Neighbour Disputes | Expert Legal Support from Taunton Solicitors
Common Causes of Neighbour Disputes
Neighbour disputes can arise over a wide range of issues. These disagreements are most commonly about boundaries, where they should be and whether they have been moved. Other frequent sources of dispute include shared access and obstruction of rights of way.
Boundary Disputes: Disagreements over property lines and boundary locations.
Shared Access and Rights of Way: Issues arising from shared driveways, paths, or obstructed access.
Shared Services: Problems with maintenance and replacement of shared facilities, such as septic tanks.
Party Walls Act 1996: Legal complexities and compliance requirements for property owners.
Often, these disputes escalate because neighbours do not seek early expert advice from solicitors or surveyors, sometimes leading to costly litigation that outweighs the value of the land or property in question.
