Commitment to excellent client service
Whatever issue you are facing, we believe that litigation should always be viewed as a last resort. Seeking to achieve an amicable solution through initial negotiation and mediation is always preferable to lengthy legal proceedings.
If further court action is required, our neighbour dispute solicitors will obtain the required evidence to support your case and scope out the proportionality of legal action to ensure that the costs do not outweigh an achievable outcome. We pride ourselves on our ability to resolve disputes on time and within budget.
Slater Heelis’ approach to client service is what sets us apart from other law firms. Our dispute resolution solicitors draw on decades of practical experience in dealing with neighbour and boundary disputes, so you can rest assured that your case will be dealt with by an expert member of the team, not a paralegal.
Our experienced boundary dispute solicitors are here to offer vital support at what is often a very distressing time for our clients, and proactive advice that is only ever a telephone call away.

I’m having an issue with my neighbour, what should I do?
Issues between neighbours are widespread. And in such instances, it’s not unusual for emotions to run high, especially when accusations are being thrown around. However, it’s best to avoid a full-blown, public argument, so keep in mind that you’ll likely have to live alongside your neighbour for the foreseeable future and approaching any issue needs to be done with care.
It’s always better to resolve these issues out of court, so a good first step is to try speaking to your neighbour and outlining your issue. Keep a record of your conversations, especially if it’s an ongoing problem that you speak to them about on multiple occasions – like a noise complaint.
If you aren’t able to resolve the issue informally, you may need to seek legal advice. An experienced lawyer can discuss the case with you and advise on your next steps.
Before proceeding to litigation, you may wish to consider mediation. In mediation, an independent third party helps both parties reach an agreement over the dispute. This keeps issues out of the courts and saves time and money for those involved.

Where are our boundaries?
It may not always be immediately clear where the boundary lines are for your property. Even the title deed for the property may not locate the exact lines. This, of course, gives rise to many disagreements over land ownership.
A boundary dispute solicitor can help. A solicitor will gather documents and evidence to settle any disputes over boundaries.
