Property Litigation Solicitors

Property litigation services we provide

Our property litigation solicitors in Derby, Leicester and Nottingham handle the full spectrum of property and land disputes. Whether you’re facing commercial lease conflicts, residential boundary issues, or complex development disagreements, our specialist team delivers strategic solutions.

Commercial property disputes

Commercial property disputes demand swift, commercially-aware resolution. We handle lease disputes and rent reviews, service charge disagreements, business tenancy renewals and terminations, break clause enforcement, and dilapidations claims. Our approach balances legal precision with business objectives, minimising disruption to your operations.

Landlord and tenant issues

From commercial landlord and tenant disputes to buy-to-let property conflicts, we protect your investment. Our property litigation lawyers manage possession proceedings, tenant default and enforcement, and lease forfeiture with clarity and determination. We understand that rental income matters, so we act decisively to safeguard your position.

Property development disputes

Property development projects face unique challenges. We resolve development agreement breaches, joint venture disagreements, option agreement disputes, and planning and construction conflicts. Our team combines property law expertise with commercial insight to keep your development on track.

Residential property litigation

Residential property disputes often carry significant personal impact. We handle boundary disputes, rights of way and access issues, restrictive covenant enforcement, party wall matters, and adverse possession claims. Our approach is both empathetic and effective, resolving neighbourhood conflicts with minimal stress.

Property-related commercial litigation

Property transactions sometimes go wrong. We pursue breach of contract claims, professional negligence cases against surveyors and conveyancers, property fraud and misrepresentation claims, and title disputes requiring land registration challenges. Our litigation experience ensures robust representation when property deals collapse.

Our expertise extends beyond this list. Contact us to discuss your specific property litigation challenge.

Our property litigation process

1. Initial assessment and strategy – We analyse your position, identify objectives, and provide a clear risk assessment. You’ll receive a strategic roadmap with cost projections and realistic timescales.

2. Pre-action protocol and negotiation – We pursue early resolution through expert negotiation, formal correspondence, and Alternative Dispute Resolution where appropriate. Many disputes conclude at this stage, saving significant costs.

3. Court proceedings if required – When litigation proves necessary, we prepare comprehensive evidence, manage disclosure, and present your case with precision. Our trial experience ensures confident representation.

4. Resolution and implementation – We work closely with our transactional property team to document agreements, register outcomes, and ensure swift implementation of settlements or court orders.

Throughout the process, we maintain transparent communication and cost control. You’ll always know where you stand.
