Land and Property Mediation
Property law is a area that disputes regularly arise, issues include:
- Ownership
- Leases
- Squatters rights
- Rights of Way
- Easements (usually a right to run a cable or a pipe through another property)
- Boundary issues, these can become very contentious between neighbours especially where property is very expensive. Old maps sometimes do not reflect what is on the ground. Sometimes a boundary expert or Land Surveyor will be required to attempt to determine where the boundary lies.
