  • Rights over land

    Property rights can include access, water, light and drainage – all are crucial to the enjoyment of land and its value. Your rights and obligations are a valuable asset that you’ll want to protect.

  • Boundary disputes

    Defining boundaries legally and on the ground can be difficult and time-consuming for a landowner. Our experts can clearly define your boundaries and protect your commercial interests.

  • Covenants

    We can help you navigate the complexities of any covenants that may be limiting your commercial freedom, or help support the defence of one that may be crucial to your business.

  • Squatters

    If a ‘squatter’ takes control of your land for long enough they can apply to become the owner. We know how to free your property from squatters in a fast, pragmatic and dignified way.
