Askews dealt with both the sale and purchase during my recent move. Throughout, Askews were a pleasure to work with and kept me updated with their progress. When the chain below me collapsed they took it in their stride and quickly caught up again once a new buyer came onboard. Definitely recommended.

I have chosen Askews Legal for their conveyancing services because they had a local branch and turned out to be the best decision I made in the process. The team has been very helpful and the communication was great. They kept me updated with the progress without overloading me with constant emails or calls. Everything went smooth and without any complications.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Askew Legal LLP, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist with any queries or concerns I had. They guided me through each step of the process with clarity and ensured everything was handled efficiently. Their attention to detail and dedication gave me confidence throughout. I believe they go above and beyond, often delivering more value than what they are paid for by their clients. Askew Legal LLP is a large enterprise that maintains an extremely professional service. I strongly recommend them to my good friends and anyone looking for reliable and expert legal services. Thank you for your excellent support!Note: I think it would be beneficial to prepare a Q&A sheet and provide it to customers at the beginning of the process to help minimize unnecessary questions. Additionally, reviewing and updating the Q&A sheet based on the common questions from clients would further enhance efficiency and you could enjoy valuable your time.
