Excellent and thorough service.

Wonderful experience with Guest and Walker Solicitors, Amanda and Annie were absolutely awesome! Very professional, easy to work with, quick to respond and dealt with any concerns immediately. I would highly recommended them.

Excellent communication throughout the conveyancing process. Would recommend Guest Walker and will use again.

I cannot recommend Amanda (and Annie) highly enough. We used the team at GW for our house purchase and they are so professional, friendly and with exceptional attention to detail. They really guided us through the process and were always on hand for any questions. Thank you!

Great company.Amanda and Annie were Excellent. Would 100% recommend and use again.

Prompt, polite and kept me informed at every stage. Would definitely recommend.

Would thoroughly recommend this firm. They were quick and efficient at all communications, and I felt at ease working with them throughout the sale of my property.

Vicky Middleton has always dealt with my clients and provided 5 star service, this was also the case with a recent house sale of my own which successfully completed within 8 weeks. Many thanks :-)

Amanda and Annie dealt with selling my parents house. Both were fantastic and kept me up to date all the way, can’t thank them enough for taking all the stress away. Thank you so much Debbie Chelton

We had such a positive experience with Amanda and team at Guest Walker. They managed our home purchase process with professionalism and with great attention to detail. We had excellent communication and everything was done in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Guest Walker for your next home transaction.

I received a first class service from Amanda Alden of Guest Walker, who recently acted for me on the purchase of a residential property. I would happily recommend her to others.

The sale of our house was a challenging one but the people at Guest Walker did their best to make it go smoothly

Absolutely first class support and excellent communication throughout our very tricky house sale. Our solicitor, Rachel Butterfield, was so helpful and any correspondence was answered promptly and any problems dealt with very efficiently

We have used Guest Walker from the mid 80’s when it was just John Guest himself. The service was excellent then and continues to this day. Our recent house sale and purchase was handled by Amanda Alden, supported by Annie Alden. All communications were responded to quickly and we completed our purchase in just over two months which included the Christmas break. The sale was a little trickier with many difficulties caused by our buyer’s solicitor but Amanda handled this in the most professional manner. We were glad to have her on our side. We can happily continue to recommend Guest Walker and especially Amanda. I think John Guest would approve! Kay & Gordon Less

Amanda and Annie were invaluable during our house buying process. Nothing was too much trouble, everything was explained clearly and they were SO efficient. Superb service - would highly recommend.

Amanda, Annie and rest of the staff are great. Top notch service. Have used them for years for 30+ transactions. Highly recommended

Selling a property post a family bereavement has the potential to be stressful under any circumstances. With different landlords, lease holders and managing agents involved we were warned by Estate Agents and Solicitors alike that the process could be time consuming and frustrating as well as stressful. Nothing could have been further from the truth thanks to the recommendation of Solicitors to use by a good friend. From our Instructions to Act on 23rd June, to proceeds of sale being in our bank account by 2nd November, all communications between were personal, prompt and clear, making the whole process as stress free as we could have possibly hoped for. We could provide no better advice to anyone than likewise recommend Amanda Alden and her team at Guest Walker Solicitors, York. Less

Recently used Guest Walker for conveyancing to purchase my first home. They couldn't have been more helpful, friendly and efficient. My solicitor, Rachel Butterfield and Julia Hendry, kept me updated through out the proces and I never had to chase up anything. Had a stress free process and would highly recommend their services!

Absolutely amazing, after we were messed about by a previous solicitor, got in touch with these guys and within weeks, literally two weeks (cash buyers) we got our house, communication was fabulous, the staff bend over backwards, just wish we had used them first time round, amazing amazing amazing, over the moon with the service, will be using them again 😀

I don't usually write reviews for things that aren't pubs/restaurants I've visited and enjoyed and feel others should know about, so this is a bit of a curve ball! Upon deciding that myself and my partner were going to relocate from Peterborough to York, we decided to find a local, York-based firm who would (hopefully) be more familiar with the local estate agents and other solicitors to keep the process moving along at a reasonable pace. As part of our due diligence we decided to make a short list of firms by phoning them up and starting to request a quote. After deciding to go with guest walker, I'm pleased to say we couldn't have been more delighted. Rachel and the team have been excellent throughout the process. Never falling to phone back when asked - and being very helpful at every milestone. We had a few hiccups when purchasing our property - primarily driven by other parties in the chain (namely our buyer) but after much prodding and poking by Rachel, our buyers' solicitor pulled their finger out and got on with the process. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Rachel, where other solicitors firms would simply say "no" or "ah we can't do that" - Rachel very clearly explains what the options are, what she recommends and what would lead to the best outcome. Without hesitation would continue to use guest walker again for every engagement we have whether that be another house purchase or any other legal process. 10/10! Less

Really efficient and easy process - all dealt with at a distance. Very clear instructions and easy end to end process for us

Excellent service. Can’t recommend Guest Walker highly enough. Everyone was very professional. Amanda was our main contact and she kept us informed every step of the way through a particularly difficult conveyance. She always responded to email queries promptly. That’s is so important to clients. Thanks to everyone at Guest Walker.

