Really pleased with the service from Askews Legal. Sumera was very approachable, quick to respond to emails, and took the time to explain the agreement and its clauses clearly. Sumera was also happy to listen to my queries and make appropriate changes where needed. I felt well supported throughout and would definitely recommend Sumera and Askews Legal.

I have always used the services of Askews and will continue to do so - so very professional and helpful. Maira Farouk was excellent from start to finish in my latest matter! Despite all the hurdles we faced, Maira was great in explaining and resolving all issues, one by one with complete composure and desired results. Thank you also to Pritpal Chahal, a beacon of exemplary excellence - a full 5 stars once again!
Response from the owner:Dear Mr Panesar, thank you for your kind words. We try our best at all times and we are pleased to hear that we delivered for you. If we can be of assistance again in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us. Team Askews!

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received during my house move. Everything went incredibly smoothly, communication was excellent throughout, and everything was explained clearly whenever I had any questions. The whole process was completed much quicker than I expected, which made the move so much less stressful. I felt really well looked after from start to finish. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, efficient and reliable solicitor. Thank you for making the whole process so easy! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 🙏🏻
