Home Disputes Land & Boundary Disputes

Land and Boundary Dispute Solicitors, Scotland

Boundary disputes can be a complex and divisive area of law.

After all, boundaries can change from where they were originally positioned because of an agreement between neighbours.

They can also be changed by one neighbour using land on the “wrong” side of the boundary, if the other neighbour doesn’t do anything about it.

Finally, plans held by the Land Register of Scotland use thick lines to mark boundaries between properties.

Thickness of the line could relate to several metres on the ground, so the placement of the real boundary can be difficult to ascertain from plans.

This is where the help of a specialist boundary dispute lawyer can help.

Working With a Land & Boundary Dispute Solicitors

Our dispute lawyers understand that land disputes can be complex and stressful. Our team of expert land dispute solicitors is dedicated to guiding you through every step of the process. We start with an initial consultation to understand your unique situation, followed by meticulous documentation and evidence collection.

Our solicitors conduct thorough legal research and facilitate negotiation and mediation to seek amicable resolutions. If needed, we represent you in court to ensure your property rights are protected. After the dispute is resolved, we assist with the enforcement of court decisions and provide ongoing counselling to help you avoid future issues.

Land dispute solicitors will go through the following steps when working on the dispute:

Check the title deeds.
Identify relevant legislation.
Visit the property.
Gather relevant evidence, including witness statements.

Maintenance obligations can contribute to boundary disputes, especially when the exact boundaries are unclear. Our property boundary dispute lawyers strive to resolve most disputes through mediation and communication.

However, if court action is necessary, your solicitor will represent you throughout the process. Property owners have both rights and responsibilities when it comes to maintaining barriers or fences on their property, and we are here to ensure those are upheld.
