Frequently Asked Questions
A property litigation solicitor helps clients resolve disputes relating to land, property, and buildings. This includes issues between landlords and tenants, boundary disagreements, rights of way, restrictive covenants, and ownership disputes. Our team provides practical property dispute legal advice to protect your interests and achieve a swift resolution.
If you believe a neighbour has built on or encroached over your boundary, it’s important not to take matters into your own hands. Gather evidence such as title deeds, Land Registry plans, and photographs, then contact a boundary dispute lawyer. They can assess ownership, communicate with your neighbour’s representatives, and take legal action if necessary to protect your property rights.
Most boundary disputes can be resolved through careful analysis of title plans, old conveyances, and physical features on the ground. Mediation or negotiation is often the best first step. If agreement can’t be reached, your solicitor can apply to the Land Registry or court for a definitive ruling on the boundary line.
Common disputes include: ● Boundary and right of way disagreements ● Lease breaches or rent arrears ● Service charge or repair disputes ● Claims for trespass or nuisance ● Breach of restrictive covenants Our property litigation solicitors have experience handling all types of residential and commercial property disputes.
If you have a right of way over someone else’s land, or they claim one over yours, the exact rights and obligations will depend on the title deeds and historic use. A right of way dispute solicitor can review the documents, advise on your position, and help you enforce or defend your access rights.
We act for both landlords and tenants in disputes involving rent arrears, breaches of lease terms, repair obligations, dilapidations, and possession claims. Your solicitor will work to resolve the matter quickly and cost-effectively, whether through negotiation, mediation, or formal proceedings.
Yes. Many property disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or other forms of alternative dispute resolution. These methods are usually quicker, less costly, and less stressful than litigation. Your solicitor will always explore settlement options before recommending court action.
If negotiation fails, your solicitor will prepare your case and represent you in the Property Chamber (Land Registration division) or county court. They will ensure all evidence is presented clearly and argue your position to achieve the best possible outcome.
Costs depend on the complexity of the issue, whether court action is required, and how long the dispute lasts. Your solicitor will provide a clear cost estimate upfront and may offer fixed fees for specific stages of work.
