Property & Real Estate
Our barristers always seek to find the most cost-effective solution to property and real estate disputes for our clients, whether it is through mediation, arbitration or litigation.
We assist a range of clients, from individuals, partnerships and small businesses to multi-national corporations, with instructions received from professional clients and by Direct Access. We frequently appear before the lower and higher courts and specialist tribunals, such as First-Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) and the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal. The depth of experience in our Property and Chancery Team allows us to meet all levels of requirement.
Our expertise includes land sale and purchases, agricultural law, mortgages and land and property finance, conveyancing disputes, trusts, planning and development, restrictive covenants and easements, boundary disputes, tenancies and applications to the Land Registry.
We also advise and represent our clients on issues involving nuisance, trespass, rights of light, party walls, dilapidations and subsidence. We have a particular expertise in underground damage.
In property related matters, there may sometimes be an overlap with our Commercial Dispute Resolution, Planning and Environmental and Housing Teams, enabling us to bring a multi-disciplinary approach to the issues.
