Land & Property Disputes Services
We advise on a broad range of land and property disputes, tailoring our approach to the nature of the issue and the outcome you want to achieve.
Boundary disputes often arise after changes to fences or ownership. Although they may involve small areas, they can escalate quickly. Resolving them usually requires deeds, surveys and specialist legal advice.
Fence disputes concern ownership and responsibility for boundary structures. Title plans and “T marks” may indicate ownership. Interference or moving a fence can amount to trespass and may require legal action.
Neighbour disputes can seriously affect daily life and peace of mind. Issues commonly include boundaries, noise, access or nuisance. Early legal advice can help resolve matters and protect your enjoyment of your home.
Service charge disputes arise where costs are unclear, unreasonable or improperly demanded. Landlords must comply with lease terms and statutory rules. Leaseholders may challenge charges, including through the First-tier Tribunal.
Disputes involving insolvent tenants can raise complex issues around rent recovery, possession, and competing creditor rights. Clear legal advice helps landlords assess options, manage risk, and take proportionate action.
Rights of way disputes often arise between neighbours or landowners over access routes. These matters can be contentious and technical, requiring careful review of deeds, historic use, and practical solutions.
