Property Ownership, Rights & Disputes
Property orders, rights and disputes can arise when co-owners, family members, or former partners disagree over what should happen to a home or investment property. At Martin Shepherd Solicitors, we provide clear, practical advice to help resolve property rights and disputes fairly and efficiently. Whether you’re facing issues following a relationship breakdown or navigating a complex ownership arrangement, our experienced solicitors are here to guide you through every step — from our offices in Potters Bar, Hertford, and North Finchley.
How We Can Help
Property disputes and questions around property rights can quickly become emotionally and financially draining — especially when they involve a shared home, inherited property or business premises. Our team works closely with you to understand your legal position and offer clear options that focus on resolution — not confrontation.
We aim to resolve matters efficiently and constructively, so you can move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
Understanding Property Orders, Rights and Disputes
Property orders often arise when people disagree over their property rights — whether that’s about ownership, entitlement, or what should happen to a property after a relationship breakdown. These disputes can be complex and emotionally charged. At Martin Shepherd Solicitors, we provide calm, focused advice to help you understand your position and move towards a fair, practical resolution.
Joint Ownership Disputes
Co-owners may disagree about selling a property or how the proceeds should be divided. We advise on your legal position and, where necessary, can support an application under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (TOLATA).
Inheritance and Family Property Disputes
When family members inherit property or have informal agreements, misunderstandings and disagreements can follow. We’ll help clarify your rights and work towards a solution that reflects what’s fair and lawful.
Landlord and Tenant Disagreements
From rent arrears and service charge disputes to property damage or lease breaches, we help both landlords and tenants understand their rights and resolve issues clearly and constructively.
Construction and Renovation Issues
Building projects can lead to disputes over cost, timing, or quality. We can review contracts, advise on your rights, and help resolve matters whether informally or through legal action when required.
Emotional and Practical Support
When you’re facing a property dispute or uncertainty around property rights, it’s not just about legal ownership — it’s often about homes, relationships, and financial security. These issues can be emotionally draining, particularly when they arise alongside a separation or family disagreement. We understand the pressure this can bring and approach every case with empathy as well as clarity.
At Martin Shepherd Solicitors, we don’t just focus on outcomes — we support you through the process. Our role is to ease the stress wherever possible, explain your options in plain language, and guide you towards a resolution that feels both fair and manageable.
Above all, we are here to put your needs first.
