Disputes

Representing your interests in bringing disputes to an optimal resolution

Unfortunately, disputes are an all-too-frequent occurrence in commercial property matters. Almost invariably they arise from poor or inadequate advice in the first place or from negotiations that were undertaken without knowledge of the greater concerns.

Arguments frequently arise over excessive or unexpected service charges. Boundary or party wall disputes can consume time that would be much better spent on more important matters. Unexpected rent reviews or demands to increase rents dramatically are all sources of distraction that can be avoided if contractual obligations are clarified and set properly at the outset.

Business rates demands are a contentious area where mistakes are common. However, expert help is usually required to identify such errors and to recover monies already paid at the wrong level.

Planning disputes require expert negotiation skills, without mentioning the technical skills and knowledge required to present a forceful case.

Resolving disputes in a timely and optimal manner takes skill, especially to ensure that they do not recur. Our experienced team has both the requisite negotiation skills to resolve disputes in the least acrimonious manner whilst putting across your case firmly and forcefully. Many of our team are recognised for their expertise by being asked to provide expert witness testimony in third-party disputes that may also lead to arbitration.
