Excellent support from Parvinder and Ninoshka for a house sale. Only glitch was late afternoon the day before completion, we were given some forms to sign and get witnessed, with two pieces of identity required for the witness. I was 300 miles away and it was a slight panic to get a witness and documentation organised at such short notice. A notification a week prior that this would be required would have been useful to allow some planning. But it finally did go through smoothly.

Very helpful and dealt with everything I needed in a timely manner. Sumera went above and beyond to make sure my settlement agreement was fair. I would recommend Askews to anyone in need of legal advice or service.
