Excellent Law Firm. Handled our conveyancing excellently. We had a separate purchase and sale. These were both handled in an extremely professional and timely manner. Jane Ball and Gurpreet were very responsive and able keep the other side's solicitor on track.

My girlfriend and I are first time buyers so we’ve never had to deal with solicitors before, so when people tell us that buying a house is stressful and dealing with solicitors can be a pain, this obviously worried me about the process. However, Askews Legal LLP or more importantly Lauren D’Arcy have proved everyone wrong. Lauren was a pleasure to work with and she made the process so incredibly smooth. She’s professional and was always there to back our case with any issues that happened. I think every solicitor should come to Lauren for advice because she knew exactly what she was doing and ensured we got perfect best in class service. I will recommend Askews, and more specifically Lauren, to any family member or friend and bet £2 million that they’ll have the smoothest house purchase process. Thank you Lauren.

My husband and I have recently made our Trust Wills with the guidance of a lovely lady, Stephanie Napier. Stephanie is an Associate Solicitor and Head of Private Client. We cannot recommend her highly enough,. Stephanie was very easy going and pleasant to talk to, everything was explained thoroughly and any queries we had she answered. We felt totally at ease with her, something that i can imagine can be quite daunting for some people. Thanks again Stephanie for all you helpDella and Steve

This is the second time we used Askews and I must say, they are the most responsive and reliable solicitors I have ever used (and we have tried a few).Lauren D'Arcy looked after our account and she was absolutely incredible! Completely on it, nothing was too much trouble, very fast at responding to our questions and overall a lovely, lovely person. She is an absolute asset to the company and we are so grateful for all her work that led to swift completion of our sale. We will be using Askews again in the future. Thank you once again Lauren, you are brilliant!

Just used Askews for a recent house sale. All went smoothly, got back quickly if I had any questions. Personally I found it difficult filling the forms in online as I had to use my phone as I haven’t got a lap top. Apart from that all good
