Property Ownership Dispute Solicitors

Sadly, it is often the case that disputes arise over the ownership of property at the end of a personal or business relationship.

These disputes may relate to who gets to live in or use the property after the breakdown, whether one party can buy out the other or how much each party should receive if the property has to be sold.

One party may not be recorded as the legal owner but contributed money when the property was bought, has paid for improvements to the property or has contributed to paying the mortgage.

It is very common for there to be no written agreement to describe what was intended to happen and in the difficult circumstances surrounding a relationship breakdown, you may now not be able to agree.

This can be a very complicated area of law, but we will explain your options and what outcomes you may expect to achieve. At every step, we use plain English, not legal jargon.

Dispute Resolution

Unfortunately, in life, we cannot always agree on things, whether that be due to a misunderstanding, a breakdown in a relationship or a conflict in values or ideas. Lockings' dispute resolution solicitors can help you in a range of situations, varying from disagreements with neighbours to contract disputes and more.

Boundary Disputes

It is not uncommon for there to be confusion over boundaries between property and land. It may be difficult to determine what you are responsible for or what belongs to you and what your neighbour is responsible for or belongs to them. However, when handled correctly, a boundary dispute doesn’t have to mean falling out with your neighbours. Many boundary issues can be resolved amicably and fairly.

Contesting a Will or Inheritance

When someone you love and care about dies, the last thing on your mind is likely to be the financial implications. However, these will often become very important, whether this is to ensure that the wishes of the person who died are followed or to ensure that your inheritance does not end up in the wrong hands.

Contract Disputes

Most of the time a contract serves to ensure that each party understands their rights and responsibilities and helps protect everyone involved.

However, things don’t always run smoothly, and disagreements can arise. When this happens, it’s a good idea to seek legal advice to help you understand the terms of the contract and resolve whatever issues you are facing.

Professional Negligence Disputes

When you engage a professional for advice or to provide a service you will expect high standards, but sometimes, they may fail to achieve them. This could cause you problems or financial losses.
