Neighbour disputes law in the UK deals with conflicts between individuals living in close proximity, typically involving issues like property boundaries, noise complaints, or disagreements over land use.
While there isn't a specific overarching legislation for neighbour disputes, various laws come into play, such as the Environmental Protection Act 1990 for noise complaints and the Property Boundaries (Resolution of Disputes) Bill for boundary-related matters.
A solicitor specialising in neighbour disputes can help in mediating between neighbours, facilitating communication and negotiation to reach resolutions. If informal resolution fails, solicitors can provide legal advice on potential courses of action, such as pursuing a civil claim or obtaining court orders. They also guide clients on gathering evidence and following relevant regulations applicable to the specific dispute.
