Property Related Litigation
- Party wall disputes
- Defective Premises claims
The Party Wall Act (etc) 1996 has placed a considerable extra burden on insurers who provide cover for construction work on domestic property. They are facing an increasing number of claims that require a detailed understanding of the mechanics of the Act.
The problem is exacerbated by the strong emotions that often attend these cases, with furious neighbours prepared to go to almost any lengths to secure the compensation to which they feel entitled. We approach these cases with due thoroughness and sensitivity, to encourage both sides to confine themselves to the facts and to appreciate the advantages of an early, mutually-agreeable solution.
We also regularly defend claims under the Defective Premises Act 1972 and in regard to nuisance between adjoining properties.
