Property and Leasing Disputes

Overview

Property and leasing disputes tend to arise when expectations around the use, sale, or management of a property break down.

We act for property owners, developers, landlords, and other stakeholders in disputes involving sales, leases, easements, and other property interests. These matters may concern the terms of an agreement, usage rights, payment obligations, or end of lease arrangements.

With significant experience in the property law space, we help clients assess the dispute clearly and pursue the most effective route to resolution, whether through negotiation, mediation, or formal court proceedings.

FAQs

What kinds of property and leasing disputes do you assist with?

We assist with disputes involving sale contracts, leases, rent and outgoings, defaults, make good, easements, rights of use, title-related issues, and other property interests.

Can a leasing dispute be resolved without ending the lease?

In some cases, yes. Much depends on the issue, the lease terms, and the parties’ objectives, but many disputes can be addressed through negotiation or other dispute resolution processes while preserving the relationship where possible.
