Property Litigation Solicitor
Lawyers Who Properly Understand Property Disputes
At Paul Davis & Co, specialist property litigation solicitors, we have many years experience of dealing with property litigation in a practical and sensible manner. If they are not managed properly, many property issues can escalate into lengthy and expensive disputes. We work with clients throughout England and Wales to resolve property disputes involving:
- Fences
- Boundary disputes
- Party Wall Act disputes
- Interpretation of deeds and rights of way
Where boundary disputes are concerned, there is a great deal of misinformation regarding how the position of a boundary is determined. Boundary lines marked on a small scale map, such as a land registry scale map, are intended to be for identification only, as when they are scaled they are equivalent to a number of feet. Expert advice is usually required to determine precisely where the legal boundary actually lies, by considering the legal presumptions and all available plans, deeds and other physical and historical evidence.
