COVID 19
We can reassure you that our residential property specialists continue to be at your side to provide the assistance and advice that you may need to navigate through any additional issues caused by COVID-19. Read some of the great feedback we have received from clients that have moved home during these challenging times:
"Communication and explanation was superb even after the lockdown when Charlene and Jackie were working from home. Even your telephonist was always positive, professional and helpful during these challenging times. Massive thanks." Martin Burt
"Neves acted for me on my purchase (first time buyer) of a leasehold property in London. Haneef Khan was my Conveyancing Executive and he was fantastic - very knowledgeable, extremely responsive and great attention to detail. Haneef steered me through all aspects of the transaction and advised me on how to deal with issues that arose. Purchasing a property can be a stressful situation, especially for a first time buyer (and during a pandemic), but Haneef made sure everything ran smoothly and took the time to answer all my silly questions promptly. I never had to chase him! A really great service and I wouldn't hesitate recommending Neves/Haneef to anyone looking to instruct a conveyancing solicitor." Sophie
"Haqib, my family and I wanted to thank you for all your hard work over the past 6 months. It was a challenging transaction that was a very big deal for myself, my mother, brother and wife and thanks to your effort it all went smoothly in the end. You and your team provide an excellent service and as before I will highly recommend you to others. I would like to end with thanking you and your team for your ongoing patience, as I know my frequency in communication was much more than some clients! I wish you all the best for the future and hope everyone stays safe in these testing times." Aamir Siddiqui
"Trevor, Kay and the team were proactive, thorough and efficient, covering all issues raised in a timely fashion. Communication with them was clear and concise. I can wholeheartedly recommend them for conveyancing. They managed to get us through to exchange and completion before the June stamp duty threshold expired saving us a considerable sum of money" Michael Dring

Buying or selling a Home
Whether you are buying or selling a property can be daunting and exciting at the same time. Our residential property team understand this and will act to ensure the process is as efficient and as transparent as possible.
Remortgages
Remortgages should be quick, efficient, cost-effective and relatively pain-free as you already own the property and all that is happening is you are replacing one mortgage with another. However often this is not the experience of clients who opt to use the Lender’s solicitor on a “free legal service” basis.
Transfers of Equity
A transfer of equity is required where the ownership of the property is to change but at least one of the original owners will remain as an owner, which is different to a sale and purchase of the property where the original owner will have no continued interest in the property.
Land purchases and sales
The buying and selling of land is almost identical in process to that of property conveyancing, but land only transactions do present unique challenges so it is essential that you use a professional advisor who is experienced in this area.
Leasehold Property and Extensions and Management
Owners of leasehold properties have options to extend their existing leases, take over the management of the common parts (collectively with neighbours) and/or purchase the freehold either as individual house owner or as the owner of a flat collectively with neighbours. Neves Solicitors has offices in Harpenden, Luton & Milton Keynes so we are able to provide legal services across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.
Boundary Disputes
There are different types of boundary disputes including those between commercial and agricultural neighbours but the most common is between neighbours in residential properties. It is not surprising that the number of boundary disputes continues to increase as more and more houses are built.
Cohabitation Agreements
If you are buying a property with your partner it is a good idea to agree at the outset whether you will own the property in equal or unequal shares, and what contributions you will make to the purchase price, mortgage and ongoing costs of running and improving the property with a Cohabitation Agreement.
Understanding Conveyancing
If you are buying your first home or moving home, no doubt you will have many questions about the process. Here we answer some of the commonly asked questions.
