A right of way dispute occurs when there is a disagreement over who can use a specific path or access road across a piece of land. These are often documented in the Title Deeds, but disputes can arise if the deeds are unclear or if a person has used the path unchallenged for more than 20 years (known as “prescriptive rights”).
Yes. If you instructed a surveyor to carry out a homebuyer’s report or a full structural survey and they failed to identify a major issue (like subsidence or dry rot) that a reasonably competent surveyor should have found, you may have a claim for professional negligence.
Misrepresentation occurs when a seller or their agent provides false information that induces you to buy the property. This could involve lying about the history of flooding, structural issues, or even “nuisance” neighbours. If proven, you may be able to claim damages or, in rare cases, rescind the contract.
A restrictive covenant is a rule written into the deeds that prevents you from doing certain things with your land—such as building an extension, running a business from home, or keeping certain animals. If you breach a covenant, a neighbour or the original developer could take legal action against you.
If a builder fails to complete work to a “reasonable standard” or uses materials that are not fit for purpose, they are in breach of contract. We can help you negotiate a repair, a price reduction, or pursue a claim for the cost of having another builder rectify the work.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the case and the willingness of both parties to negotiate. Many disputes are settled via mediation within 3–6 months. However, if a case proceeds to a full court hearing, it can take 12 months or longer.
