At Eric Robinson Solicitors, our team has many years’ experience helping individuals, families and homeowners resolve their residential property issues. We offer expert legal advice across a wide range of property disputes, and we pride ourselves on our client service.

Common residential property disputes 

In our experience, there are a variety of different residential property disputes that can come to light, however, we have highlighted the most common below. Every dispute has the potential to become protracted and expensive, so involving a trained Solicitor at an early stage could help bring yours to an end quickly and amicably.

• You may disagree with your neighbour about the use of a common access way.
• There may be questions concerning the position of a boundary between properties.
• Neighbours may disagree regarding who is entitled to park where.
• Joint owners of a property may dispute interest or an individual’s share.
• You may let a property to tenants who are in rent arrears and need assistance regarding the recovery of the outstanding monies or possession proceedings.
• You may wish to question the level of service charges raised by landlords.
• You may have queries regarding lease renewals and the relevant law.

Our expert team of lawyers have knowledge and expertise in relation to cases such as these and many other types. Whatever your property related issues, call us today with details of your case and we will be able to assist and advise you on your best approach.

You may have tried to resolve the problem informally, but that hasn’t worked. Equally, you may just want to better understand your legal position before approaching the other party. Whatever the circumstances of your problem, our specialist lawyers will be on hand to offer solutions ranging from alternative dispute resolution to the issue of court proceedings.

What can our disputes team advise on?

Our property dispute solicitors can offer advice and services on:

• Rights of way

• Access to neighbouring land

Alternative dispute resolution 

Alternative dispute resolution is another area that we specialise in, where we help our clients reach amicable solutions with any other parties, without the need to go to court. We offer negotiation, mediation, arbitration and conciliation services that, if effective, can save you a great deal of money and time.

Property dispute costs

As a starting point we offer a no-obligation, fixed-fee one-hour interview for £150 plus VAT (£180) where we can examine any title deeds, lease, plans or documents and advise you on your position. 

At the end of that meeting you will have a better understanding of where you stand and what your options are. If you decide to instruct us beyond this initial meeting then we will discuss with you the various funding options that may be available and we will help you find the one to suit you. 

Eric Robinson has six offices located throughout Hampshire and Surrey and our lawyers will happily meet you at any location.
