Settlement can often reduce both costs and uncertainty. Where settlement is achievable on sensible terms, we will actively encourage it.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Property Litigation
What is a TOLATA claim?
This is a claim made under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996. Such claims commonly arise where there is a dispute regarding ownership of a property or the extent of a person’s interest in it. The court has the power to determine the extent of each party’s interest and, where appropriate, make orders regarding occupation or sale.
Can I force the sale of jointly owned property?
This is a complex area of law but potentially, yes. The court has the power to order the sale of jointly owned property in appropriate circumstances, although whether such an order will be made will depend on a number of factors.
What should I do if I have a boundary dispute?
You should obtain early legal advice. Boundary disputes can quickly become costly, time-consuming and damaging to relationships with neighbours. Early legal advice can often help save time and expense at a later date by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your case and preventing the dispute from escalating unnecessarily.
Can property disputes be resolved without court proceedings?
In fact, many property disputes are resolved without court proceedings. Often a resolution can be reached through negotiation, mediation or other forms of NCDR (non-court dispute resolution). Whilst court proceedings are sometimes unavoidable, they should generally be regarded as a last resort.
How much will a property dispute cost?
Every property dispute is different, and the costs involved will depend upon the nature and complexity of the dispute, as well as the approach taken by the parties involved and, of course, whether the dispute settles by agreement out of court or whether court proceedings become necessary. We always provide realistic information regarding likely costs at the outset and keep our clients informed throughout.
