FAQs

Commonly asked questions on property disputes.

1. What is a property dispute?

A property dispute is any dispute that relates to property or real estate. A property dispute can be over residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural property, or any combination of these.

Some of the most common examples of property disputes are:

  • Landlord, tenant and rent recovery disputes
  • Possession and forfeiture claims
  • Neighbour disputes and water ingress claims
  • Boundary and party wall disputes
  • Freehold disputes
  • Disputes over management fees or over the conduct of a managing agent

Please note we also handle commercial property disputes, including services for portfolio landlords. 

2. How long does a property dispute take to resolve?

This is heavily dependent on the nature of the property dispute and the willingness of the other side to settle the matter.

Many straightforward property disputes can be resolved within a timeframe of 2 to 6 months, however more complex issues can take between 6 to 24 months to resolve.

To resolve your property dispute quickly, you will need to seek legal advice as soon as possible. Early involvement from a property dispute solicitor will ensure issues are resolved quickly, therefore saving money and time in the long run.

3. How much does a property dispute case cost?

Again, fees vary depending on the nature and complexity of the dispute. We offer a range of fixed fees on some landlord and tenant services, while for other dispute types, we will need to discuss your matter in more detail before preparing a cost estimate.

Typically, fees for most property dispute issues range between £1,200 to £10,000 plus VAT but excluding disbursements.

4. Do you offer legal aid for property dispute matters?

Our firm is unable to offer legal aid on any services and we are not currently taking on any clients on a pro bono basis. For tenants in social housing who are experiencing issues, we would recommend contacting Lawstop.
