This work covers disputes about ownership, use, and transfer of land and buildings in England. It includes issues such as boundary and rights of way, co-ownership and trusts of land, adverse possession, disputes over leases and tenancies, and problems arising from buying, selling or mortgaging property. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates settlements, prepares pleadings, advises on evidence and remedies, and represents the client in county or high court proceedings where needed.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The specific act or decision could decisively affect ownership rights, occupancy, rent, or financial exposure. A solicitor provides guidance on likely remedies, deadlines for responding to claims, and the procedural steps to protect the client’s position in court or in negotiations.
