Property Litigation

Property-related disputes often involve complex areas of law.  Expert advisors are, therefore, necessary to provide quick and effective advice.

Members of the Vertex Dispute Resolution team have extensive experience and expertise in most areas of property-related litigation.  We are, therefore, ideally placed to meet clients’ needs both quickly and cost-effectively.

We regularly advise property developers, commercial landlords and tenants and landlords of residential property on their property disputes.

Whilst some disputes will inevitably lead to court proceedings, a substantial part of our work is advisory only.  We appreciate the importance of advising clients on their legal position as early as possible to help negotiate a resolution or otherwise achieve their objectives without the need for court proceedings.

We regularly advise clients on:
  • Business lease renewals
  • Dilapidations
  • Disputes relating to the transfer of freehold land
  • Disputes relating to development agreements
  • Commercial rent and service charge recovery
  • Forfeiture and applications for relief
  • Possession actions
  • Residential service charges and the new right to manage
  • Eviction of squatters
  • Professional negligence
  • Boundary/access disputes
  • Party wall disputes
