Property Disputes
Disputes about a property – whether they are with a neighbour, a co-owner or the co-beneficiaries of a Will – can be stressful and complicated to resolve.
Our experienced Dispute Resolution team has vast experience in helping clients navigate a wide range of personal property disputes, including:
- Adverse possession – somebody is occupying a property or piece of land that you own and is laying claim to the title due to having stayed there for a long time, or you need to make a claim against them to avoid losing access to your property
- Right of way or easement disputes – a disagreement over the right to access land or the terms under which a person is allowed to do so
- Rights by prescription – disputes over whether a right of way should be granted due to continuous long use
- Disputes under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act – this is a piece of legislation that gives the courts the power to make decisions relating to disputes between the co-owners of a property
- Boundary disputes – disputes relating to the boundary of a property, often between neighbours
