Neighbour disputes

There are a multitude of disputes that can arise between neighbours. Common reasons include boundary disputes, rights of way, parking disputes, trees and hedges, excessive noise and the maintenance of shared facilities for example.

Whether you are making or defending such a claim, Judge & Priestley Solicitors can offer down to earth advice on neighbour disputes. Since these disputes often involve the word of one part against another, they can be difficult and costly to resolve.

Whilst we will at all times provide clear guidance on the law and the merits of each case, we appreciate that where possible, such disputes are often best resolved amicably between the parties or via a mediation process without incurring the considerable costs associated with going to court for settlement.

However successful outcomes at mediation require a full understanding of the detail and merits of the dispute and the possible outcomes if litigation follows.

If court proceedings cannot be avoided, we will ensure that you understand the legal and factual elements of your case and the risks of the litigation and the potential costs of the dispute. Where required we can refer you to experienced court experts, for example, land surveyors.
