Frequently asked questions

  • What are property disputes?

    Property disputes are conflicts that arise around a property or properties. Examples include disagreements about rent payments, property boundaries and sales and purchases.


    While disputes are common, they can quickly become complicated. That's why it's often worth seeking the advice of a specialist property solicitor. As experts in property law, they can advise you of your rights and – if necessary – help you construct a strong case for litigation.

  • How are property disputes settled?

    There are several ways to resolve property disputes. In the best-case scenario, you may be able to resolve your differences through discussion and compromise. If the dispute escalates, however, it may call for legal action.


    Our property lawyers are dedicated to resolving disputes quickly and effectively. While we have a proven track record in property litigation, we'll also explore alternative routes to help you reach a satisfactory conclusion with minimal stress.

  • Which court handles property disputes?

    If a property dispute becomes a legal challenge, its outcome will be decided in court. Several courts can deal with property disputes, including the County Court, High Court and Technology and Construction Court.


    If you've been threatened by legal action, our property litigation lawyers can help you build the strongest possible case for court – or better still, avoid court action altogether.

  • Can a disputed property be sold?

    Yes, you can sell a property that's subject to a dispute. However, it may be harder to find a buyer while a dispute is in progress.


    As a seller, you're obliged to inform buyers of certain problems. This includes ongoing or potential disputes, as well as things like flood risks and energy efficiency issues.
