This area covers what it means to own or control land and the rights that come with it, including title, boundaries, rights of way, and restrictive or benefitting covenants. A solicitor handles title checks, registers or updates ownership at the Land Registry, drafts or negotiates easements and covenants, advises on boundary disputes, trespass, and adverse possession, and represents clients seeking to protect or enforce ownership against neighbours, developers, or public authorities.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Ownership of land rests on title deeds and the register; a solicitor verifies titles, uncovers any third-party interests, and handles applications for title protection, registration, or removal of burdens. They draft and negotiate covenants or rights of way, advise on boundary evidence, and manage disputes that may involve surveyors, neighbours, or local authorities. They also guide clients through possible remedies and enforcement options when land rights are challenged or encroached upon.
