Boundary Dispute Solicitors

Disputes over property or land boundaries are relatively common, though they can easily turn into a complex and stressful challenge for all involved.

So it always pays to have a legal expert on your side to protect your rights and advise on the best course of action at each stage.

At Dirk Manstein & Associates, our boundary disputes solicitors draw on decades of experience supporting individuals, families and businesses across Greater Manchester and beyond. We know how easy it is for boundary disputes to develop into major arguments. And we know exactly how to deliver the best possible resolution for you.

The law in this area is rarely straightforward, and a keen legal eye is needed to qualify any claim and determine your best options. Our solicitors will always first seek to settle disputes out of court through mediation, alternative dispute resolution or otherwise; if and where possible.

Of course, if a fair outcome cannot be reached we are more than prepared to pursue formal litigation proceedings on your behalf. We’re here to protect your best interests and fight your corner every step of the way.

Common issues relating to boundary disputes

Boundary and land disputes can arise for a number of reasons, including:

Discrepancies with HM Land Registry and documentation held by them
Ambiguous location of boundaries
Planned construction or alterations to existing buildings
Encroaching buildings or garden features
Failure to recognise previous boundary agreements
Changes over time to natural boundaries

There’s also a tendency among homeowners to think that land boundaries fall on a straight line directly between two properties. This isn’t always the case; boundaries often shift over time as a result of agreements between previous owners or property developers.
