Types of property disputes we advise on

Property disputes vary considerably depending on the type of property, the relationship between the parties and what is at stake.

Our property disputes practice is divided into two main areas:

Commercial property disputes

We advise commercial landlords and tenants, property owners, investors, developers and businesses on disputes involving commercial property.

Commercial property disputes often require more than simply establishing which party is legally right. The value of the property, continuing business relationships, future development plans, the remaining lease term and the cost and disruption of litigation can all influence the appropriate strategy.

Our solicitors can advise both on your legal position and the practical options for protecting your commercial interests.

Residential property disputes

We advise homeowners, property owners, landlords, leaseholders and freeholders on disputes concerning residential property.

Some residential disputes involve a person's home and can become highly entrenched. Others involve substantial investments, portfolios or valuable development opportunities. Early advice can be particularly important before positions become fixed or significant legal costs are incurred.

How we can help you

The right approach depends on the dispute. Starting court proceedings immediately is rarely the only option and can sometimes make resolution more difficult or expensive.

We can help by:

• reviewing leases, transfers, title documents, contracts, correspondence and other relevant evidence;

• assessing the strength and realistic value of a claim or defence;

• identifying urgent steps needed to protect a property or legal position;

• advising on the commercial and costs implications of different options;

• making or responding to settlement proposals;

• using mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution;

• making applications to the courts, First-tier Tribunal, Upper Tribunal or Land Registry where appropriate; and

• conducting property litigation through to trial or final hearing where a negotiated solution cannot be achieved.

We act for both claimants and defendants.
