Sale of Property

Michelle and Kathryn were extremely knowledgeable and helped me through the whole process in a very professional yet friendly manner. I would highly recommend their conveyancing service.

MY NEW GO TO SOLICITORS

Forbes are a very professional solicitors, with great, easy to talk to staff. Everyone we dealt with was really nice, no problem is too small for them to deal with. We had an easy time from beginning to end.

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.

Property purchase

Madiha, did a really good job on what was a tricky probate purchase.
She was really tenacious in how she made sure we got the deal over the line.

Great experience.

I was kept informed at every stage. Both Michelle and Kathryn were very easy to deal with and rang me or emailed at every stage to make sure I knew what was going on. They were on the ball.

House Sale

This is the second time I’ve used Forbes in 3 years, and I would use again. They were very friendly and patient as I wasn’t always the quickest to respond to requests.

Right from the start and throughout to completion, an extremely professional service. All the team could deal when others not available and the depth of knowledge and clear advice given was always there, instilling confidence all the way. No hesitation in recommending to others. First class!
