Myself and my partner bought our first house using Forum and they made the process so much easier and relaxing! Martin helped us throughout the whole process, whether that was chasing up the solicitors or communicating with the vendors when we had questions - he made the experience a lot less daunting. Upon completion, we received a lovely gift box from the team which was a lovely touch. Couldn’t recommend Martin and Forum enough!!
Hi Jess Thanks for your review and kind words. We hope you have settled in well, its a lovely house.

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!
Hi Sarah - thank you for your kind words - we hope you and the family are very happy in your new home.

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
Hi Paul Thank you for your kind review, we are very happy to hear you were so pleased with our service. We hope you are settling in well to your new home and are enjoying life in the village.

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!
Hi Sarah, thank you for your review, hope the renovations at the new place are going well!

We employed Forum Sales & Lettings to sell my parents house as they wished to downsize and relocate to Blandford forum. Our experience with them can only be described as outstanding ! Nothing was too much trouble and Martin and Ashley made a very stressful process as easy as possible for my elderly parents. We really can't thank them enough.
Hi Simon - thank you very much for your review and your kind words. We hope your parents are very happy in their new home, we appreciate it was a very emotional move for them.

Thank you Martin for the service you’ve provided, communication was fantastic, you supported chasing the buyers solicitor to ensure the sale progressed and managed to get from offer to completion in a short amount of time. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much to Ashley and Martin for all their time. Very professional and would highly recommend. Our house previously was on for sale with another estate agents for months and months with nothing, we then changed over to Forum and within 6 days the house had sold. Very professional and amazing service. Thank you again.
Hi Jordon, thanks for your lovely review - we hope you are enjoying the new home!

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.
Thanks for your kind review Mary. Glad to hear you were happy with the service you received, we look forward to working with again.

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.
Hi Sean - thank you very much for your review. We hope you are settling in well to the new place.

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.
Hi John, thank you for your review, it has been a pleasure acting for you, best wishes to you and the family for the future. If you are ever in Blandford do pop in to say hi!

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.

Martin and Ashley at forum sales were a great help through-out the process of me purchasing my first house - a 2 bed semi-detached house. The first instance was the viewing and Martin was very honest about what he knew about the house and …
Hi Matthew thank you so much for your review, we hope you are very happy in your new home and we look forward to seeing what you do with the place its certainly got lots of potential.

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.

5/5
Forum Sales & Lettings have managed my property since 2008. Each tenant they found for me was always a good one. They used their experience to find the right tenant to suit and every time they delivered. If ever there was an issue with the property, they were straight on to it. They always checked with me first, but most of the time I used a tradesmen they recommended. I have now just sold my property via their sales department and the service I received was second to none. I would highly recommend Forum Sales & Lettings to anyone, whether is be letting or selling their property. Thank you to everyone at Forum Sales & Lettings and I wish you all the best for the future.
Thanks for your kind review and business over the years Wayne. Best wishes to you and your family for the future.
5/5
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.
Hi Lianne, thank you for the lovely review, we are looking forward to seeing what you do with the house.

I think i got lucky, but that is simply not the case. A completely seamless transition for me to my property, easy! Thankyou to all the team, especially Lyndsay
Thanks for your review Tony - we hope you have settled in well.
1/5
All smiles yet totally useless about as good as most other agents, told got house, paid deposit then handed in our notice to current landlord then get told sorry the owner wants his daughters friends to have property, no other offers of property, promises of getting back to you but don't, being a local firm thought we'd give them a try?? Save your money and effort, I walk in office pay deposit... I'm mixed race... 2 hours later get told this about property??? Sounds like racism to me?? Draw your own conclusions AVOID THIS RACIST FIRM
Thank you for you review. Firstly I can assure you neither the company or anyone associated with it is racist. As is our standard procedure upon receipt of the holding fee we contact the landlord to confirm we have received the required funds and are proceeding to the referencing stage. At the stage of your application, as soon as we had spoken to the landlord they made us aware of possible interest from a family friend so asked us to notify and not to proceed any further.
5/5
Having recently Let our property through Forum Sales & Lettings we cannot thank them enough. We dealt with Lynsey throughout the process and she was superb at answering our many questions and keeping us up to date at all times. Thank you once again, and we look forward to working with you again in the future.
