Some of the most common problems that a lawyer for property disputes can help resolve include:
Boundary disputes over commercial properties or development sites: Conflicts can arise over boundary lines, particularly in large property developments or high-value commercial spaces. A solicitor will review the title deeds, work with land surveyors to establish the accuracy of boundary lines, and review any agreements between the parties involved.
Contract breaches: A property dispute lawyer might need to get involved in a situation where one or more parties fail to comply with the terms of a valid property contract. Legal representation ensures that settlements are negotiated effectively and that your commercial and property interests are protected.
Commercial rental disputes: Landlords and commercial tenants frequently encounter disagreements over rent increases, maintenance responsibilities, lease renewals, and termination notices. A legal expert can assist in negotiating settlements and drafting agreements to help resolve disputes efficiently and protect your interests.
Ownership disputes involving trusts or family-owned commercial properties: In cases where property ownership is tied to family groups or trusts, we provide legal advice to resolve disputes with an emphasis on protecting high-value assets and maintaining commercial stability.
Non-disclosure of material facts: Disputes often arise when a purchaser of a commercial property discovers defects or issues not disclosed during the sale. Our lawyers review sale contracts, assess disclosure obligations, and assist clients in pursuing claims for compensation where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Property Dispute Attorney
When would I need a property dispute lawyer?
There are many situations where legal support can be beneficial — from boundary and ownership disagreements to disputes involving rental agreements, rent increases, or alleged non-disclosure of property defects. Engaging a property dispute lawyer ensures you receive guidance that reflects your legal obligations and protects your interests.
Can’t I just represent myself?
While self-representation is possible, property law can be complex. An experienced lawyer brings in-depth legal knowledge and a strategic understanding of how to approach disputes effectively, including managing communications, preparing documentation, and advising on dispute resolution pathways. Their involvement can also be valuable if the matter progresses to court or post-trial options need to be explored.
What does the process involve?
The process will vary depending on your circumstances. Initially, we’ll schedule a discussion to collect background information and determine whether we’re best placed to assist. If we proceed, we may begin by reviewing relevant documents, identifying legal issues, and exploring negotiation or resolution options. Formal litigation is considered only where necessary, and we’ll guide you through every step.
How much will a property dispute lawyer cost?
Costs depend on the complexity of your matter and the scope of work involved. We provide transparent fee estimates once we understand your situation. We also offer a free 15-minute initial call to gather basic information and assess whether we may be able to assist further. Read Less
