Property Litigation Solicitors
Successfully guiding clients through even the most complex property disputes
Specialist property dispute support for individuals and businesses
Property disputes can be disruptive and stressful, but with the right legal advice they can be managed effectively. Our specialist property litigation team supports individuals, businesses, landlords, tenants and developers, providing clear and practical guidance tailored to your circumstances.
Types of property disputes we handle
We deal with a wide range of disputes, from lease renewals, rent and service charge disagreements and dilapidations claims to boundary issues, co-ownership disputes, rights of way and restrictive covenant matters. Our experience also includes advising on adverse possession claims, professional negligence involving surveyors or conveyancers, and complex development or option agreement disputes.
Our approach to resolving disputes
Wherever possible, we aim to resolve matters through negotiation or mediation to keep costs proportionate and disruption to a minimum. If court proceedings are required, our team will guide you through each stage with confidence and care.
How our expert team can help you
Commercial Property Disputes
We provide strategic legal support to landlords, tenants and developers facing commercial property disputes. Our team has extensive experience in lease renewals under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, dilapidations claims and breaches of lease agreements, including rent and service charge disputes. We also advise on forfeiture proceedings and claims arising from option and developer agreements. Our focus is on resolving disputes efficiently – whether through negotiation, mediation or litigation – helping you protect your commercial interests while minimising disruption to your business.
Residential property disputes
Disputes over residential property can be complex and emotionally charged. We assist property owners, landlords and tenants with co-ownership disagreements, boundary disputes, adverse possession claims and landlord-tenant matters, including possession claims and rent arrears recovery.
Our team also handles rights of way and restrictive covenant disputes, as well as professional negligence claims against conveyancers and surveyors. For properties let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies, we offer a fixed-fee repossession service. If you need advice on leasehold enfranchisement, missing landlords or lease extensions, we can guide you through the process with expert support.
