Land disputes involve any conflict over land ownership, usage rights or boundaries. These disputes can occur between neighbours, property developers, private individuals, or even governmental entities. Common causes of land disputes include unclear property lines, disagreements over access rights, and unauthorised use of land. These disputes can have significant financial and emotional implications, particularly if they escalate into litigation.
In the UK, land disputes are governed by various laws and regulations, including the Land Registration Act 2002, the Law of Property Act 1925, and case law that has developed through the courts. These laws cover different aspects of land ownership and usage, from determining boundary lines to setting out the legal framework for adverse possession. While some land disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, others may require legal action in court.
