I am currently using Askews for a range of services after the sudden passing of my mum. After helping me to write my will I knew Stephanie was the right person to go to when I needed to go through probate for my mum. She was very supportive and helpful and always quick to respond with any queries I had. I would highly recommend and am now using the conveyancing team to help me sell a house, who again are really helpful and responsive.

I recently sold my property and purchased a new home. Jane and Gurpreet were efficient, responsive and patient throughout. They kept me informed at all points; I didn’t expect them to work such long and unusual hours! A great service and I can’t thank them both enough for all their hard work. They were recommended to me by my colleague and I can now see why, as they are such a great company. Thanks again.
