What does real estate litigation involve?

Boundary and title disputes: Conflicts over property lines, easements, or unclear ownership records.
Landlord and tenant issues: Breach of lease terms, rent arrears, disrepair claims, and unlawful evictions.
Contractual disagreements: Alleged breaches during the purchase, sale, or development of property.
Construction and defects: Claims involving poor workmanship, project delays, or negligent building practices.
Enforcement of covenants: Disputes over restrictive covenants or obligations that affect land use and development.

How can a solicitor help with real estate litigation, and what does it cost?

A property litigation solicitor can:

Assess the merits of your case: Evaluating evidence, examining title documents, and advising on possible outcomes.
Engage in pre-action negotiations: Attempting to settle disputes through mediation or direct talks before formal proceedings.
Represent you in court: If litigation is necessary, preparing statements of case, calling witnesses, and advocating on your behalf.
Enforce judgments: Assisting with post-judgment remedies such as charging orders or bailiff action if you win your case.

Costs depend on the complexity of the dispute, the solicitor’s experience, and whether a settlement can be reached early. Hourly rates often range from £150 to £400, with fixed or staged-fee arrangements available for certain parts of the process. An initial consultation—frequently discounted or free—lets you explore your legal position, estimate expenses, and decide the best route to protect your property interests.
