Property Ownership Disputes

Dealing with disputes over property

Property ownership disputes can arise between joint owners of a property, or between the owner and another party with a financial interest in the property. Our team are experienced in dealing with property disputes and can provide advice on making and defending property claims.

Property ownership disputes can arise in a variety of different circumstances, including:

• Breakdown of a relationship between a cohabiting couple
• Loans and gifts from family or friends towards the purchase of a property
• Refusal of a joint owner to cooperate in the sale of a property
• The financial interest of a party who is not the legal owner of a property

Resolving a property dispute

The majority of property ownership disputes can be resolved by negotiation and mediation between the parties. Disputes often involve conflict between family members and therefore it is usually in everyone’s interests to resolve the dispute sensitively and without resorting to litigation. However, it may be necessary for the court to become involved should the alternative avenues not produce a satisfactory outcome. Your solicitor will be able to explain your options, depending on the details of your case.
