We sold and purchased a property with the support from Chanel Brown at Askews. Chanel is by far the best solicitor we have ever used. She consistently updated us so we didn’t feel the need to ever chase things up. Chanel is friendly, kind and patient and made the whole process stress-free, something we didn’t think was possible when selling / buying a house. We cannot recommend Chanel enough, we feel we have a solicitor for life. Thank you so much!

Having worked with Pardeep and his team before, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. If you’re looking for a team that will fight your corner, lift every stone, get answers where others can’t (be bothered), tenacious and determined conveyancing warriors… don’t hesitate. Chanel was amazing. We were expecting a sprint but Chanel didn’t falter when it turned into a marathon… wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you 🙏🏻

We had a fantastic experience with Chanel Brown, who helped us throughout the purchase of our property. She was extremely helpful, professional and supportive from start to finish. Chanel kept us informed throughout the whole process, explained everything clearly and was always there to answer any questions we had. Buying a property can be quite stressful, but Chanel made the whole process feel much easier and gave us complete confidence that everything was being dealt with properly. We are extremely grateful for all her hard work and would highly recommend Chanel to anyone looking for a solicitor. Thank you so much for helping us get into our new home!

I have just completed the purchase of my first house. I was assisted in the process by Zouhra Sharif who was helpful and conscientious throughout.

My brother and I recently used Askews to sell our mother's property. Our lead solicitor was Chanel Brown who from the start of the process to completion was excellent. She kept us updated at all stages and was very clear and efficient in her correspondence and what was required from us, responding to any queries in a very timely manner. I felt we were well supported in the process and would definitely recommend her and the company for conveyancing matters.

Sumera was very professional, but also helpful and friendly in all of our interactions. She was very thorough in making sure that everything was correct legally and that I fully understood the documents I was required to sign by my employer, explaining everything clearly to me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Askews Legal and will certainly use them in the future if I am in need of a solicitor.
