Askews made buying my first house a lot less stressful than I thought it would be. Everything was handled quickly and I was only involved when needed. If you are local to Coventry then it is very reassuring and convenient to be able to visit face to face as well.

Askews as a team have been extremely efficient, patient and friendly, throughout the whole conveyancing process. Stephen in particular, took time to explain everything, which made the daunting task easier to navigate.We would not hesitate to highly recommend Askews to anyone in need of help.

Askews assisted my mum in recovering a large sum of money from my sister who sadly defrauded her out of greed. Not only was mum successful in recovering her losses, the whole matter was swiftly dealt with avoiding years of litigation that would have had a significant impact to mum due to her age. Thanks to Askews mum is now comfortably retired and living her best life.

Great service from Askews Legal LLP for my property conveyancing. It took slightly longer than expected, but Paul Hewerdine and Harpreet Matharu were very helpful and professional throughout. Would definitely recommend.
