Boundary Dispute Solicitors for your Business
Our boundary dispute solicitors can help your business traverse the minefield of issues and conflicts concerning property boundaries. If your business is experiencing a boundary dispute, it is essential to obtain legal advice from solicitors specialising in boundary disputes as soon as possible, whatever the nature of the land.
What is a Boundary Dispute?
Boundary disputes typically occur when two parties are in a disagreement over who owns a particular area of land that joins the two business’ properties together. It’s common for a boundary dispute to arise when a new business moves into one of the associated properties, or begins building on the land next to an existing business’ property.
Boundary disputes are also caused as a result of:
- A boundary wall being built in the wrong place – boundary wall disputes will arise when the wall is built over one of the business’ land, rather than in the middle of both properties
- When two parties can’t agree on who owns or is responsible for a boundary feature
- A boundary changing over time and one of the parties refuses to accept the new positioning
- Parties relying on the details within Land Registry plans, which cannot be the determining factor of a boundary
When not resolved, these types of disputes can lead to more costly implications for one or both of the parties involved in the original boundary dispute. The value of the commercial property can be affected, as well as the opportunity to adapt or develop the business’ property.
