Pardeep was very professional and thoroughly explained everything,I rang him when the house was going through and he was at home cooking his children’s dinnerbut yet still he had time to answer my questions in detail.he made everything run very smoothly during a stressful time.If you decide to use Askews, I highly recommend you deal with Pardeep direct,Because I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

What seemed to be nightmare of a sale turned into a beautiful dream when Mr. Pardeep Kandola got involved in the sale of my property.What was estimated at being between 16-20 weeks (with no chain) seemed like it was taking forever when we were 6, 7 months and still no talks of exchange due to issues on the other side.Frustration was high and when it was coming towards 9 months I had spoke to Mr. Pardeep Kandola who then I’d like to say diligently and single handed got in contact with the relevant people and copied me into everything. He was extremely thorough in pushing the final stages over the line and I’d like to thank him for his efforts and patience.Would recommend these guys and thanks again Pardeep will definitely be in touch again.

Ruth was my solicitor throughout my divorce journey which lasted nigh on 10 years. She was always supportive during this time and regularly gave me great advice which I am truly grateful for. I would highly recommend her for anyone going through a similar process.

We felt Askews ( Pavinder) had poor communication with us. If it wasn't for us communicating with our buyers and sellers we wouldn't have known what stage we were all at regarding our move. Constant asking what stage we were at and waiting for responses from them. It would have been less stressful if they updated us more.Their Portual was useless, especially when they hadn't checked to see if the right forms had gone on. Very frustrating sending the same form again and again. Took a few weeks for them to realiseWe thank Simran for her hard work near the completion of our sale and purchase and Shortland Horne ( Shelley) who took on the role off chasing things up between solicitors.Stressful experience