Friendly, approachable and very efficient.

Great firm who kept me updated through out the process of the sale.

Excellent service throughout; prompt, diligent and accommodating. Unreservedly recommended.

Guest Walker have just dealt with our first house purchase and we could not be happier. As first time buyers we didn't really know what we were doing and it was so reassuring to have such a great service and a very smooth process. They dealt with everything very efficiently and in a friendly and helpful manner. I would highly recommend them!

We found Guest Walker and Amanda and Annie Alden in particular always very helpful and accommodating. We had a particularly difficult property purchase and they did all they could for it to run smoothly. Would definately recommend to conveyancing team.

Guest Walker solicitor has done an amazing job! I use them for few times, never and even disappointed! Always efficiency, get back to me immediately. I have recommended Guest Walker to my friends who needs a solicitor. Appreciate all they have done for me. Thank you 😊.

I recently engaged with Guest Walker to support a house purchase. I found them to be thorough and effective. We encountered a couple of issues during the process but they worked quickly to resolve them

Just dealt with Annie and Amanda at Guest Walker with a conveyancing deal. They were professional, and very efficient with superb communication. I will definitely be using them again and cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone else looking to purchase property. Thanks so much Mike Brown

The professionalism and efficiency Guest Walker dealt with my conveyancing was amazing. They also made the whole process very easy with small things like pre paid envelopes and clear markers where to sign documents. Thank you!

Vicky and Jennie were excellent throughout the sale and purchase process/ conveyancing for our house move. Very responsive, efficient and informative. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Guest Walker.

Amanda & Annie were exceptional in acting on behalf of our sale & purchase. We recieved regular updates throughout the process and we cannot thank you enough for all your hardwork.

Amanda and Annie - the best team Wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Can’t thank them enough for their help with my sale and purchase. Definitely recommend!

We recently used Guest Walker Solicitors to buy our first home. The experience with Vicky was brilliant and I could not recommend enough. It was a stressful few months but Vicky was always very informative and responsive to our calls/emails and endless questions. Thanks Vicky, we wouldn’t have got in as quick as we did without you!

Amanda and Annie are amazing. Dealing with a very difficult seller that unfortunately led to an extremely lengthy sale. Was patient, communicative,supportive and all you could hope for in an efficient, fantastic solicitors. My family have used Guest walkers for years and we recommend them to all our friends and family and shall continue to do so. Thank you so much again

I cannot praise Guest Walker enough.. I have used them for over a year to get Deputyship, add a Trustee, and for Conveyancing of a house . It has not been straightforward and I can only thank each of them for their skill and patience.

Absolutely first class and totally trustworthy during my house purchase .

Recommended! After a long period of trying to obtain a mortgage, Amanda always helped us with any questions we had.

FANTASTIC, EFFICIENT, HELPFUL, FRIENDLY service provided by Guest Walker. Emma helped to take all of the stress out of the Legal process I was embarking upon and made what I anticipated being a headache a very painless experience and actioned it with speed and efficiency!

Shocking. Totally shocking the standard of work from this law firm. Sold half a warehouse to the party owning the other half. In theory this should have taken a relatively short time despite the other party going through complicated finance arrangements. The transaction from start to finish took a full 12 months. I personally lost out on two property opportunities due to their delays. I contacted some other company to see if Guest Walker were a sham company. They informed me they have the same issue and said "we send ten mails to get one in return". Only by both parties sharing emails from the two lawyers could we get pressure on them to show there was no hiding. It was painful. Hard to contact anyone in the company as my lawyer just said kept saying, "I don't have a reply to that" . Might be explained as they seem to be a team of part timers. Think they cost the other party way too much as well as to me both in additional fees to my lawyer and very big opportunity cost. I wouldn't care but the lawyer handling the case a Director so heaven knows what the rest are like.. Avoid this company!!!!! Less

I would highly recommend these solicitors

Fantastic service from initial email, amanda was always on hand to answer any questions we had in regards to the purchase of our home. It all went through smoothly and quickly. We would use guest Walker again in the future without a doubt 😀

I recently bought a house using Guest Walker for conveyancing. The whole process went extremely smoothly. Vicky communicated frequently and very effectively dealing with everything very quickly as required. I would wholeheartedly recommend Guest Walker, I couldn't be happier with the service I received.

Have to say vicky was awesome i would highly recommend Guest walker solicitors nothing was an issue i could not fault anything.

