Neighbour Disputes

Resolving disputes with neighbours

Getting involved in a neighbour dispute can not only affect your enjoyment of your home, but if the matter is not handled expertly it may also reduce the asking price when you come to sell. If you find yourself in this situation, you should seek advice urgently from one of our award-winning property litigation lawyers.

Over the years we have been able to help many clients resolve a wide range of high value, private property related disputes, including:

  • Boundary disputes
  • Disagreements over rights of way and other easements
  • Trespass to land and nuisances
  • Party wall disputes under the Party Wall Act 1996

We have contacts with a number of other property professionals, so if we need to involve an expert witness such as a surveyor, we will be able to put you in touch with the right person.

Our specialist neighbour dispute solicitors will take the time to understand the full history of the dispute. They will often arrange a site visit before going through the options with you to find the best and most cost-effective solution. At an early stage, we will consider other ways of resolving the dispute without going to court (where possible).

Addressing a dispute with neighbours promptly is crucial for minimising stress, costs, and the potential for long-term damage to relationships. Our approach prioritises achieving a swift and lasting resolution, allowing you to restore peace of mind and enjoyment in your home, while safeguarding its value.
