For the business owner disputes about property ownership and occupation are all too common. Getting expert advice from a property litigation solicitor at the start of any dispute could save time and money.

If you are renting commercial premises disputes can come from lease renewal negotiations when you may even have to fight the case in court if you cannot get agreement on the renewal terms. Disagreements occur over who has to carry out repairs, rent cost hikes and other obligations in the lease. Very often issues only come to light at the end of a lease when you may have thought your business would be free of its obligations.

Other problems can crop up such as noise nuisance from neighbouring premises, disruption caused by construction work on neighbouring property, party wall issues, issues over rights of way, trespass by others using your property in some way without permission and of course boundary disputes.

If you are buying or selling business premises it’s not uncommon to encounter difficulties here too. The seller may have concealed something important such as a planning application by the neighbouring property or the service of a Party Wall Act notice. They may have removed fixtures and fittings included in the sale or caused damage before moving out.
