Property disputes
Disputes relating to land and property can be both complex and stressful, typically arising out of a series of events spanning several months or sometimes years. Given the stakes involved, often with emotions running high on both sides, parties to a property dispute can easily become entrenched in long-standing feuds, not least when involving neighbouring land.
Property disputes are not only commonplace, but can cover a broad range of issues, from how land is used, together with any individual rights and restrictions over that land, to claims for legal ownership after prolonged possession or even problems with unlawful occupation.
Where a dispute over land or property has arisen, seeking early expert advice can help to prevent the matter from escalating, minimising the amount of stress involved. In this way, you can explore all options available to you, assess where you stand and take proactive steps to resolve the dispute in the easiest, quickest and most cost-effective way possible.
What we do for our clients
At Farnworth Rose Solicitors we have extensive experience in representing clients in all kinds of land and property disputes. These include boundary and Party Wall Act disputes, claims around restrictive covenants, private nuisance claims, adverse possession claims, easements such as rights to light and rights of way, or problems with squatters and trespassers.
We take the time to understand the factual matrix and pertinent issues involved in a client’s property dispute. We also provide clear and practical advice on how to resolve such disputes swiftly and efficiently. We are experts in handling these types of cases, helping our clients to establish a balance between enforcing their rights and finding an acceptable way forward.
From experience, we know that these disputes can, unless carefully and tactically managed, become disproportionate to the issues involved. With that in mind, wherever possible, we help our clients to resolve their matter through negotiation, mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution. Still, there are occasions when a settlement may not be possible. In the event that litigation is unavoidable, our specialist property dispute solicitors will provide full legal representation in court, working with and supporting our clients at every stage.
