Neighbour Disputes

One area where it pays to get expert advice about your legal rights is in connection with neighbour problems.

Neighbour disputes, if left to get out of hand, can result in your being harassed and feeling persecuted in your own home. In some cases, it may lead to a loss of value in your property or lead to significant compensation having to be paid to a neighbour as a result of an infringement of their legal rights. Neighbour disputes can also turn out to be very expensive in legal costs for the parties in dispute and it is vital to speak to a solicitor as soon as you are aware that there may be a problem.

Harland & Co will give you expert advice in relation to the following areas which most often give rise to concerns with neighbours, including:-

  • Boundaries
  • Party Walls
  • Trespassers and Squatters
  • Rights of Way
  • Rights to Light
  • Nuisance
  • Trees and Hedges
  • Anti-social Behaviour
  • Covenants
  • Harassment

Quite often it will be cost effective to get advice at an early stage, perhaps with a warning letter being sent to the offending party. It is essential that a warning letter is sent before any injunction is applied for.

If you are still suffering nuisance behaviour, even after the solicitor's letter, we can advise you as to the cost of taking legal action to abate the nuisance and discuss with you how to fund these costs.

Please contact Kevin Grant by e-mail or by telephone on 01904 655 555 to discuss.
