Truly outstanding service provided by Stephen, Kathryn and the team

5

My partner and I used Forbes Solicitors to buy our first home, and we are so, so happy we did. We were hit with several unfortunate circumstances outside of our control throughout the process, and Stephen, Kathryn, and the rest of the Forbes team, dealt with every single one with extreme diligence, professionalism and care. We were constantly updated with the information we needed, and we were always met with empathetic and kind natures. We are truly grateful for their work, they really went above and beyond to get our house purchase over the line and to an extremely pressing deadline. We would absolutely recommend Forbes Solicitors, and Stephen and Kathryn in particular, to anyone wishing to purchase a property.

3rd time using and not let down

5

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, due to the end of stamp duty deadline. Kathryn, also really helped our buyers to prevent a high increase in stamp duty to make sure completion happened on 31st March 2025.

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.

Excellent service

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

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.
