Amazing experience
After placing an enquiry, I received a call 20 minutes later, and then 2 hours later, I had a solicitor assigned to me. They were absolutely incredible right from the word go - amazing and very prompt with replies, answering all my questions and keeping the process moving. We finally completed today and I am so unbelievably happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lawhive again in the future if needed.
Lily
First class service
I initially made an online enquiry about a tricky conveyancing matter and received an immediate call back. They understood straight away what was needed and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. It was such a pleasure to find someone who was cheerful, professional and completely reassuring as I’d been getting quite anxious about the sale of my house. The service Lawhive has provided is absolutely first class and I cannot recommend them enough.

Great service when you need clarity and calm
Our solicitor was warm, friendly and provided crystal clear communication. A lot of conveyancers assume customers know everything about the process already, so it was really appreciated to hear each stage included in the price given.

It shouldn’t take a law degree to find the right legal service for you. With Lawhive, you can get legal help in just a couple of steps.
Answer a few questions on our site and instantly speak to a member of our team for a quote or request a callback at a time you choose.
We’re always open about our fees, so you’ll never pay more than you’re expecting.
Our lawyers are carefully selected for their expertise and experience, so you’re always in safe hands.
You might not always see eye to eye with your neighbours. For the times when you need extra support, our neighbour dispute lawyers are on hand to help. They can provide legal advice on a range of topics - just some of their specialisms include:
| Access to neighbouring land | If you need access to your neighbour’s land for repairs but are facing resistance, we can help. Our experts will check the title deeds, walk you through your rights, and explore negotiation options. And if it comes to it, we’ll assist with court applications to ensure you get the access you need. |
| Anti-social behaviour | Whether it’s noise, property damage, fly-tipping, smells and odours, vandalism or even harassment - we’ll help you address anti-social behaviour early on. Our team can support in creating lasting solutions that help. |
| Boundary disputes | A boundary dispute can come about if one person asserts ownership over a piece of land - the most common are fence, tree and hedge disputes. Your solicitor can help determine the boundary line, engage a surveyor and put together a clear legal strategy to solve it. |
| Japanese knotweed | Japanese knotweed can spread rapidly and potentially impact parts of your property. If knotweed does encroach on your property, our solicitors can help you make a claim through the right legal channels. |
| Noise complaints | For noise that crosses the line into anti-social behaviour, we're here to support. Our team can advise on how to report issues to a local authority and the next course of legal action. |
| Parking disputes | Parking issues can be a headache - our solicitors will clarify your rights, mediate if necessary, and help you address any problematic behaviour. With Lawhive, you’ll get clear, practical advice to help smooth things over. |
| Party wall disputes | Disputes over party walls often crop up during renovations. Get help understanding the Party Wall Act 1966 , your rights, how to make objections to the work, and if necessary, pursuing an injunction. |
| Breach of covenant | A breach of covenant is where one party has broken the rules on what can be done on their land. Our solicitors can help both parties - they can create a breach of restrictive covenant claim or support if someone is taking legal action against you. |
| Property maintenance and repairs | The owner of a property is always responsible for its upkeep under UK law. However, if the property starts to interfere with yours or creates damage, you might need legal help. Our team can advise on damages, disrepair and who is responsible for shared spaces. |
| Right of way disputes | Whether it's a footpath, driveway or piece of land - our team can guide on right of way disputes. They can help you gather evidence, create a claim and even apply for a right of way injunction to stop the dispute in its tracks. |
At Lawhive, we like to keep things as simple as possible. By working with a network of expert neighbour dispute solicitors across the UK, we can connect you with the right advisor for your unique situation. Here’s why Lawhive might be a better fit than a typical law firm:
The cost of neighbour dispute claims can be very unique. We'll provide you with a personalised, fixed fee quote depending on your situation and the support you might need. For example, a boundary dispute claim can be as little as £226 for an assessment and initial advice. While a full-service appeal for a planning dispute might be as little as £579.
Beyond standard legal fees, there could be additional costs as your case develops. These will vary depending on your situation, but you might need to consider things like:
We’re committed to only working with reputable, licensed neighbour dispute lawyers who deliver an exceptional service. Before partnering with a solicitor, our Legal Assessment team carefully reviews their background, including years of experience, areas of expertise, qualifications, and recent client feedback. Here’s our standard:
Neighbour disputes can often feel deeply personal. Your solicitor can guide you on your options on a case-by-case basis and what feels right for you. Typically, there are three key solutions:
Some neighbour disputes can be quickly resolved through a simple conversation. As soon as something like noise becomes an issue, it’s always best to approach your neighbour and politely make them aware of the problem, so they have an opportunity to put things right. Your solicitor will likely suggest this or letter writing (like a letter before action) as the first course of action.
If directly speaking to the neighbour doesn't work or isn't possible, your solicitor might suggest mediation. This is where a neutral third party helps to amicably resolve a dispute. A mediator hears both sides and then tries to offer a fair solution. Alternatively, if you don’t feel comfortable talking to your neighbour and they rent their property, you can try mediation with a landlord too.
If all else fails, you can consider court action. You'll need to instruct a neighbour dispute solicitor to give you through the court proceedings. Depending on your case, though you may want to apply to County Court for a Civil Injunction Order, as outlined by the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
You might be wondering if your disagreement with your neighbour is serious enough to need a solicitor’s involvement. If you've tried to talk to your neighbour about the problem but it persists, then it’s probably a good idea to find a solicitor who can help you understand what your options are. Involving a neighbour dispute lawyer doesn’t mean you'll have to go to court. Often, they can provide legal advice and tell you what your next steps are, help you access mediation, or even support you in creating a complaint letter to send to your neighbour.
Neighbour disputes can become unpleasant very quickly. What might start as a minor gripe can turn into an all-out war in the blink of an eye if it’s handled in the wrong way. We've spoken to the experts - below are some do’s and don’ts when seeking to resolve a neighbour dispute.
"Whenever you speak to your neighbour or something significant happens, write down everything, including what was said. Make notes on who was involved, what happened, the date and any other relevant information. This will help strengthen your case if legal action is needed."
"CCTV or video footage can be incredibly powerful in legal proceedings. However, make sure cameras are only pointing at your own property or public spaces. Otherwise, this can be interpreted as a breach of privacy."
"It can be a stressful time, but always keep your interactions as civil as possible. If things become heated, try to remove yourself from the situation. And if the situation escalates and your neighbour threatens you, contact your local council or police."
"Above everything, don't resort to retaliation (for example, by playing loud music at unreasonable hours). This kind of behaviour could be used against you if things progress to court."
A neighbour dispute is a disagreement between two neighbours. Common legal disputes include everything from noise levels to where your property begins and ends, access, trees and hedges, or even anti-social behaviour.
If your neighbour is breaking the law or threatening you, you might want to call the police for help. In some neighbour disputes, it’s not appropriate to call the police. Generally, you want to ensure a criminal offence has been committed.
Yes, a solicitor can help with problem neighbours. At Lawhive, our online neighbour dispute solicitors can provide full legal advice on what to do.
