keeping us reassured and fully updated at every single stage of the process. Beyond her top-tier professionalism and deep legal expertise, she brought a warm, friendly, and deeply empathetic approach that made a world of difference during a stressful time. To receive such outstanding dedication, clear expert guidance, and personalised care—all while offering fantastic value for money—is a rarity. If you need a solicitor who is hugely knowledgeable, tirelessly hardworking, and genuinely cares about her clients, look no further than Rizzwana.

First time buying made easy

As first time buyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better solicitor than Mariette. She guided us through every stage clearly, helped us understand exactly where we were in the process and what would happen next, and always made us feel confident that our purchase was in safe hands. Professional, prompt, and incredibly supportive throughout. Our purchase completed smoothly in just four months, and we’re genuinely grateful for her expertise and care. We highly recommend Mariette and have already passed her details on to friends who are beginning their own selling journey. We cannot thank her enough.

Exceptional

RIzzwana has just completed a lease on a retail property for us and she has been exceptional throughout. Very helpful and efficient and her email responses have been almost instant. This level of service is a very rare thing nowadays so it has been so refreshing to experience. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Outstanding service from start to finish! Moving home is notoriously stressful, but having such a proactive solicitor like Amber, made all the difference. She was always quick to respond to my queries, actively chased the rest of the other side to prevent delays, and provided constant reassurance whenever things felt uncertain. If you want a smooth, efficient move with a team that actually keeps you in the loop, look no further.

Sarah Bright and Issy Morgan facilitated my house sale. I actually tracked Sarah down from a previous house purchase that she’d done for me while working at another solicitors, because she is so good. The communication is brilliant. No chasing and leaving multiple messages - replying the same day and doing all they can towards desired timelines. Faultless and will always come back to these guys for as long as they are in their roles!!
