Frequently asked questions

How to resolve a boundary dispute with a neighbour?

The most effective way to resolve a boundary dispute is through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), such as mediation, to reach a mutually agreed solution without going to court. If this fails, our boundary disputes solicitors can help you pursue litigation to definitively establish the boundary lines. It is important to obtain as much information as possible regarding the boundary lines such as the conveyance file and historic photographs.

What is the adverse possession law in England?

Adverse possession allows a person who has occupied land belonging to someone else for a continuous and specified period (typically 10 or 12 years, depending on whether the land is registered) to apply for legal ownership of that land. They would need to have been in occupation for the above period in an open manner (as opposed to covert) without the permission of the land owner.

How to find restrictive covenants on property?

Restrictive covenants are typically found in the property’s title deeds or the HM Land Registry title register. These documents specify any conditions that restrict the use or development of the land.

Is there a time limit regarding boundary disputes?

While there is no strict statutory time limit for raising a boundary dispute, a delay in taking action may result in the other party claiming adverse possession if they have occupied the disputed land for 10 to 12 years. It is vital to seek legal guidance promptly.

How can I file a trespass claim?

To file a trespass claim, you must demonstrate that someone has unlawfully entered or remained on your property. Our solicitors can help you collect the necessary evidence, issue a formal warning, and, if required, initiate court proceedings to seek an injunction or damages.
