I'm so glad we chose Walker Foster when buying our land. Rizzwana was really good and professional throughout. She never delayed in getting information over to the sellers and I just felt she went the extra mile, which is a great feeling to have as it can be a daunting process. Thanks Rizzwana for getting it over the line for us. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

I along with my Mum's solicitor have been chasing David Barton of Walker Foster for a response in regards to dealing with approving a deed of variation in respect of a leasehold property that my mum owns with her husband and are currently in the process selling, David of which acting for the landlord and dealing with the related variation, however the current position is that the sale of the property is now at risk of falling through due to what has been nothing other than a choice to completely ignore this matter for 4 weeks and provide no communication whatsoever. Avoid at all costs.

I recently used Walker Foster Solicitors for a transfer. The transfer was not straight forward and had its implication's, to which Claire from WF dealt with in a timely and very professional manner. I was kept fully informed of any updates throughout. The whole process was made hassle free saving me the stress and headaches. I would thoroughly recommend and would use WF again. Thank you.

Brilliant service

We can't recommend Anna Robinson highly enough, having recently sold properties and purchased one, she has been a constant during the whole process, she has guided us through with ease leaving us feeling confident throughout, she has kept us informed at all times, and nothing has ever felt too much trouble. We are so lucky in Settle to have such a brilliant firm of Solicitors.

Sara is an absolute master of her craft!

Absolutely outstanding service. Sara has been balanced, knowledgeable and consistently reassuring throughout my divorce proceedings. What could have been an incredibly stressful and overwhelming process was made clear and manageable thanks to her calm guidance and expertise. She explained every step in a way that put my mind at ease and always made me feel supported. I genuinely couldn’t have navigated this without her, and I’m deeply grateful for everything she’s done.

House sale - amazing communication

Sarah Bright and Issy Morgan facilitated my house sale. I actually tracked Sarah down from a previous house purchase that she’d done for us 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!!

If I could score 0 stars I would. Absolutely appalling service, I have been chasing the completion of a minor job for nearly a year. It has been passed through multiple people. Emails constantly getting ignored. Many phone calls where messages have been taken and requests for calls back have not been done. I would highly recommend NOT using this solicitor. We also had issues around 4 years ago when buying our house due to the person instructed leaving and not being told. Communication is absolutely terrible, I’m sure you’d get a better service from any other solicitor.
