Boundary Disputes
Boundary disputes can cover many issues from disagreements over boundary lines to agreeing who is responsible for the maintenance of shared areas. Sometimes it may not be clear who owns a particular boundary and, if changes have occurred over time, it can be difficult to resolve boundary disputes without the help of a specialist property solicitor.
At Silks Solicitors we can help resolve boundary disputes and take the stress out of any disagreements you may be having with your neighbours. We may be able to find answers simply by referring to your property deeds but if this is not possible, we can carry out further investigations to resolve issues.

Contract Disputes
