I found my emails and queries were slow to be responded to, with me often having to chase up a response. I think responding to emails in a prompt manner would give a better service, clients should not have to chase up.

Throughout Claire has been focused on providing first class advice to inform my decision making. From the outset Claire sought to fully understand my drivers and objectives and focused her advice to help inform my options and final solution. It is apparent that Claire deeply cares about her clients and wants to offer the best quality of advice. She kept me informed and updated on progress. Without hesitation I would recommend Claire.

I would just like to say that our experience with Sue and her team at Walker Foster Skipton was outstanding.
The process regarding both the sale of our property and then the purchase of our new home was not only quicker than the average 12 weeks ,the frequent communication throughout and answers to any questions or queries we had being answered normally within a couple of hours, made the process a lot less stressful than we had anticipated.
This is the second time we have used the services of Sue and her team, and we would happily use Walker Foster Skipton again for any future sales or purchases.
A representative from Walker Foster Limited responded to this review on 24 March, 2025:
Thank you for your fantastic review, Kelly. We're so glad to hear that Sue and the team at Walker Foster Skipton made your property sale and purchase smooth and stress-free. We look forward to assisting you again in the future!

Very happy to recommend this firm - I have recently completed two property sales, and both times I used Mariette Marren in Walker Foster’s Skipton office. Mariette was efficient, courteous and professional from start to finish, and was only too happy to help if ever I had a query. I would therefore not hesitate to recommend Mariette’s services to anyone searching for a friendly and approachable conveyancing solicitor for their property transaction. Many thanks once again Mariette for your excellent service!

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.
