Property Issues

Tenancies

Whether you are granting a residential tenancy, or wish to bring a tenancy to an end, we can provide the necessary documentation and expertise to ensure that all goes as smoothly as possible. Where Court proceedings are unavoidable we can advise on the best way to obtain possession.

Property disputes

Use our expertise to resolve disagreements between neighbours, or to resolve boundary disputes, or rights that might have been acquired in another person’s property.

Dealing with a dispute, whether small or large, can be stressful especially if you are unsure about the cost and the procedures involved. We can provide practical and specialist advice with the aim of resolving your dispute quickly and cost effectively. Advice at an early stage can often save time, expense and anxiety.

Wherever possible we will try to settle disputes by negotiation. In many cases, disputes can be resolved by using alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation. These procedures tend to be more informal and less adversarial than going to Court.

There are occasions however when Court action is necessary. In such a situation you can rest assured that you will be provided with a robust and efficient presentation of your case in order to gain the best result for you. We aim to provide a high quality service and will deal with your matter in a friendly and professional manner. We also work hard to ensure that there is regular communication so that you are kept informed about the progress of your case.

Commercial Property

Whether you are a landlord or a tenant you need to have the peace of mind of knowing where you stand and what your responsibilities are going to be when a lease is granted. If something does go wrong, the lease (if properly drawn up) will provide for what should happen next. Make sure that you enter into such arrangements after having taken proper legal advice.
