Askews is a very efficient & communicative company. The property sales were managed quickly & smoothly. Parvinder Sanghera & her colleagues, Freya Moss and Debbie Nyamutumbu, were quick to respond and answer any questions. The leasehold sale, which had some additional complications, was handled step by step and very thoroughly. I highly recommend them.

I have recommended Askews Legal in a professional capacity for many years and have also used their services personally on numerous occasions over the years, I’ve continued to recommend them to family and friends. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been extremely helpful, professional, and approachable. In particular, Pardeep Kandola is the solicitor I choose and recommend every time. He is highly efficient, practical, and thorough, making what can often be an old-fashioned and lengthy process feel straightforward and well managed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Askews Legal and will certainly use their services again in the future.

We had an excellent experience with Askews Legal during the purchase of our first home. A huge thank you to both Stephen and Paul for all of your hard work, professionalism, and guidance throughout the entire process. From start to finish, communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, making what could have been a very stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. We always felt well supported and informed at every stage. We are incredibly grateful for everything the team did to help us reach this important milestone. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Askews Legal to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and efficient conveyancing service. Thank you once again - we truly appreciate all your help and wish the whole team continued success.

Mohammad Farooq recently acted for us and did a fantastic job. He was professional, clear, and extremely supportive throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and approach were excellent. We couldn't have asked for better representation. Thank you!

Pardeep was recommended to me by my sister, who is an estate agent by trade, so she could have recommended many solicitors to act for us. On the three occasions I’ve used Pardeep, he’s been superb! I’d highly recommend using him or anyone that works closely/under him. He was always very responsive, kept the process moving along and took the stress out of what could have been three stressful moves. Thanks again, Pardeep.
