Neighbour and boundary disputes are some of the most common causes of trespass – and without early advice, even minor disagreements can escalate into costly, long-running conflicts. It’s also not uncommon to find squatters unlawfully occupying buildings or land.

Whether you’re dealing with a one-off incident or a longstanding dispute, we’ll work to protect your rights, defuse tensions and find a lasting resolution.
With a strong reputation for client service, our solicitors support homeowners, landlords and tenants alike, wherever you’re based.
Whether it’s individuals refusing to leave, unauthorised structures crossing your boundary, or an ongoing neighbour dispute, our expert property litigation team is here to help. Get in touch by calling 03330 606 026 or filling out our contact form on this page.

What Is Trespass?
Trespass occurs when someone enters or remains on land or property without lawful authority or the owner’s consent. It can also include indirect interference – for example, where someone builds on your land or places objects there without permission.
Trespass is a civil offence and, in some cases involving damage, threats, or repeat behaviour, may lead to criminal action. Either way, the responsibility often falls to the property owner to take proactive legal steps. That’s where we come in.
Types of Trespass We Can Help With
Our team handles a wide range of trespass matters, including:
- Unlawful occupation of land or buildings (including squatter evictions)
- Neighbour disputes involving access rights or boundary infringements
- Encroachment by buildings, fencing, trees or drains
- Refusal to vacate property after lease or licence expiry
- Misuse of private roads, driveways or footpaths
If you’re unsure whether someone’s actions amount to trespass, we can assess your situation quickly and advise on your options.

How Our Property Litigation Solicitors Can Help
Every trespass case is different and the right solution depends on your circumstances. We tailor our approach to provide fast, cost-effective results, minimising stress and disruption along the way.
If the trespass arises from an ongoing neighbour issue, we can also support you with nuisance or boundary claims, seeking long-term resolution through negotiation, mediation or litigation.
Trespass or Nuisance?
Not all interference is physical. If the problem involves noise, smell, light pollution or something else affecting your enjoyment of your land, it might be classed as nuisance rather than trespass.
Our team can help determine which type of claim is most appropriate and build the best case for resolving the issue, whether that’s securing possession, stopping the interference or protecting your rights moving forward.
