Civil Litigation Solicitors for Neighbour Disputes
Wherever we choose to live, there often comes a time when a neighbour can become a nuisance. Most of the time, disputes occur over minor troubles that can be overlooked however, on occasions, these can turn out to be more unpleasant.
Our team of Litigating Lawyers are often presented with disputes between neighbours that commonly involve harassment, unauthorised building projects, right of way and fence disputes.
Although these are the most common disputes, we also work with the following:
- Anti-social behaviour
- Boundary & Land disputes
- Breach of covenant
- Construction disputes
- Fencing issues
- Japanese Knotweed issues
- Right of way
Approaching your neighbours with any of these issues can be stressful and overwhelming, especially where they choose to be uncooperative. We always recommend trying your best to communicate with your neighbour on these issues to the best of your ability. However, if you are on the receiving end of intimidating and irrational behaviour, it is likely that you will need legal advice to resolve the matter.
Taking action
Civil litigation is the process of dispute resolution between two or more parties that are in a disagreement over a civil matter. Civil law can grant individuals the right to compensation or for specific action to be made that legally resolves the dispute. With that being said, court proceedings can be costly and time-consuming, therefore we will always aim to resolve disputes without the need for a judgement.
Alternative Dispute Resolution is a method we often use to resolve disputes without court proceedings. Our expert litigation solicitors will swiftly act on your behalf, making it clear to the other side what is it you want to achieve. We will be honest and tell you which aspects of your claim have merit, and those that do not. Rest assured, we will explore all the options available, so that you can make an informed and cost-effective decision.
