London
Property litigation solicitors in London
Disputes over London property are shaped by dense leasehold ownership, high values and tight development timetables. We act for landlords, freeholders, leaseholders, owners and property professionals across the capital.
The London property market produces a particular set of disputes. Blocks of flats generate service charge and consultation challenges. Mixed-use buildings produce arguments about apportionment and access. Converted houses produce boundary and party structure disputes where the paperwork was never brought up to date. Commercial units produce forfeiture, dilapidations and arrears claims where the landlord's next step determines whether the right to forfeit survives.
These matters are heard in the county courts sitting across Greater London, in the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) and, for higher-value claims, in the High Court. We prepare matters on the basis that they may be decided at a hearing, which is usually what persuades the other side to settle on terms worth accepting.
We work remotely with London clients as a matter of course, by video, telephone and email, and attend hearings in person where the listing requires it.
