THE DETAIL BEHIND THE DECISION
Understand the bigger picture.
Property disagreements can arise from a sale, ownership claim or occupation arrangement, and each calls for a careful review of the relevant records. We help establish the history, identify the documents and notices that matter and discuss a response suited to the issue. The aim of the first review is to understand the position and options before deciding what action to take.
Is any immediate action or deadline being proposed?
Preserve notices and explain current occupation or transaction status so advice can be based on the situation as it stands.

About our firm →FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your questions,
answered.
Can you advise before a formal claim is made?
Yes. An early review can consider the documents and possible responses. The appropriate scope depends on the issue and any immediate deadlines.
Should I change access or occupation arrangements myself?
Do not assume that a disputed position entitles you to take a particular step. Explain the situation and obtain advice on the proposed action in context.
Can you resolve the matter through negotiation?
Negotiation may be one option, depending on the facts and the other party’s position. We can discuss a proposed approach but cannot promise agreement or a particular result.
What should I prepare for the first discussion?
Keep the relevant documents, payment evidence, correspondence and notices together. Start with an outline; the team will confirm a suitable channel before requesting sensitive documents.
How are scope, fees and timing agreed?
The work depends on the documents, complexity and decisions involved. We discuss the proposed scope, fees and timing before beginning. Work outside the agreed scope is discussed separately; no fixed fee or completion date is promised here.
Does an enquiry mean the firm is acting for me?
No. The firm must assess the enquiry, check whether it can accept instructions and confirm engagement. Please do not send highly confidential information or assume a deadline has been accepted before that confirmation.
