What are property disputes?

A property dispute is any dispute over a property. Usually involving two or more people (or companies) who disagree over their rights and responsibilities regarding the property. For example: Carlo lives next door to Natasha and Hóng t?o. Natasha and Hóng t?o get a dog. They want to cut down the flowering hedge between their properties and replace it with wooden fencing to keep the dog secure in the garden. Carlo believes the hedge is on his side of the boundary and thinks they should put the fence up on their side of the hedge, leaving it standing in his garden. They disagree, as this would give them and their new dog less garden space. Alys and Osian rent their house. About a month ago part of the roof collapsed, which has been leaking into their daughter's bedroom and the family bathroom ever since. The landlord sent someone around who patched the worst of it with tarp but work to repair the roof still has not begun. Alys and Osian are concerned about their safety and think the landlord should put them in alternative accommodation until the work is complete. Olive bought a house 3 years ago and has recently noticed some subsidence on the gable end. It appears that the extension, built in the 1970's, had no proper foundations. The conveyancing solicitor believes that this was negligence on behalf of the surveyor. However, the surveyor says that the documents provided by the previous owner fraudulently showed adequate foundations. The previous owner was given the documents by the seller before her, who is now deceased.

Can a disputed property be sold?

You can sell property during most property disputes with neighbours. However, you must disclose this information in a TA6 form, where you give the buyer detailed information about the property. It is often unlikely that you will be able to sell a property without a TA6 and if you omit information you are likely to find yourself in a dispute with the new owners when they eventually find out the truth. you may be liable for any loss they suffer as a result of an undisclosed dispute. Here are some tips for selling a disputed property: Get advice from an experienced solicitor Be honest in your TA6 Double check your title deeds Resolve the dispute if possible Consider a cash buying service for a quick sale Make your home look its best

What evidence do I need for the dispute?

Property disputes rely on the evidence you can provide. Here are just some of things to help: Written evidence confirming what your original intention was for the property when you purchased or moved in such as a deed of trust or an email/letter between the parties Bank statements showing your contributions toward the purchase deposit, mortgage repayments, repairs and renovations and household expenses. Written agreements between you (email, letter, text, Whatsapp) Be concise and organised ensuring all your evidence is labelled with a date and what it is. For example, a text on the 15th June 2022 should be saved down as "20220615 Text from James confirming my share of the mortgage repayments". Solicitors charge by the hour so it is best to handle the labelling admin yourself to keep the costs down.

How long does it take to settle property dispute?

Property disputes vary based on a number of factors such as: What were your intentions for the property upon purchase and if these have changed along the way? Do you have children? Are you attempting to force a sale or defend a sale? The time will vary depending also on if you need to take your dispute to court. What is certain is that it is a process that takes months not weeks.

How do I stop him from selling and not telling me?

Our solicitor can apply a restriction on the legal title that will stop the legal owner from selling the property without the restriction being satisfied. The legal owner won't be able to sell the property whilst there is a restriction on the title. Speak to your solicitor about this to confirm the cost for this application to the Land Registry.
