Buying a property for you and your family is one of the largest investments we ever make. It is therefore natural that our top priority will be to protect it. When property disputes arise, life can suddenly become stressful.
Property disputes
Whether you’re wishing to start or defend a property dispute, our Dispute Resolution solicitors will provide you with practical and pragmatic advice in order to protect your property interests. We can assist with:
Landlord and Tenant disputes such as rent reviews, business lease renewals, dilapidations, breach of covenants, possession claims (forfeiture and applications for relief), break clauses, service charges disputes, claims against former tenants and landlord’s consent issues.
Neighbour disputes such as rights of light, boundary disputes, Party Wall Act issues, access to neighbouring land and nuisance including noise complaints.
Residential possession actions including Rent Act tenancies, Assured Shorthold Tenancies, actions against squatters/trespassers and adverse possession claims.
Issues affecting your property/land such as restrictive covenants, access issues such as rights of way and other easement disputes, adverse possession and trespass claims.
Building and constructions disputes including claims against main contractors including issues involving Joint Contracts Tribunal (JCT) contracts and associated sub-contractors. We can offer independent advice on the JCT contract to help alleviate any concerns and minimise your risks in the future.
Professional negligence claims against property professionals such as surveyors, architects and solicitors where they have provided negligent advice or been in breach of their contract with you.
Important things to consider
