Property litigation claims cover disputes about land, buildings, boundaries, rights of way, leases and mortgages, where the outcome may affect possession or use of property. A solicitor handles issuing or defending claims in the County Court or High Court, assembling title information, instructing surveyors and valuers, collecting documents, and coordinating with respondents, tenants or neighbours. They draft statements of case, exchange pleadings, apply for injunctions or orders, and guide clients through settlement negotiations or trial.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
In these matters the solicitor handles the provisions of the Civil Procedure Rules, disclosure and expert evidence, instructs property professionals, and manages rolling processes from pre-action steps to judgment and enforcement, including title checks with Land Registry and any needed applications for interim relief.
