Appreciative of the effort Walker Foster put into completing the sale but felt as though if I hadn’t pushed for completion then the sale would have dragged on further.

As someone new to buying a house, I liked the way I could initially provide all the required documents securely, efficiently and quickly via the online portal. It was all clear and easy to understand. Then once that was done, I was kept up to date regularly by Lydia and Fraser via email. They are friendly and easy to deal with and didn't mind my asking questions. All in all, a very good service indeed. Thank you very much for helping us buy our first home.
A representative from Walker Foster Limited responded to this review on 05 June, 2025:

A complicated year when a variety of services were required. I dealt with the practice in Settle as my Family has in the past. They are professional but understanding and caring which is refreshing, you are treated as a person not just a client.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Fraser in the Settle office during the purchase of my first home, and I couldn't be more pleased with their services. From the moment I contacted them, their friendly and approachable demeanor immediately put me at ease. They were always prompt in responding to my inquiries, which was incredibly comforting during what can be a stressful process.
Thankyou for all your help in this process!

Fraser was recommended to us for our house purchase and the recommendation was 100% fulfilled. Fraser and Lydia were always efficient, professional and helpful. We were particularly impressed with the promptness of their response to our queries; we were never waiting more than a day or so for a reply, which was very reassuring and helpful when going through a process that can be stressful at times. We have no hesitation in recommending Fraser Bell at Walker Foster Solicitors to others looking for a top class conveyancing service.
