Property litigation can be confusing and stressful for everyone involved. Thankfully, our specialist Property Litigation solicitors work with you to find the best possible outcome for your circumstances, preventing any unnecessary time or money being spent where it doesn’t need to be.
What is Property Litigation?
Property litigation is the legal process for resolving disputes related to property owners and their tenants. The umbrella terms of property litigation includes any and all legal aspects related to buying, selling, leasing and ownership of property.
Property litigation is also commonly referred to as dispute resolution, however, the two terms have different meanings in the legal system. Litigation refers specifically to resolving issues in court, whereas dispute resolution covers alternative methods to resolving issues that don’t involve the court at all.
What do Property Solicitors and Litigators do?
Property solicitors and litigators help to deal with legal matters related to property, including buying, selling, leasing and owning property.
Property solicitors predominantly handle conveyancing, which includes conducting searches, exchanging contracts and making payments such as stamp duty and land tax. They can also help with lease agreements and negotiations too.
Property litigators resolve disputes in relation to property, such as between landlords and tenants, and disputes over ownerships and leases. They represent claimants or defendants in court hearings and can also help with proceedings outside of court such as negotiation, mediation and arbitration.
