Our property disputes and litigation services

Boundary disputes

The boundaries between one property and another are not always clear, often causing disputes between neighbours.

If your neighbour has encroached the boundary line between your property and their own, for instance by building onto your land, or accessing your land without your permission, we can support you to solve this type of dispute. Equally, if you have been accused of crossing the boundary line yourself, we can assist you here too.

Boundary disputes can occur for a number of reasons, for example, disagreements about the placement of fences or hedges, driveways, or access rights.

Before you pursue a boundary dispute it is important to seek legal support, to ensure that you understand your rights and position. Our property lawyers on the Isle of Wight will take care of the confusion and help you to resolve your dispute as quickly as possible.

Frequently asked questions about property disputes and litigation

How long does it take to resolve a property dispute?

The complexity of the case and the possibility of pursuing litigation means that there is no standard timeframe for resolving a property dispute. Whilst court proceedings can take up to 18 months for a judge to reach a decision, alternative dispute resolution can mean disputes can be resolved in a matter of months.

Property disputes can be settled out of court, and this is usually the most advisable method to save money and relationships.

What are the types of property disputes?

The most common types of property dispute include:

• Boundary disputes
• Landlord and tenant disputes
• Title disputes
• Easement disputes
• Construction disputes
• Nuisance complaints

However, there are many extremely niche types of property dispute, as one can arise over any property-related disagreement.

Rest assured that our solicitors have expertise in all areas of property law and will be able to address even the most complex of disputes.

What are the differences between residential and commercial property disputes?

The primary point of difference between residential and commercial property disputes lies in the involved stakeholders. Because residential properties usually involve individual parties, disputes commonly arise over issues such as tenancy, contracts and damage claims.

Commercial property disputes tend to involve businesses and usually require more strenuous legal processes due to the finances involved, these may take longer to resolve than residential disputes. Common sources of commercial property disputes may include planning permission issues, or issues with access rights and easements.
