As 50% owner of a property to sell in Hexham and living over 235 miles away, I found Suzanne Forster extremely helpful in seeing us through to final conclusion despite 2 sales falling through, one very late in the process.

Would highly recommend this company also such friendly staff. As I have never sold a property before everything was explained so I understood the process. They kept me updated throughout the sale.

From start to completion Suzanne has kept me fully informed of all aspects of the sale and also advised me of any issues. She went 'above and beyond ' to resolve a problem with the freehold. Many thanks Suzanne and well done

Suzanne guided me through the process from start to finish and I was so grateful as it was not long after my husband died. What to me was a very worrying and daunting process was made so much easier with her help.

Excellent Service. Professional and clear advice. Suzanne listened and supported us without a superior attitude. She followed up any issues until they were resolved. I would thoroughly recommend this practice and the high calibre of practice.

Having had experience of using Suzanne Forster from Gibsons before and asking for her again for conveyancing services I am happy to recommend Suzanne. She is personable and approachable both via email and phone. Easy to access and always willing to take calls and try to move things forwards. Patient and calm I’ve felt in good hands. Thank you :)
