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.

A representative from Walker Foster Limited responded to this review on 13 March, 2025:

Thank you so much for your kind words, Elizabeth! We're thrilled to hear that Anna's professionalism and support made such a positive impact on your experience. It's great to know that her clear advice and patience helped you feel confident and secure in your new venture. We're grateful for your trust and recommendation. Should you need anything in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. Anna and the team will be here to assist you!

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.

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.

Amanda, thank you for sharing your positive experience! We're thrilled Anna Robinson ensured a smooth sale and purchase of your new home. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to assisting you again in the future! Best Regards, Walker Foster Limited
