Dealing with property issues can sometimes be complex - particularly when other parties are involved. That’s why contracts exist to help things run smoothly. And whether you own or rent property, at some stage you will probably enter into a contract with another party.
Contract Disputes
In short
Property contracts exist to set out everyone’s rights and responsibilities clearly, but disagreements still happen — between buyer and seller, landlord and tenant, or owner and contractor. If a property contract you’re relying on has broken down, our property solicitors can help you understand your position and put things right. Call 08082747557 for a free initial assessment.
Common types of property contract dispute
Dealing with property issues can get complicated, particularly once other parties are involved. We regularly help clients with disputes including:
- Lease disputes — disagreements between a freeholder and leaseholder over lease terms, repairs or maintenance responsibilities
- Construction disputes — issues between a property owner and a contractor over delays, the quality of workmanship, or non-compliance with building regulations
- Purchase disputes — disagreements between a buyer and seller over the condition of a property, or defects that weren’t disclosed before the sale completed
- Boundary disputes — conflicts with a neighbour over where a boundary runs, or access rights and shared amenities (see our dedicated boundary disputes guidance)
- Insurance disputes — disagreements between a property owner and their insurer over liability for damage, or how much should be paid out
- Mortgage disputes — conflicts with a lender, including the threat of repossession or charges you believe weren’t properly authorised
