Great service

We used Anna for the sale of our property and we felt that every step of the process was communicated really well. We had a particularly difficult sale and Anna was great at helping us understand what was happening and what to do going forward.

Outstanding service

Anna is extremely thorough and professional, and kept me well informed at all stages of the conveyancing process. Selling and buying was a lot less stressful than I had anticipated, largely thanks to Anna.

House Conveyance for 15. Gladstone Avenue, Twickenham

Anna is warm and friendly and this fills one with full confidence and this feeling was fully justified.
All matters were dealt with speedily and contacts helpful, informative and stress free. She obviously has a good rappor as her onward queries were dealt with in a timely manner.
I could not have felt so at home and important and the whole process was a pleasure.

A Positive Experience

I hadn't a clue what to expect but Anna was my very encouraging first encounter! From the outset her professionalism was evident and advice given was clear and concise with no use of legalese. On every meeting her patience knew no bounds and she was at pains to have me feel confident and secure in my new venture. Should the need arise I would happily return to request Anna's advice and support and would readily commend her to others.

Efficient & Helpful

Anna was great throughout the sale of our rural property which had some complexities to navigate. Added to this a difficult solicitor on the buyers side meant that Anna had to work our behalf to ensure a successful sale.
Anna was efficient and responsive and did everything she could to minimise stress throughout. We are grateful for all her hard work and would certainly recommend her and use her services again.

Selling Mums house

Professional but friendly attitude during all our dealings with Anna. Her lovely personality shone through as she navigated our feelings at our Mums sudden loss yet effectively and efficiently dealt with the sale and other solicitors handling the probate of Mums estate. Cannot praise her highly enough. A true asset to your firm.

From the moment Anna and her team started work on my re-mortgage it was done in a blink of an eye. I will definitely be using Walker Foster Solicitors in the future and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Worth every penny!!!

We used the conveyancing solicitor Anna Robinson for our house sale and purchase of a new home recently. The sale and purchase went though quickly, and when a last minute hitch arose due to a sellers foreign POA, Anna worked tirelessly to complete on the day we had prearranged. We would definitely use Anna again. Thank you.
