Property disputes are an all too common experience for homeowners. While best avoided, they are sometimes inevitable.
What if your neighbour's property is damaged and its appearance negatively affects your property's value? Can you force them to carry out repairs on their property?
What if you recently bought a property where the previous owner's longstanding dispute with horrible neighbours had not been declared? Can you give the property back?
