I used Askews to reach a settlement over a family home. Karen was extremely patient with me whilst I gathered all the evidence she needed and extremely professional and supportive when dealing with a challenging ex partner to reach an agreement. The conveyancing team at Askews achieved a remortgage and transfer of equity for me in an incredibly tight timeframe. I had a mortgage offer about to expire. Their speed, efficiency and support was phenomenal. A huge thank you to Sunitum and Gurpreet for making the impossible happen. My boys and I are delighted.

For my house purchase I worked with Linda and her team, they were simply the best. I hadn't bought a new place for 24 years and so it was quite daunting to do it again but she made it as easy as it could be. quick, knowledgable and above all kind. Thank you

We had a landlord dispute which required timely resolution. It took a little while to get started but once the right person was involved everything was handled quickly, appropriately, sympathetically and to our satisfaction. Communication was excellent.

I recently used Askews when purchasing our first house. Overall, I was very happy with the service. Maira was our conveyancer and Hugh was our solicitor. Both were very prompt at responding to my emails and any queries I had. I would use them again.
