Boundary Dispute Solicitors

Boundary disputes can cause a huge amount of stress for property and landowners alike, and resolving these disputes usually requires the assistance of a boundary dispute solicitor. 

Our solicitors at AFG Law work with you to find the best possible outcome and achieve a resolution that avoids any unnecessary amounts of stress or costs. 

 

What is a land or boundary dispute?

 

A land or boundary dispute is a type of disagreement when conflict arises over land ownership, possession, usage or boundaries. 

A boundary dispute will usually occur between two or more landowners or neighbours, and it can range from domestic properties to agricultural land and even commercial property too.

Our boundary dispute resolution services

 

At AFG Law, we can help to protect your interests and provide legal clarity where boundaries lie and, if necessary, take up any issues with the neighbour or adjoining landowner, helping you to resolve the dispute through open communication. 

However, if methods outside of court fail, then we can lodge an application to the Land Registry or the Courts as appropriate.

Our specialist dispute resolution solicitors have years of experience with boundary disputes and have successfully negotiated many favourable outcomes for our clients with issues including:

 

  • Boundary positioning
  • Trespassing issues
  • Encroachment by trees
  • Encroachment by neighbouring trees
  • Changes agreed between neighbours but not recorded by deed and/or on the Land Registry titles
  • The lack of accurate scale measurement from Land Registry and Ordnance Survey plans
  • The Land Registry General Boundaries Rule

 

How are boundary disputes resolved?

There are a few different ways you can resolve a boundary dispute and which is best suited to you and your situation really depends on how well you and the other party are co-operating with one another.

The different ways to resolve a boundary dispute include:

 

  • Mediation
  • Professional surveys
  • Boundary agreement 
  • Deed of rectification 

 

No matter what kind of method of resolution you are aiming to use, we always recommend you consult a dispute resolution solicitor. Boundary disputes can be extremely complex, which is why it is wise to have an experienced solicitor to help you.

How can a solicitor help with a boundary dispute?

A solicitor can assist you in resolving a boundary dispute by helping you to gather the necessary information and legal documentation needed to support your case. 

Where an amicable agreement cannot be reached, a solicitor will also be able to help you. Our team can negotiate with the other party’s solicitor to resolve the issue. However, if you cannot come to an agreement, our solicitor will support you through the court process.

Boundary lines can be vague and are not clearly defined. If this is the case, a solicitor can also help you to determine the boundary by commissioning a surveyor to survey the land. They will also check aerial photos, title deeds and historical documents. This side of the law can be very confusing, which is why you will need a solicitor to understand and break down the information correctly.
