I recently instructed Rizzwana Bashir at Walker Foster for a commercial property purchase, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Throughout the entire process, Rizzwana was proactive, professional, and kept us fully informed. Her clear communication and attention to detail made a complex transaction feel manageable and efficient. We were very pleased with the support we received and would certainly use her services.

2 sales 1 purchase Excellent service from start to finish.

Rizzwana took up the task of selling our Farm for us (which was sold in two lots) and the purchase of a residential property with lots of enthusiasm. The process was handled very professionally and efficiently she has great communication skills and questions always answered promptly , in fact usually straight away nothing was ever left hanging. Rizzwana has such a wonderful work ethic and sometimes clearly dealt with issues out of office hours if deemed necessary.Nothing seems to be too much trouble and to meet her you can see her enthusiasm for her job ,it is clear that she genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome and keeps everything moving smoothly.That level of commitment gave us real confidence and satisfaction so thank you Rizzwana for making what could have been a stressful experience so much easier.We would highly recommend her services to others.

Thank you for the fantastic and detailed feedback, Vic! Selling a farm in multiple lots alongside a residential purchase is a major undertaking, and we are absolutely thrilled that Rizzwana handled it all with such incredible enthusiasm and professionalism. Her stellar communication, prompt answers, and willingness to go above and beyond, even out of office hours are exactly what make her so special. Thank you so much for your high recommendation, and we wish you all the absolute best with your next chapter!

Fast, Efficient and Clear

Mariette was highly recommended by my estate agent and assisted with my leasehold house sale - she made a complicated sale clear and gave practical advice along the way. It was a smooth journey from beginning to end, as fast as possible. Mariette is calm and efficient and I would recommend her as we all know moving house is stressful!

I found Amber Brunton at WFS to be extremely proficient in every aspect of the conveyancing on my new house, handling an additional property transfer with ease. She was always quick to respond to my queries and the whole process was incredibly smooth. Highly recommended.

WALKER FOSTER SOLICITORS We instructed Walker Foster for a conveyancing transaction, and the experience was a total disaster from start to finish. Everything that could go wrong, did — and several fundamental steps that any competent solicitor should have taken were completely overlooked. To name just a few: an AGA (Authorised Guarantee Agreement) had been in place previously but was not carried over into the new lease; we received no advice regarding our liability for stamp duty; the lease wasn’t registered despite needing to be; and crucially, there was no advice provided about a break clause. When we later requested a copy of the lease, they had misplaced it and couldn’t even locate where they had stored it. At a time when we desperately needed guidance, we received none. Their dismissive reaction to our concerns was unequivocally unacceptable. We would never dream of instructing them again. Their service was, in our view, utterly appalling.

A representative from Walker Foster Limited responded to this review

Thank you for your feedback, having had the opportunity to look into this matter further we understand your feedback relates to a matter dealt with in 2018 by a Solicitor who left Walker Foster in 2019, and we are sorry that you felt dissatisfied with the service provided. We are always striving to improve the service we provide to our clients.

The second time I have used Walker Foster (Skipton) for a property transaction and would have no hesitation in recommending them. Clare and Mariette are a pleasure to deal with: helpful, professional and knowledgeable, they always do their best to get things resolved speedily. I was also very appreciative of the excellent communications, which kept me constantly up to date with things. A team that can be relied on!!
