At Thomas & Thomas Solicitors, we provide tailored legal solutions and support to resolve property disputes efficiently and effectively.

Types of Property Disputes

• Boundary Disputes: Disagreements over the exact boundaries of a property can lead to significant conflicts. These disputes often involve issues related to fences, walls, or land usage, and may require detailed land surveys and legal expertise to resolve.
• Tenancy and Lease Disputes: Issues between landlords and tenants can arise over various matters, including unpaid rent, property maintenance, and lease agreements. Both parties have specific rights and obligations under the lease, and disputes can sometimes escalate to eviction proceedings or claims for damages.
• Property Inheritance Disputes: When a property is inherited, disputes can arise among family members or between beneficiaries. These disputes often involve questions about the validity of wills, the distribution of assets, or the management of the inherited property.
• Commercial Property Disputes: Businesses can encounter disputes related to commercial leases, property management, or contractual obligations. These disputes can impact business operations and require a strategic approach to protect interests and minimise disruption.
