We returned to Askew's for a second time and again were delighted with their service. Maira was efficient, responded to emails and calls quickly, and ensured a smooth sale, despite some delays along the way. At all times she was professional and calm, knowledgable and inspired confidence in us. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Askews.

We worked with Sunitum Dhillon on our property sale and purchase. Sunitum went out of her way to help us on our property purchase which had many challenging heardles to overcome. She worked above and beyond to ensure the property purchase could move forward and we are extremely grateful for all the help she gave (outside of her normal remit) on both of our transactions. It was clear that Sunitum cared about our sale and purchase, and communication was thorough and clear, and we felt very well looked after. She advised us properly and ensured we were best placed to make difficult decisions during the process. She communicated extremely well with our onward purchase solicitor, and problem-solved together, as the sellers we were buying from were tricky, and the estate agent non-existent. Sunitum spoke to us regularly, and corresponded with our seller's solicitor on the phone, which is a rareity these days. We also liked that there was a technical team available to check things for us as we were buying a Listed property, and filling out the protocol forms online made the first steps a lot easier as we didn't need to attend the office. Sunitum, thank you again for all of your hard work and everything you have done for us. We gratefully appreciate the extra mile you put in to help us move, and we are very happy in our new home. We reccomend working with Sunitum and her team.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Karen Reardan who has helped me with my divorce. Karen has been very supportive throughout this and has always explained everything to me very clearly and has done her job flawlessly. I would highly recommend Karen and Askews Solicitors.

Just wanted to give a quick thanks to Askews Legal team, namely Shyam and Candice who have both helped a case I recently had to deal with. The team were very helpful and supportive throughout and gave us clear advice as and when necessary. I would highly recommend Askews Legal, so once again, thank you very much from myself and all of my family.
