    We used Neves for very recent house sale, our solicitor was Trevor and he was fantastic! Always exceedingly prompt to respond to ours, the estate agent and the vendors solicitor enquiries and requests. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him. No affiliation just a very happy client.

    Haneef Khan provided exceptional service during our remortgage process. His professionalism, clear communication, and attention to detail made the experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Haneef and the team at Neves Solicitors for their outstanding support.

    My experience with Haqib Iqbal and his team with the sale of my parents retirement property was nothing short of excellent. Everything was explained and calls were returned promptly, even when Haqib was not in the office. I would recommend Haqib and his team one hundred percent when buying or selling your property. My parents property sale was not straightforward. I was left in no doubt whatsoever in it being handled very professionally and brought to exchange and completion with expert ease. Thanks again for everything.

    I would like to take this opportunity to thank Haneef Khan and his team for an absolute pleasure of a service in conveyancing for our 1st purchase. Haneef was clear in communication from the onset and made the whole experience streamlined and efficient. We managed to beat the stamp duty deadline and completed in record time! He is an invaluable asset to Neves and I will be recommending him to friends and family for ant conveyancing needs! Thankyou once again

    Exceptional Service from Start to Finish We recently completed the purchase of our new home and the sale of our previous home, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received from Trevor and the Neeves team. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly thorough. Every step of the process was clearly explained, and they always took the time to answer our questions and ensure we felt confident in decisions. Their attention to detail and calm, proactive approach helped the whole transaction run smoothly—even when challenges came up. We felt that my best interests were being looked after, and their communication throughout was excellent. We are truly grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a solicitor for property transactions. Thank you for making what can often be a stressful process so straightforward and positive!

Our History

In January 1867 Queen Victoria was less than halfway through her 63 year reign. In the UK, the streets were full of horses.  Gentlemen wore frock coats and wing collars whilst ladies sported voluminous skirts supported by hoops, petticoats, and or crinolines. There were no cars, no aeroplanes; no telephones and no computers. But what, you may ask, has this to do with business today?

Well, in Luton, a gentleman by the name of Walter Neve opened a solicitor’s office. Our firm, now called Neves Ltd, has offices in Milton KeynesLuton and Harpenden, making us over 150 years old.

However, it is not just the firm that is long established. At least one local family, the Cathcarts is able to proudly describe Neves as their ‘family solicitors’ for the past three generations. The Cathcarts have used Neves for both private and commercial property work on numerous occasions over the years. As Mrs Theresa Cathcart recalls; “Members of my family have used Neves for three generations. Their charm, politeness and efficiency combined with expertise in the latest aspects of law have meant that choosing Neves to conduct our legal business is our first and simplest choice.”

Our People

Our people are at the heart of who we are and what we do. As a forward-thinking law firm, we understand that our employees are central to our business, so we ensure our staff feel valued and motivated to find the best solutions for our clients. We handpick every team member to provide the best possible client experience, combining technical excellence with a pragmatic, straightforward approach.

These short videos introduce some of the members of the Neves Team where they talk about their roles and what they like to do outside of work.

5/5 Star review
We used Neves to purchase our first house. Our main communication was with Jackie who was helpful and responsive. We were impressed with the service overall although we did have a few occasions with slow replies/updates. Once we were close to the end of the process the service was very good and very prompt action was taken. As first time buyers, we would’ve benefited from a bit more explanation, however we would still recommend Neves and we would use them again.
