Neighbour Disputes

Neighbour disputes can become very contentious, very quickly. This can create a hostile living environment, making it all the more important that you settle the matter sooner, rather than later.

Our solicitors offer tactful, expert legal advice that gets to the heart of the problem. We can recommend the best way forward in your case, working to restore peace as cost-effectively as possible.

Common neighbour disputes

Neighbour disputes happen for all sorts of reasons, including:

• Anti-social behaviour arising from late-night parties, drink, drugs, loud music or noxious smells
• Harassment
• Encroaching leylandii or Japanese knot weed
• Subsidence
• Tree root damage
• Boundary issues
• Party Wall Act disputes

If your dispute isn’t listed above, then don’t worry – we deal with all types of neighbour dispute and can likely help you further.

Speak to our solicitors

It can be hard to know what to do, in the face of a neighbour dispute. Often, it’s difficult to negotiate or reason directly with your neighbour, especially if you feel vulnerable or threatened.

Whatever the circumstances, let our solicitors help you. We can examine the dispute and offer pragmatic legal advice. This will help you understand who (if anyone) is in the wrong, and what actions you can take to remedy the situation.

If you like, we can liaise with your neighbour over the dispute. Sometimes, a letter from a solicitor is all it takes to bring the matter to a timely conclusion. If this approach is ineffective, we will explore the other options available, which might include mediation and litigation through the courts. We can represent you throughout, standing by your side until the matter is resolved.