A superb, professional, efficient service provided by Amanda Alden and her team . Thank you once again for all your support with our recent conveyancing requirement . We always feel very valued as a client thank you .

Very professional and a personal touch. We have used Guest Walker Solicitors a number of times now and had the pleasure of having the same people look after us each time. We will certainly be using them again (hopefully in the near future). They have been the driving force behind all of our purchases, going above and beyond to make sure everything went to plan.

Very many thanks to Emma Hartley for her patience and for sorting the complexities of my Will. Very professional. very knowledgeable.

We received great service from Vicky at Guest Walker. As first time buyers, she couldn’t have been more helpful, always at the end of the phone and responding to emails promptly. They made the whole process of buying a house run smoothly and efficiently. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Amanda is extremely thorough, hard working and is very responsive to emails. We had great service with Guest Walker.

An extremely helpful and efficient firm of solicitors in all aspects.

Rachel was very responsive throughout the process and we were able to complete on our house is a very short period, especially given the current climate. Not only was Rachel very quick to respond to any queries, the information she provided was very clear and structured which made the whole experience much easier for us.

Great service from Guest Walker for our sale and purchase. Kept us up to date throughout and explained things to us in plain English.

Highly competent, easy (in fact a pleasure) to deal with. Nothing to much bother. A great experience.

Really thorough and trustworthy conveyancing. Rachel always responded to my (numerous) emails within hours of my sending them. So happy with Guest Walker!

A very professional service provided by Sean Gallagher at Guest Walker Solicitors. Clear and swift communications. Highly recommended. Thank you.

I have been using Guest Walker for 25 years now. I love them. Friendly helpful service at a very fair price. I never feel overcharged, and the service is very helpful, proactive and supportive. They do as much work as they can without keep asking me to do this that and the other. Just what I feel I am paying for. I recommend Guest Walker to all my friends and wish them well.

Massive thank you to Amanda Alden for helping with all the legal work for my Dad buying and selling home. Very helpful and patient, highly recommend to anyone needing a solicitor for moving home

I work for an estate agent who regularly deals with Amanda and Annie. I can 100% confirm they are the best in the business and in York and have confidence with the sales they process for us every step of the way. makes my job a lot easier when they are involved!! Katy

Rachel at Guest Walker went above and beyond to provide a first class conveyancing service for our recent house sale and purchase. This was by no means a straightforward transaction and we were beset by delays and problems, but Rachel and Annie were extremely helpful and calming when things got tricky. Have used before and would again!

Quick professional service

Fantastic service as always.

Guest Walker helped me with staircasing, the service was excellent. Amanda kept me informed & guided me through the purchase process Nothing was too much trouble. I definitelywould recommend Guest Walker.

Excellent service all round – highly recommend! A tricky purchase skilfully negotiated by Alison Munro, who was great throughout.

Guest Walker and Amanda Alden are a great to work with, from making an offer to completion took only 8 weeks. Amanda went out of her way to call to our house to explain paperwork and witness signatures. Can’t recommend GW and Amanda highly enough.

Vicky has been superb throughout the process of a property purchase for my husband and I. Nothing was too much trouble, she explained every aspect in a clear concise manner and portrayed a professional manner throughout. I will certainly be recommending her to friends and family in the future. Thank you for the speed and quality of your service.

Great service from Alison Munro for the sale of our business. Prompt action and kept us informed. Would definitely use her again.

Alison guided us through an extremely tricky acquisition and was hyper-vigilant on our behalf, spotting significant problems in a lease that the vendor was unaware of. Thank you so much

Used Guest Walker to handle the sale of our business earlier this month. Alison Munro was a delight to work with.

Absolutely no hesitation in recommending.

Paula & Claire have been brilliant throughout our property purchase, keeping us updated, pushing the purchase through as quickly as possible whilst being genuinely caring. Would recommend to anyone wanting a speedy, friendly and reasonably priced solicitors/conveyancing firm.

Excellent job by Vicky and Rachel. Will definitely use them again and recommend to friends.

Unnecessary delays and lack of communication, I would not recommend or use them again.

Thank you to your team for making it all so easy when buying my house. I was very impressed with your personal service and attention to detail, keeping me informed throughout the whole process. I will definitely be recommending you!

Vicky Middleton at Guest Walker & Co has handled a total of seven property sales/purchases for me in the past six years. There is a reason I keep returning: each transaction has been problem-free and handled efficiently and promptly, with my best interests meticulously managed.

Great Service from Vicky Middleton as always. Vicky has dealt with several of our house sales and purchases. We have also personally recomended her service to friends and family who have received the same great service from Guest Walker. Very proactive service which helps to achieve earliest possible completion dates.
