Housing Law Specialists - You can trustCo-ownership Disputes

Co-ownership of a property can be the ideal way of getting on the property ladder – but if co-owners of a property fall out, without expert legal advice from a property dispute solicitor, matters can escalate quickly between the parties.

Co-ownership usually involves two parties – usually two family members, or a couple or friends – but if three or four friends decide to buy a property together or extended families have an interest in a property, co-ownership disputes can become extremely complex.

Co-ownership may also involve holiday properties, or properties which have business use for one or more of the parties involved – and in such cases, there may be more at stake for the party running a business from a property than simply realising their investment; so it is vital to contact a specialist property solicitor with expertise in co-ownership agreements as soon as you can, to protect any business interest in a property.

In cases where one party wishes to sell the property and another does not, it is also crucial to take legal advice sooner rather than later to protect your interests.

In matters relating to co-ownership of an inherited property, there may be a highly emotional aspect to any negotiations between parties over selling a property.

Housing Law Solicitors offer sound legal advice to clients on decisions where an interest in a property might have been inherited after a family bereavement, to make sure their interests are protected at what is a difficult, stressful and emotional time.
