Disputes involving property can arise in many different situations and are often both stressful and disruptive. Whether the issue relates to your home, a business premises or land, it is important to take advice early to protect your position.


Property disputes can affect not only finances but also day-to-day living and business operations. We provide clear, practical advice to help resolve matters as efficiently as possible, whilst keeping the approach proportionate to the issue.

In a typical case, we would expect the following issues to arise:

Disputes between landlords and tenants, including rent arrears, breaches of lease terms and possession of property.

Neighbour disputes, including boundary disagreements and issues relating to rights of way or restrictive covenants.

Commercial lease disputes, including dilapidations, breaches of lease obligations and renewal of tenancies.

Disputes relating to ownership of land, including adverse possession claims. Disputes involving agricultural land and rural property.

Where possible, we will always look to resolve matters through discussion and negotiation in the first instance, as many disputes can be settled without the need for formal proceedings.

Should agreement not be reached, the following steps may be required:

We will review the position and advise you on your legal rights and options. We will correspond with the other party or their representatives to try and resolve the matter.

Where appropriate, mediation may be considered to assist in reaching a resolution.

If necessary, we can assist with issuing or defending court proceedings.

We understand that property disputes can be both practical and personal. Our aim is to provide straightforward advice and to resolve matters as quickly and effectively as possible. We offer an initial discussion to go through your situation and explain the options available to you. Where possible, we can provide clarity on likely costs from the outset.
