Forum Sales were brilliant at selling my house. It was Martin who dealt with everything from start to finish. We had a couple of bridges to cross as our first buyer had to pull out but Martin readvertised straight away and we started to get viewings. It wasn't back on the market long before we had our new buyers who were very patient whilst I managed to find somewhere new.

From start to finish Martin was very helpful and patient and was always on hand at the end of a phone for any queries I had. I would definitely recommend Forum Sales particularly Martin to anyone selling their house.

We have bought 2 properties through Forum during a 12 month period August 20 to August 21. To say we are pleased with the service we have received is an under statement. Martin and Ashley have been superb. Nothing too much trouble for either of them THANK YOU We can certainly 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 bought a house marketed through Forum. From our first appointment right through to completion and picking up the keys, Martin and his team were amazing. We needed tradesmen to look at a number of issues and Forum were very supportive and accommodating. Communications were fantastic and always available on the phone. Our purchase was during Covid lockdown but Forum made the whole process smooth whilst remaining covid safe. Awesome

As an electrical contractor I am always delighted to work for this company as everytime I turn up to a job the tenant always tells me how quick I was to respond. Forum Sales & Lettings pass the job on to me as soon as the tenant reports the problem so this enables a fast response time and keeps both tenants and landlords happy. Payment is always on time and communication excellent. Pleasure to work with.

We moved into our lovely rented house 10days before the national lockdown, although we were abit disappointed in the cleanliness of the property, lyndsey of forum lettings was very quick in answering our concerns and getting the work done when needed.now we have been here a year we are very happy with the service we have recieved from lyndsey and if we have any problems we can email or ring and things will get sorted quite quickly, would recommend forum sales to anyone who is looking for a property. Thankyou for making our move to a completely new area less stressful.

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.
