Good solicitor for conveyancing work
They helped me through a difficult, on-off, property sale process and were perfectly efficient. Every time there was something for them to do they got on with it nice and quickly which I haven't always found to be the case with property conveyancing in the UK. Reception were always helpful in receiving documents, calling down one or another member of the conveyancing team dealing with my matter if I happened to call by. I can't fault them. And I'm quite good at faulting things, eg the UK conveyancing system or parking in Norwich town centre. But Fosters were fine. No complaints from me and I can happily recommend them to others for property conveyancing work.

Commercial Property Solicitors are often asked, “What is title splitting?” In simple terms, it is the process of dividing an existing registered freehold title into two or more new titles. This can arise in situations where a property owner wishes to sell part of their land, mortgage only part of their property, or deal with complex ownership structures. Our Commercial Property team have vast experience in supporting property owners looking for support around title splitting.

I used Fosters for the conveyancing on the selling of my home and the purchasing of my new home and I would highly recommend them.
Megan Draper and her team were excellent and thorough. Ella Aldous was my main point of contact and she was efficient and prompt with all my queries and questions. Everyone at Fosters who I encountered were professional yet warm and friendly making it really feel like a family solicitors you would always want to use.
If all solicitors were as quick as efficient as I found Fosters to be it would make moving a dream.
Many thanks

Expert help and advice beyond my expectations
I was nervous at my first contact with Fosters involving a car cycle claim.I was reassured taken through the complete process and felt confident regarding costs and the handling of the claim as a cyclist.My claim was handed to a second solicitor to pursue and I received regular updates and advice and was really grateful for referrals to medical teams all covered within the claim. The level of expertise was second to none and as with all these types of claims the work behind the claim was pursued with a genuine desire to achieve the best outcome.The claim took over a year the costs deducted from the successful claim were reasonable given the length of the claim and overall I was entirely happy If I have need for a solicitor in the future I would happily use Fosters.My claim was for an incident in June 24 and settled in Nov 25.

Pleasant experience from Fosters Solicitors
Approached Fosters Solicitors to help with a personal injury claim and I must say Fosters made the process so smooth sailing.
Many thanks too Lynn in particular ( the solicitor dealing with my claim) for your excellent work on my behalf. Lynn was very thorough and got me a good result.
However, all staff that I spoke with at Fosters was very professional and polite and kept me informed every step of the way, which gave me great peace of mind.
Experience with fosters was pleasant from start to finish, therefore I would without a doubt recommend them to others and would give more than five stars if I could.

The modern method of auction is a relatively recent development in property sales and should not be confused with the traditional auction process. While it retains some elements of a standard auction, it introduces key differences designed to make the process more accessible to a wider range of buyers, including those reliant on mortgage finance.
