I had the pleasure of selling and purchasing through Forum Sales and Lettings, the agent I dealt with was called Martin. From the word go he was highly invested in helping me and my fiancee Hannah get the price we wanted for our two bedroom terrace. This also transitioned into the purchasing of our new property where again he helped us secure the property with no problems along the way. Five star service all round and again a special mention to Martin who's an expert in his field. 5 star service.

Thank you to all the staff at Forum Sales and Lettings, especially Martin. I was supported and informed of what was happening throughout the time of the sale of my house. Being a little naive regarding the house buying and selling business, I am grateful for the handholding and advice I was given at the times I needed it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

We all know that buying a house can be stressful, let alone doing it at the start of a worldwide pandemic and a national lockdown, whilst starting a new job. and it was! It was great to have Martin on our team! His unwavering optimism, friendly advice and professionalism was top draw. None of the challenges we needed to overcome seemed to worry him and we can through them unscathed.

If Martin hadn't found us our forever home I would have no hesitation in using him again, but he did and we have no intention of moving! I would however wholeheartedly recommend Martin and the team to anybody.

We had a particularly 'trying' purchase and the team at Forum sales were always hugely helpful and endlessly patient. They did everything possible to ensure the sale of my flat and onward purchase progressed and they had great links with our local solicitors. This is the second time I have used the services of Forum sales and I would highly recommend them.

Ashley was extremely professional helping me to understand the local market for rental and sales as an investor. He went above and beyond to provide me with the information I needed to make informed decisions about investing in the local area. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

From start to finish, Martin and team were excellent, guiding us through the sale of our house, chasing up and progressing the sale with lawyers and the chain. We couldn't recommend them highly enough. Even sending us good wishes and a nice welcome gift for our new home.

I dealt mainly with Martin. They have been very accommodating throughout the process - as my husband and I visited the property often (it was empty) to measure up and get builders quotes. Always easy to get hold of. Towards end of the purchasing process Forum helped loads to get things moving with the vendor (the property was in probate) - things that would have taken considerably longer without their help. On day of exchange - Martin even popped up to the cottage to pop the heating on in readiness for our arrival.

I sold my house with Forum Sales & Lettings and had a truly positive experience. Their communication was excellent (dealt mainly with Martin). He was very pro-active chasing buyers and solicitors. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you.

Everyone in the team at Forum Sales & Lettings were really lovely and helpful with the sale of our property. We'd previously gone with a competitor of theirs who never got back to us and didn't get us any viewings in the 2 weeks we were with them, and we found them rather rude. Within 2 days of being with Forum they'd already booked 3 viewings in for that week and couldn't be more friendly and responsive. Martin was our main contact there and he went above and beyond to help us out and answer any queries we had.

He even came to do viewings on his days off, he's that committed! We really cannot fault Forum Sales & Lettings and will recommend them to all friends and family. A big thank you to Martin and the team at Forum!

Ashely, Martin and the team have worked tirelessly to assist us in selling 2 properties, having let one of them for us for many years. As we are not local ourselves, they have assisted in every way possible and are pleasant to deal with and professional. Well done and keep up the good work.

Have just sold our property with Forum. Predominantly Martin dealt with the sale, and Ashley a little. It's been a long winded challenging sale, through no fault of theirs. Martin was a great communicator, and kept us in the loop, even if there was no news. He shared our frustration at times, and worked hard to try and progress things as much as he could. Thanks Martin!

I have dealt with Forum Sales and Lettings before both for a property purchase and for a property sale and was very impressed with the service. I have now moved my six rental properties to them for them to manage, and again, very professional, friendly and competent service so far. I would recommend.
