Boundary Disputes
Boundary disputes can happen when two parties both believe they have the right to a piece of land. The disagreement can often start when one party puts up a fence or wall on land which another person thought belonged to them.
The best way to avoid a boundary dispute happening in the first place is to try and firmly establish the boundaries of the land before you change anything. Even work which you do not think will change anything could lead to trouble if you are not cautious.
Boundary disputes can be quite problematic and can escalate quickly if positive action isn’t taken early on. At Blackstone Solicitors, we have the experience and know-how to make the process as stress-free and time-efficient as possible. We understand such issues can appear complex, which is why our commercial property solicitors are here to guide you through the process.

How we can help
Our team is well versed in dealing with all the various aspects of commercial conveyancing and dispute resolution, and we are here to help in any way we can. For instance, our expertise can help you get the best outcome if:
- You want to enter into a commercial mortgage
- You wish to transfer interests in a commercial property
- You want to draw up a lease agreement
- You are looking to evict a tenant
- Boundary disputes
The process
In many cases, the boundaries of property are represented as lines on a title plan at the land registry and are often only vaguely defined, so existing documentation may not give you exact information. The best way to deal with this situation is to reach an agreement with your neighbours on where the boundary should be. Finding a sensible compromise with your neighbour is often a better approach than getting embroiled in a potentially costly court battle over what may amount to less than a few feet of land.
Obtaining help from a solicitor or chartered surveyor is an option at this point if you are concerned about the outcome.
