How our property dispute solicitors help.

  • Landlord & tenant disputes – We assist landlords with lease disagreements and rent arrears by enforcing lease terms and recovering unpaid rent, resolve service charge disputes for leaseholders and guide clients through lawful evictions and possession claims.
  • Boundary & ownership disputes – We provide expert guidance on boundary disputes over land ownership, clarify legal property lines, advise on rights of way and access issues including easements, and support both landowners and claimants in adverse possession claims.
  • Leasehold & freehold disputes – Our team advises on lease extension disputes, challenges unreasonable or excessive service charges and supports leaseholders in acquiring their freehold through purchase or lease enfranchisement.
  • Property possession and eviction – If you need to evict tenants and regain possession of a property, we guide you through the correct legal process from start to finish, ensuring compliance with the law and safeguarding your interests throughout.
  • Building and planning disputes – Development projects often involve legal challenges, from planning permissions to construction disputes. We assist landowners and developers in resolving regulatory issues and contractual disagreements efficiently.
  • Property contract disputes – Disputes often arise during the purchase, sale or lease of property. Our property dispute solicitors advise on breach of contract claims, misrepresentation and enforcing contractual obligations.
  • Restrictive covenants – Land use restrictions can lead to disputes between neighbours, developers or landowners. We advise on enforcing, modifying or challenging restrictive covenants to protect and maximise your property rights.
  • Rent recovery and service charge disputes – We support landlords and leaseholders in recovering unpaid rent and resolving service charge disputes efficiently, with clear advice based on lease obligations.
