What Are Boundary Disputes?

The position of a boundary can vary from time to time. Boundary disputes arise when there is a disagreement or conflict between neighbouring property owners regarding the legal boundaries of their respective land. These disputes can manifest in various forms, such as disagreements over the location of fences, walls, or hedges, or disputes about the rights of way. Some of the common causes include unclear property deeds, inaccurate surveys, or changes made to the property without proper consultation.

Boundary disputes can be both emotionally and financially taxing for property owners. In essence, a boundary dispute can create tension between neighbours and lead to legal complexities if they're not resolved. It requires a careful examination of legal documents, property surveys, and an understanding of property laws to determine accurate boundaries and find a satisfactory resolution for all parties involved. Resolving boundary disputes often involves legal assistance and negotiation, and in some cases, may proceed to litigation.

How Can You Prevent Boundary Disputes?

In most cases, preventing boundary disputes is often more cost-effective and less stressful than resolving them legally. This involves proactive measures and clear communication to avoid misunderstandings between neighbouring property owners. Here are some strategies to help prevent boundary disputes:

Clarify Boundaries During Purchase: When buying a property, ensure that the boundaries are clearly defined in the title deeds and have been agreed upon by the previous owners.
Boundary Surveys: Consider getting a boundary survey before purchasing a property. This can help identify any potential issues before they become disputes.
Open Communication: Maintain open and respectful communication with your neighbours. Discuss any concerns or potential boundary disputes promptly.
Boundary Agreements: If you and your neighbour agree on the boundaries and responsibilities of shared ideas, consider creating a legally binding boundary agreement.
Regular Maintenance: Keep shared boundaries well-maintained to avoid disputes over issues like overhanging branches or encroachments.

We are only too well aware of how boundary disputes between neighbours can be difficult to resolve and lead to untold and oftentimes avoidable stress. Therefore, resolving boundary disputes before they become a wider problem.

In safe hands

I can’t thank David Smith enough for the way in which he handled my divorce. His friendly and approachable manner was much appreciated, throughout what was inevitably a difficult and emotional time. He also fought my corner with tenacity, leading to a fabulous financial settlement. At a time of such uncertainty, it is reassuring to know that you are in safe hands……I would not hesitate to recommend David to anyone going through the same experience.

Great, clear advice delivered in a personable manner

David’s advice was critical in resolving a complex family matter. Without his involvement, the case would have stalled. He helped me to understand the legalities of the situation and provided direction in what I found to be a highly confusing situation. Great, clear advice delivered in a personable manner.

Nothing was too much for him

David really made me at ease and helped me through the whole process. Nothing was too much for him and he always made time for me.

Huge thank you to David

Huge thank you to David for making a horrible stage of my life, going through a hostile divorce a whole lot more bearable. Don’t know how I would have got through it without you.

Bought my first home which completed today, and I could not be happier!My Solicitor, Katie Dwyer, was absolutely fantastic and helped me each step of the way. Her guidance, professionalism and support was second to none. She even went out of her way to assist by attending a meeting in the evening to ensure that documents were completed when needed. I honestly could not have had a better Solicitor. If you want a fantastic Solicitor, contact Katie at Eddowes Perry & Osbourne. She was recommended to me. I, like a lot of others, have come to realise that Katie is not only a truly talented Solicitor, but also an incredible person.

We had the pleasure of having Maria as our conveyancing solicitor, for my purchase and sales that concluded couple of weeks ago. Right from the start of the engagement, I found Maria very professional, transparent and courteous. She ticked all the boxes that one could think of to make the rather complex conveyancing process smooth and easier. Given the post covid market conditions having a right solicitors was very important and I can only be thankful to Maria and the EPO team for overcoming the challenges on our sales and our purchase to ensure timely completion. At all times she kept us well informed about the progress and provided us with a first class service in terms of the guidance and ensuring appropriate due diligence. Can’t thank Maria and her team enough for their hard work. Maria is trustworthy and a safe pair of hands for any conveyancing needs.

I found it easy to contact this company and their communication is exceptionally good. An appointment for my mother to have a home visit was quickly arranged for a date and time that suited her. The solicitor took the trouble to comply with the Covid restrictions at my mother’s accommodation and the visit was not at all rushed. The solicitor put my mother at ease and was particularly courteous and helpful. Having taken my mother’s instructions the solicitor quickly produced the draft document and arranged for a follow up visit for the final document to be signed. This involved some more work than was originally quoted for but the invoice was for the quoted amount. The solicitor was thoroughly professional and efficient but, importantly for my mother, friendly and approachable. I wish that I had used this company for other legal work that I have needed recently as I am sure that I would have had a much better experience. I would definitely use this company for any future work and wholeheartedly recommend them to others. Thanks very much for such an excellent and considerate job.
