I’m extremely happy with the service provided by Askews. Sumera was really understanding, very efficient and I couldn’t have asked for a better Solicitor to help me through my situation. She was extremely kind and patient, helped me understand my rights, and was just an all round lovely person.Thank you Askews for such a great service

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!
