I've used askews twice now, first for a sale of a commercial property and lately for my residential home. Both times a very good service and competitive fees. I will use them in future for all my legal requirements.

My experience with Askews has been absolutely amazing thanks to Sumera. Sumera recently helped me with my employment settlement agreement. I was unsure of the process however Sumera kept me well informed and up to date throughout the whole process. She made going through this process a breeze. Would highly recommend Askews! Thank you once again.

We used Askews in the selling our house & purchase of our new home. Jane was fantastic especially after losing our first sale just before Christmas, she gave us lots of information about how to start again. Luckily it only took another month till we sold again. Jane & Stephen were brilliant, Stephen kept us informed of what was happening. We met with him in person on a couple of occasions as we didn't understand some of the legal wording. Would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for making moving house as smoothly as it could be. Liz & Paul Farmer

I had a fantastic experience with Askews Legal. Jane Ball and her team handled my conveyancing with exceptional care and attention to detail. If you're buying a property in Coventry, I highly recommend their services.
