Cripps Harries Hall

What we do

Neighbouring landowners do not always get along. One neighbour might do something on their land that interferes with the rights of the other. Examples include the erection of a high rise office block that interferes with the neighbour's right to light, the blocking up of an access, the construction of a house in breach of a covenant or the planting of Japanese knotweed or other plants that affect the structural integrity of a neighbouring property.

Developers may have issues with utility rights, covenants, ransom strips or an application for their land to be registered as a town or village green. There may be a dispute over the interpretation of an option agreement or overage provisions.

We specialise in helping you resolve property disputes - including Land Registry adjudication, which is similar to litigation. Where possible, we promote alternative means of resolving disputes, such as mediation.

Our clients

Our clients include residential property owners, landed estates, house builders, commercial developers, commercial property investors and occupiers.
