Detailed Information

Property disputes can be emotionally charged and financially significant. Our experienced property dispute team provides strategic advice and effective representation to resolve conflicts efficiently while protecting our clients' interests. We understand the importance of preserving relationships where possible while achieving the best outcome for our clients.

Boundary Disputes

Boundary disputes often arise from unclear property boundaries, adverse possession claims, or disagreements with neighbors. We investigate title documents, arrange boundary surveys, and work to establish accurate boundary lines. Where disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation, we represent clients in boundary hearings and court proceedings.

Title and Ownership Issues

Title disputes can prevent property sales or development projects. We investigate complex title issues, resolve adverse registrations, and pursue rectification of the Land Registry where necessary. Our team has extensive experience in dealing with unregistered land, possessory titles, and competing ownership claims.
