House conveyance

We had a smooth transition with help from Madiha and Kathryn. Always there when needed and quick to respond. I would recommend Forbes to anyone.

Excellent service

5

Kathryn Lofthouse and her team dealt with the transfer of ownership of my property.
It was not a particularly straightforward procedure but my solicitors helped me every step of the way .
Everyone was friendly and helpful and really efficient.
I would not hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use them again myself in the future.

Absolutely Excellent Service and Team - Kathryn, Michelle, Madiha

5

Kathryn and the team were proactive and diligent throughout our sale and purchase transaction despite both time and chain pressure. Kathryn was extremely efficient and communication was second to none at all times, from start to finish, always available and responsive. Kathryn is an absolute credit to the residential property team and Forbes Solicitors. There is nothing we can genuinely suggest to improve process and it was an absolute pleasure to work the Kathryn and the team. We are very grateful - thank you. Best wishes. Mr and Mrs S.

Excellent service

5

Michelle, Kathryn and the team were excellent. They kept me up to date, often calling me around pivotal moments in the process to help take me through what it meant in practise given their experience in these matters. That advice was invaluable and in some instances led to me walking away from properties that would have been damaging to purchase. This is the second time I have used them, having used them for the sale of my flat, and I would recommend them to anyone.

The Best

5

This is the fourth time I have used Forbes they never fail to impress everything is made so simple in the stressful world of selling a house.

Although I was assisted mainly by Kathryn and Madiha everyone you speak to at Forbes is very friendly, approachable and can't do enough to help in any way

all advice is explained in a understandable way and I was kept informed of the progress throughout via email and telephone.

Kathryn and Madiha were both efficient and competent in what they do and I feel that everything was dealt with in a timely manner

I may not need a solicitors for a while but I won't go anywhere else if I do

thank you very much

I have used Forbes for buying and selling my properties over the last few years and
I have been extremely happy with this firm. The team have always been great, easy to communicate with and explained things to me when I have queried anything. I have always recommended Forbes to my friends.

Kathryn and Madiha have just dealt with the sale of my house. I don’t normally write reviews but I have to say that I was so impressed from beginning to end. The whole process was seamless. They were a pleasure to deal with, kept me informed every step of the way and were professional yet approachable and reassuring. I will definitely use Forbes in the future.

Sale of our home

Kathryn made the conveyancing process very accessible. Throughout she kept in touch and was promptly responsive when we sought advice. We were given clear instruction of what we needed to do and when and Kathryn administered the various documents efficiently and securely. Overall we could trust that the conveyance and receipt of funds would take place per our plans and this service was very fairly priced. Thank you Kathryn, we would confidently recommend you as a skilled professional. F/PD
