Boundary Dispute Solicitor In London
Very often, people do not appreciate the problems and complications that can originate from a boundary dispute. Neighbours can end up fighting with each other and sleepless nights can transpire. What may seem like a minor problem to begin with can escalate to such as extent that enormous amounts of time and money can be expended.
Like many things in this world, the way forward of course is to prevent the problem before it gets out of hand. Boundaries are not a fixed thing unless your Land Registry details are confirmed and even then arguments can occur. Often property owners are under the misapprehension that the boundaries shown on Land Registry plans are precise, but very often they are vague and leave a lot of detail open to interpretation. If you are unlucky enough or adventurous enough to attempt to buy land that has not been registered at all, then the original title deeds will have to be referred to.
This is when previous owners may need to give evidence with the aim being to get all parties to the transaction to agree. Worst case scenario is that resolution cannot be achieved and this is when cases can end up in court with the final verdict on the matter being given by the Judge.
Our aim is to try and prevent boundary disputes reaching this stage and we will always attempt to resolve by communicating with all parties and arranging a physical meeting on site to actually view and finalise the fence line. We always advise that any building of fences or walls should not take place until an official verdict has been reached. People have been known to landscape areas of land, cultivate it and plant to then find their efforts have been in vain if ownership does not lie with them.
By working on your dispute efficiently and professionally, we are able to prevent months of disagreement turning into years whilst at the same time preventing your costs from running away with themselves. By us achieving a resolution as fast as possible, your worries and stress are eliminated. Our specialist team will talk you through all the necessary permutations of your case, carefully examining the background and any documentation that may already be in place.
By talking to us at the right time, the complexity of the case can be examined at source and aggravations and quandaries later on can be avoided.
