What we do
Welcome to Property Law Advice. Advice on property law (also known as “land law”) is our specialism; specifically, the law of England and Wales. As specialists we can deliver professional advice on property law swiftly and economically, to a wide range of people and bodies.
The law can be challenging. Problems may seem obscure and intractable. But there’s much we can do to help, cutting through legal jargon, providing clear, practical analysis of issues, and finding the best way forward.
How are we different?
Our approach is friendly, constructive and professional. We listen.
Legal questions arise because people are concerned about a possible — or actual — dispute, or because they simply need clarity about their legal position. They want to obtain answers quickly and efficiently. We understand, and we can help you find your way through thickets of case-law and statute.
We also understand the need to be realistic — to consider legal issues in their context and to take into account all the relevant factors. What amounts are at stake? What are the risks? What is practicable? What is fair? For more about us, please see our Who are we? page.
Our charges
Whenever possible we quote a fixed price for written advice, not an hourly rate, to cover all the time involved. We aim for what is fair and reasonable. Much will depend upon whether there is a long history of problems, and whether there is a lot of paperwork to study. But typical examples would be:
* A simple neighbour dispute, over a relatively brief period, involving (say) boundaries or parking: £125
* A longer-term problem involving commercial property, planning and development, and its impact on neighbours: £250 – £500.
* A larger development project involving rights of way, planning and environmental concerns or impact on neighbours: £1,000 upwards.
The price quoted will normally include any follow-up questions: these are, quite understandably, common. Payment will be due if you’re satisfied with the advice and when any follow-up queries have been dealt with.
For more information, please see our Charges page.

Please start with our Get in touch page. We can offer a quick initial appraisal, in confidence and without any commitment on your part.
