“Excellent service from a first-class professional. Even as a fellow professional property lawyer I was very impressed. Being on the consumer side gave me a different perspective and confirmed all my views on Ian.”

“Samantha made the whole process, of purchasing our new home, a very calm and easy experience. We had complete confidence in her ability to progress our purchase as rapidly and efficiently as possible and that she would keep us updated. She also was kind and reassuring.”
Julie & Peter Cox - Re: Samantha Worsman - Director, Settle & Conveyancing Executive
“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for overseeing the legal side of the sale of our house. We couldn’t have wished for a better team to ‘get us over the line’. I have been extremely pleased with the way the legalities have been dealt with. Your professionalism has been greatly appreciated by both of us. We wish you both well and would most certainly recommend you to any person that required assistance in the same field.”
Conveyancing Client, Silsden - Re: Mariette Marren - Conveyancing Executive
“I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you with your speed and efficiency in helping us secure the property. We have used the same solicitor for years but asked Wilman and Lodge for a recommendation. Over the years we have bought various properties but I have to say you outshine them all. So it’s just a big thank you and we know where to come for future help.”

Once again, many thanks.”

“Julie was warm and encouraging. She gave reassurance even when our transaction stalled. She managed to give a totally personal service whilst giving up to date advice. Always showed good availability, returning calls at 6.15pm and emailing on Saturdays. There was a constant flow of communication – phone, face to face, texts, emails. Very reassuring.”

“Just a note to thank you for your excellent service, and always responding very quickly to all queries even when on holiday in America! [We] appreciate how you have handled the agreement to let and eventually to sell [our property]. It is a huge relief to now have sold it, and to somebody who will make it into another good business…. Thanks for all your considerations on our behalf, and it was good value for money.”
Anonymous Client - Re: Residential Property Team
“I recently used Liz Hird at Walker Foster’s Skipton office, to carry out my conveyancing. I would like to say that the service was great. It was very straightforward and professional, and Liz was always easy to get hold off. Where I didn’t manage to speak to her, she got back to me very quickly. I couldn’t have asked for more, and I was very happy with the service.”
