In property litigation, parties seek legal resolution for property-related disputes, such as boundary issues, lease agreements, break notices or eviction matters. Solicitors provide expert advice, negotiate settlements, or represent clients in court to secure the most favourable outcome. The process may involve arbitration, mediation, or court proceedings.

Property litigation covers a broad range of issues, including but not limited to:

• Boundary Disputes: Concerns over the demarcation lines between properties.

• Lease Disputes: Issues arising from commercial or residential leases, such as rent arrears, service charge disputes, dilapidations or breaches of covenant.

• Possession and Eviction Proceedings: Legal actions to regain possession of a property from tenants or squatters.

• Easements and Rights of Way: Issues concerning the legal right to access or use another person's land for a specific purpose.

• Land Registration: Conflicts arising from the recording of property ownership and interests.

• Adverse possession claims both making and defending applications;

• Dilapidation Claims: Concerns related to the condition of a property at the end of a lease term. Enfranchisement: Legal processes related to extending a lease or purchasing the freehold of a property.

• Restrictive Covenants: Disputes concerning conditions imposed on the use of land. Trespass: Unauthorised entry or occupation of land or property.

• Landlord and Tenant Disputes: General conflicts between landlords and tenants that may not fall under specific categories like eviction or lease disputes.

• Property Fraud: Legal issues arising from fraudulent activities related to property transactions

• Conveyancing Disputes: Issues arising from the sale or purchase of property, such as boundary demarcation

• First Registrations: arising from lost deeds or a relative passing away.

Each of these areas involves complex legislation and often requires specialised legal advice to navigate effectively.

A solicitor in litigation provides expert legal advice, represents clients in negotiations or court, and prepares necessary documents. They aim to resolve disputes favourably, whether through mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings, while ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
