Thank you Askews for your excellent service as always. A special mention to Hugh, who made a very difficult process much easier. He gave me confidence and took care of things like a complete professional. Fully recommend this firm.

Stephen Tallentire and Jane Ball were both incredibly helpful throughout our house purchase. Stephen was attentive, professional, and always quick to respond to any questions, no matter how big or small. As first-time buyers, his support made a real difference. Jane also did a great job preparing our report and clearly explaining everything we needed to know. The whole team made the process smooth and much less stressful. Highly recommended!

We recently used Askews for both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one, and the service we received was nothing short of excellent. The team was professional, efficient, and supportive throughout the entire process.A special mention goes to Stephen, who was incredibly helpful every step of the way. He was always quick to respond, clear in his communication, and genuinely went the extra mile to make sure everything went smoothly. His calm and knowledgeable approach made what can often be a stressful experience feel straightforward and well-managed.We’re truly grateful for the outstanding service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Askews, and particularly Stephen, to anyone looking for reliable legal support when buying or selling a home.

I recently used Askews for a negligence case involving a previous conveyancer, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Neenu handled my case and was exceptionally professional, responsive, and supportive throughout what was a challenging and often frustrating situation.Neenu's clear communication, patience, and practical advice helped navigate a complicated legal process with confidence. I felt reassured at every step, knowing my case was in capable hands. Thank you again to Neenu and the team at Askews for their dedication and expertise.

Askews legal team helped me with my defamation case, they were brilliant at their service and I am so happy that I chose Askews. My lawyer, Candice was not only very professional she was also very empathetical towards my situation which I needed the most during my difficult time.
