Since the start of the sale we had had a really positive experience. Natalie has responded really quickly to us and answered any queries we've had along the way. Natalie has been really friendly and professional throughout and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Thank you so much for everything you have done.

Natalie was fantastic in dealing with the sale of my home. We encountered a complicated issue requiring a deed of variation which could have massively delayed matters or ruined the sale but Natalie dealt with any issues that came up. Thanks to her hard work and prompt communication the sale went through smoothly. I would highly recommend her!

I have been very pleased with the service I have received from Forbes Solicitors, particularly from Lucy and Imogen, who have been assisting me with a property sale dispute. Both have been extremely professional, friendly and approachable throughout. They have taken the time to listen to my concerns, explain matters clearly and keep me informed throughout the process. I have always felt that my situation was being handled with care and professionalism. It has been reassuring to have such supportive and knowledgeable people dealing with what has been a difficult and stressful matter. I really appreciate their help and the way they have handled my case so far. I would happily recommend Forbes Solicitors, and especially Lucy and Imojean, to anyone looking for professional, approachable and supportive legal assistance. Aggie

Disgrace of a firm, these solicitors where chosen to act on behalf of together housing association in regards to selling my share of my shared ownership property, essentially just the middle man from my buyers solicitors and my solicitor. Whole process took 5 months because response times where nothing short of a disgrace. Case handler Claire wouldn’t speak to me because I wasn’t the client even tho I was having to pay the final bill so surely I am the client? So after 5 months of very poor service they then had the cheek to send me a bill of £2775 and my buyer a bill of around £700!! For doing literally nothing! They were just the middle man!! I paid my other 2 solicitors just over that total amount combined who had to do all the usual conveyancing bits and pieces. I had to ask my solicitor to double check that Claire hadn’t fell onto a calculator and just thought “that’ll do” £2775!!? Wow When challenged on the amount the response was a snapshot of some small print in my shared ownership lease stating a charge of up to 1.5% or some croc and bull, so basically they charged that because they can. So thanks for robbing me blind and thanks again for a terrible service. Stay well clear of Forbes
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From start to finish, the service I received was professional, efficient, and reassuring. A special thank you to Simon and Ian, who were both knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to take the time to explain everything clearly throughout the process. What really stood out was the level of communication and attention to detail. Every query was dealt with promptly, and I always felt informed and supported. It’s clear that Forbes Solicitors have built an excellent team, as every member of staff I dealt with was friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for their clients. If you’re looking for experienced solicitors, legal advice, conveyancing services, dispute resolution, employment law support, personal injury claims, family law assistance, or general legal services, I would have no hesitation in recommending Forbes Solicitors. Their professionalism, expertise, and client-focused approach make them one of the best law firms I have dealt with. Thank you again to Simon, Ian, and the entire Forbes team for your outstanding service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for your kind feedback. We're delighted to hear that you found our service professional, efficient, and reassuring throughout. We will be sure to pass on your comments to Simon and Ian, who will be pleased to know their support and guidance made a positive difference.
Hayley N was exceptional in her communication as the solicitor for the sale of my property. After previously having issues solicited when selling and purchasing homes in the past, I have been very pleased by the constant updates and information provided by Hayley and Forbes solicitors in general during a stressful time when selling a property close to Christmas. I would recommend them again to anyone!
Thank you for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear Hayley kept you well informed and supported throughout your sale, especially during such a busy time. Your recommendation is very much appreciated.
We dealt with Sophie Thomson (Rawtenstall branch) who acted on our behalf with a recent house purchase She was very friendly helpful knowledgeable and professional and dealt with any queries we had quickly and made the whole process easy for us Highly recommended
Thank you for your kind words! We're so pleased Sophie made the process smooth and stress-free for you. We'll be sure to pass on your feedback – all the best in your new home!

I used forbes due to brilliant service previously from a solicitor who made me feel very comfortable and most importantly heard, and listened to. I never ever felt judged ironically, and they were brilliant with my family. This time round I had a different solicitor, and the exact treatment was provided once again. Listened to, understood, information on the case was clearly explained, honesty, professional. 10/10 once again. Big thank you to Toby.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We're delighted to hear Toby provided such excellent support and made you feel listened to and understood throughout. We'll be sure to share your comments with him. Thank you for choosing Forbes again.

John Lambe acted for me in resolving a dispute with my late Father's estate. He took the time to understand the circumstances under which my Father signed the Will. At all times he was friendly, supportive and pragmatic. He has a vast knowledge of contentious probate, access to an exceptional Barrister, and together they were able to help me understand the complexities of the laws relating to my case. Navigating through such a difficult time was made much easier by having John in my corner. The right result was achieved and I would whole heartedly recommend Forbes to anyone in the position of having to contest a Will.
