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.

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.
