Property Dispute Solicitors

Disputes relating to land and property can be both complex and stressful, typically arising out of a series of events spanning several months or sometimes years. Given the stakes involved, often with emotions running high on both sides, parties to a property dispute can easily become entrenched in long-standing feuds, not least when involving neighbouring land.

Property disputes are not only commonplace, but can cover a broad range of issues, from how land is used, together with any individual rights and restrictions over that land, to claims for legal ownership after prolonged possession or even problems with unlawful occupation.

Where a dispute over land or property has arisen, seeking early expert advice can help to prevent the matter from escalating, minimising the amount of stress involved. In this way, you can explore all options available to you, assess where you stand and take proactive steps to resolve the dispute in the easiest, quickest and most cost-effective way possible.

Our expert property disputes solicitors can help home owners, landlords and tenants solve issues as quickly as possible.

In the event that litigation is unavoidable, our specialist property dispute solicitors will provide full legal representation in court, working with and supporting our clients at every stage.
