Common Property Disputes FCM Handles
At FCM, our property lawyers handle a broad range of disputes, including:
1. Boundary Disputes
Boundary disputes often involve disagreements between neighbors over the location or ownership of boundary lines. These conflicts can escalate quickly, particularly if construction or property modifications are involved. Our lawyers help resolve these disputes through negotiation, mediation, or, if necessary, litigation.
2. Ownership and Co-ownership Disputes
Co-ownership disputes can arise when two or more parties share property ownership but disagree on its use, maintenance, or sale. Whether the dispute involves family members, business partners, or other co-owners, FCM offers solutions that help each party achieve a fair outcome.
3. Commercial Leasing Disputes
Leasing disputes are common in commercial property, often involving disagreements over rental terms, maintenance obligations, or breaches of lease agreements. FCM’s property lawyers assist both landlords and tenants in resolving these conflicts, aiming to protect each party's rights and ensure agreements are honored.
4. Easement and Access Issues
Easements allow one party to use a portion of another’s property, often for access or utility purposes. Disputes can arise over easement rights, restrictions, or misuse. FCM’s property lawyers have experience in navigating easement issues to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
5. Property Development and Planning Disputes
Property development projects often encounter disputes related to planning permissions, zoning regulations, and community objections. Our team works with developers, property owners, and local councils to resolve these disputes and keep projects on track.
Our Process: Resolving Property Disputes with Precision
1. Assessment
We begin by thoroughly assessing the details of the dispute, including reviewing any property agreements, relevant documentation, and applicable laws. This allows us to provide an accurate analysis of the situation and recommend the best course of action.
2. Negotiation and Mediation
FCM encourages negotiation and mediation as the first steps in dispute resolution. By fostering open communication between parties, we strive to reach amicable agreements that save time and expense.
3. Litigation (If Necessary)
