FAQs

Commonly asked questions on Commercial 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 and tenant disputes
  • Boundary disputes
  • Possession claims
  • Rent recovery
  • Contractual disputes

Facing a property dispute can be stressful and complicated. Our commercial property litigation solicitors can help business owners, landlords and commercial tenants solve issues as quickly as possible. 

2. How can I solve a property dispute?

To solve a property dispute, there are three stages:

1. Talk it out – depending on the size of your property dispute, we would advise you to try and resolve the situation informally first to avoid more costly measures.

2. Seek alternative dispute resolution (ADR) – ADR refers to any means of settling disputes outside of the courtroom. Some examples of ADR include mediation, conciliation, arbitration and negotiation. ADR can be formal or informal, legally binding or not, so you’ve got to do your homework first or speak to a solicitor.

3. Instruct a legal expert – A property dispute solicitor will ensure your case is legally robust and that a fair outcome to your matter is reached. Going to court can be costly whether you are making or defending a claim, which is why we try to avoid this if possible.

You don’t need to neccessarily go through each stage. For instance, if it’s a particularly serious property dispute you may just want to skip to stage 2 and 3.

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

The time frame for solving a property dispute depends entirely on the complexity of the matter, whether the parties need to seek legal advice, and the willingness of each party to negotiate and settle.

On average, a property dispute will take 3 months to resolve. The time it takes to resolve your specific property dispute matter may take longer depending on the severity of the issue, whether both parties are open to forms of ADR etc.

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.

4. How much does a property dispute case cost?

The cost of dispute resolution is entirely dependent on the type and severity of the property dispute.

However, to give you an idea of costs, if the property dispute were resolved through mediation (a form of ADR), the cost would be £1,000 per party per day in fees.

If ADR is unsuccessful and you need to take your matter further, you will need to instruct a solicitor for at least £300 an hour. For this hourly rate, a property dispute solicitor will construct your case and represent you in one of the following courts:

  • County Court
  • The High Court
  • Specialist Tribunals & Courts

Our commercial property dispute solicitors can guide you through the complex aspects of property law and help you to find a positive solution to your dispute. 

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

We are currently unable to offer legal aid in any capacity as we lack the necessary legal aid certificate. We also don’t offer pro bono property law work at present.
