Our team of property dispute experts will help you resolve your situation quickly, efficiently, and with as little hassle as possible.

Here are just some of the areas we cover:

- Rights of way – Questions over shared access routes or easements.
- Landlord and tenant issues – Rent arrears, service charge disputes, or eviction help.
- Co-ownership disagreements – Sorting out ownership shares in joint properties.

Common Residential Property Disputes
Disputes come in all shapes and sizes. Here are some examples of the most common ones we deal with:
- A disagreement with a neighbour over the use of a shared access way.
- Confusion or disagreements about where the boundary between properties lies.
- Arguments with neighbours about parking rights.
- Disputes between joint property owners about shares or responsibilities.
- Issues with tenants who are behind on rent or refuse to leave a property.
- Challenges around lease renewals or service charges from landlords.
Every dispute is different, but one thing is true for all: the sooner you get legal advice, the easier it will be to find a resolution.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Not every disagreement needs to end up in court. In fact, it’s often better to settle disputes amicably when possible. We specialize in ADR options like:
- Negotiation – Helping you reach an agreement that works for everyone.
- Mediation – Facilitating discussions to find a compromise.
- Arbitration and conciliation – Offering structured, non-court solutions.
These methods can save you time, money, and stress while helping you maintain good relationships.
