Excellent service with Forbes from start to finish. Prompt replies, everything properly explained and nothing too much hassle. Both Kathryn and Amanda were fantastic, even when working within tight timeframes towards the end. Highly recommend and reasonably priced.

Forbes managed the end to end process for our new house purchase. They provided clear and consistent communications throughout the process and kept us informed both by email and by app. During some of the more challenging parts of the process, Forbes stepped up with a positive problem-solving attitude which resulted us being in our forever home just before Christmas. Good job.

Great experience with a residential purchase through Forbes. Having a named contact who you can email and talk to directly is worth its weight in gold, even more so when they are experienced and helpful like our contact at Forbes.

I've recently moved house with the invaluable support of Kathryn Lofthouse and her team at Forbes Solicitors. Kathryn helped me with the sale of my old house and the purchase of my new house - both incredibly challenging experiences, which I could not have done without their support. In addition, Kathryn was always there at the end of the phone to answer any questions and reassure me during the more stressful periods. Huge thanks to the entire team - you were wonderful!

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. 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.

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, approachable and reassuring. I will definitely use Forbes in the future.

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.

Daniela

This is the fourth time I have used Forbes they never fail to impress. Everything is made simple in the stressful world of selling a house. All advice is explained in an understandable way and I was kept informed of the progress throughout via email and telephone. Kathryn and Madiha were both efficient and competent and I feel that everything was dealt with quickly. I may not need a solicitor for a while, but I wouldn't go anywhere else if I do. Thank you very much.

Michelle, Kathryn and the team were excellent. They kept me up to date, often calling me around pivotal moments to help take me through what it meant, given their experience in these matters. 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 and I would recommend them to anyone.

Alex

Michelle and Kathryn were excellent acting as our conveyancers for sale and purchase. Highly recommended.

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. 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.

We always use Forbes for our conveyancing needs. The team are extremely knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. Just what you need when you're buying and selling a house. A special thanks this time round to Kathryn and Madiha who have been amazing.

Kathryn and the whole team at Forbes worked really hard to get a residential sale across the line for us ahead of the stamp duty changes. We've used them numerous times for sales and purchases and they're always friendly, professional and prompt.

Craig

This is the 3rd time of using Forbes and not let down again. Thank you to Kathryn for her support and hard work on behalf of our late parents house. Kathryn always responded efficiently to my calls, emails and information I sent. Took plenty of time with me and my brother when we visited the office during a very busy March. Kathryn, also really helped our buyers to prevent a high increase in stamp duty to make sure completion happened on 31st March 2025.

Phil

My partner and I used Forbes Solicitors to buy our first home, and we’re so glad we did. Despite several challenges beyond our control, Stephen, Kathryn, and the Forbes team handled everything with professionalism, diligence, and genuine care. We were consistently kept informed and treated with empathy and kindness. They went above and beyond to meet a tight deadline, and we’re truly grateful. We’d highly recommend Forbes Solicitors—especially Stephen and Kathryn—to anyone buying a property

I have bought and sold a few houses in the past, always used Forbes with Kathryn Lofthouse and Jennifer Ross overseeing the process. I have just completed on my new home and the service I have received has been brilliant. They are so responsive, helpful and friendly. Couldn’t recommend Forbes more.

I cannot thank Kathryn enough for all her help and support throughout the process of buying my first home. As a first-time buyer, the experience could have been overwhelming, but Kathryn made everything feel smooth, clear, and manageable from start to finish.

Fantastic Service provided by Kathryn and Jennifer. Refreshing to see efficient , friendly and high level of professionalism with solicitors who are willing to be available for clients.
I was kept informed throughout and felt that Kathryn had my best interest in mind at all times and provided honest advice at all times. A real pleasure to deal with and I would definitely recommend and use again.

Javid

After a number of hiccups Forbes proved to be the correct choice for us. We purchased our new home and as I say there were a couple of errors by them but they came through for us. In fact Forbes are handling the sale of our old property. They are kind and understanding.

Keith

It was a long and difficult procedure due to many factors with the purchase. However Kathryn & the team at Forbes helped us get through every hurdle and finally got us through to completion.

Andrew

Excellent service and done within the timescale that was needed .
