How our neighbour dispute solicitors can help
You might not always see eye to eye with your neighbours. For the times when you need extra support, our neighbour dispute lawyers are on hand to help. They can provide legal advice on a range of topics - just some of their specialisms include:
Access to neighbouring land | If you need access to your neighbour’s land for repairs but are facing resistance, we can help. Our experts will check the title deeds, walk you through your rights, and explore negotiation options. And if it comes to it, we’ll assist with court applications to ensure you get the access you need. |
Anti-social behaviour | Whether it’s noise, property damage, fly-tipping, smells and odours, vandalism or even harassment - we’ll help you address anti-social behaviour early on. Our team can support in creating lasting solutions that help. |
Boundary disputes | A boundary dispute can come about if one person asserts ownership over a piece of land - the most common are fence, tree and hedge disputes. Your solicitor can help determine the boundary line, engage a surveyor and put together a clear legal strategy to solve it. |
Japanese knotweed | Japanese knotweed can spread rapidly and potentially impact parts of your property. If knotweed does encroach on your property, our solicitors can help you make a claim through the right legal channels. |
Noise complaints | For noise that crosses the line into anti-social behaviour, we're here to support. Our team can advise on how to report issues to a local authority and the next course of legal action. |
Parking disputes | Parking issues can be a headache - our solicitors will clarify your rights, mediate if necessary, and help you address any problematic behaviour. With Lawhive, you’ll get clear, practical advice to help smooth things over. |
Party wall disputes | Disputes over party walls often crop up during renovations. Get help understanding the Party Wall Act 1966, your rights, how to make objections to the work, and if necessary, pursuing an injunction. |
Breach of covenant | A breach of covenant is where one party has broken the rules on what can be done on their land. Our solicitors can help both parties - they can create a breach of restrictive covenant claim or support if someone is taking legal action against you. |
Property maintenance and repairs | The owner of a property is always responsible for its upkeep under UK law. However, if the property starts to interfere with yours or creates damage, you might need legal help. Our team can advise on damages, disrepair and who is responsible for shared spaces. |
Right of way disputes | Whether it's a footpath, driveway or piece of land - our team can guide on right of way disputes. They can help you gather evidence, create a claim and even apply for a right of way injunction to stop the dispute in its tracks. |

Additional costs
Beyond standard legal fees, there could be additional costs as your case develops. These will vary depending on your situation, but you might need to consider things like:

Surveyor or expert fees: Surveyors can provide expert opinions on things like boundary lines, plus they can gather evidence and create official court reports.
Landscaping fees: For disputes around trees or hedges, you may need landscapers to inspect the property or even trim up to the property boundary.
Court fees: The cost of court fees will vary depending on your case, though they typically start at £308. This can be included in your initial quote.
Counsel fees for barristers: Barristers can help represent you in court alongside your solicitor. Their fee might include things like an opening statement, interim hearing and trial brief.
