Cripps Harries Hall

What we do

We give advice and help to resolve disputes over land and buildings and their use.

Neighbours

Boundary disputes. Overhanging trees. Encroachment (using part of your land as if it were their own). Noise and other unneighbourly conduct. Building extensions.

Landlords and tenants

Lease and tenancy agreements can be difficult to understand. What are your rights if a tenant causes damage, or your landlord does not provide services, for example?

If you live in a leasehold house or flat you may have rights to buy your freehold or a longer lease, or to take over management.

Restrictive covenants

You or a neighbour may be restricted in how land can be used. You may need to enforce those restrictions against a neighbour, or apply to have your own restrictions removed or modified.

Rights

Rights - such as rights of way, rights to drain, rights of light - are a frequent cause of argument. Do the rights exist? Are they being correctly used? Where a right is shared, like a shared drive, it may be obstructed, or a neighbour may not pay for maintenance.

Co-ownership and cohabitation

What rights do joint owners have, or those who live together in the same property?

Buying and selling

If something goes wrong when you are buying or selling a home you will need urgent advice as each day's delay can be expensive.
