Whether you are a business or landlord having problems with tenants, or a homeowner in a disagreement with your neighbour, disputes about a property can generate complex legal arguments. Your property, or an interest that you have in a property, is one of the most valuable things that you own, so you must look after and protect that asset. At Nelsons, we can help you do this.
Recognised by The Legal 500, our team of property specialists in Derby, Leicester and Nottingham understand property and how to manage it. Our approach is highly pragmatic and flexible, and we always look for a solution, resolving disputes at an early stage, but when that fails, we will be tough and forthright in pressing your claim.
Due to the size of our team, we have a broad range of expertise to deal with the biggest and most complex property disputes. In fact, because of our specialism, we are often approached in preference to day-to-day advisors.
If you have a property dispute which is not listed above, please contact us as we may still be able to assist you.
