Specialist Property Dispute & Litigation Solicitors in Reading, Henley-on-Thames & Wokingham

Land or property are generally an integral part of any business or organisation and, handled badly, property related issues or disputes can involve significant time and expense and potentially damage your operations, professional relationships and even your reputation.

But it does not have to be that way. Specialist property dispute solicitors in our Dispute Resolution team can work proactively with you to identify and address risk within your business or organisation and help to reduce the likelihood of a dispute arising in the future.

If a property related dispute unfortunately does occur, we will work closely with you to understand the issue, how you would like it handled and to achieve the best possible outcome.

Who We Work With

We work with businesses and organisations of all shapes and sizes, including corporations and UK subsidiaries, large private companies including family and owner-managed businesses, property investors, landlords and tenants, landowners and developers, universities and schools, town and parish councils and charities and not for profit organisations. We are also experienced in advising private individuals faced with a property dispute.

We can advise on any property related issues that you encounter, whether it relates to property ownership, the landlord and tenant relationship, or third-party rights. Ranging from breaches, break clauses, extensions or renewals of commercial leases through to rent arrears, dilapidations claims, restrictive covenants, boundary disputes and adverse possession claims. You can also rely on our specialist expertise in other areas, ranging from residential and commercial property to planning and environmental law, if needed.

As members of the Law Firm Network, a global network of 50 law firms, we can advise international clients, including UK subsidiaries of multinational companies, as well refer clients based in the UK to like-minded lawyers overseas.

Our Expertise and Experience

Our Dispute Resolution team is recommended in the UK’s leading guides to law firms, Chambers UK and The Legal 500.

Our relationships with other leading professional services firms across the Thames Valley and our experience in working closely with other advisers who may be representing you can also help to ensure a smoother process and minimise the likelihood and impact of any unforeseen issues or costly delays.

We believe that it is important to address any dispute early on, before matters escalate further and perhaps even prior to things becoming contentious.

Whilst we are highly experienced in pursuing and defending property disputes through litigation, whether in the High Court or County Court or in the property tribunals, we recognise the demands that unresolved disputes can place on you and your business or organisation and will work to help you avoid the need for litigation and court proceedings where possible.

We can support you in issuing “pre-action” correspondence, submitting applications through the Land Registry, negotiating with other involved parties and advise on alternative dispute resolution methods including mediation. Our expert solicitors will always discuss the available options with you and provide clear and up to date information of the anticipated timescales and costs, to help carefully manage both aspects.

Who we work with

“The property dispute resolution department at Blandy & Blandy is ‘very well established’, dealing with all types of commercial and residential landlord and tenant disputes.”

The Legal 500

“Blandy & Blandy handles all types of commercial and residential contested landlord and tenant issues and property ownership and management matters, including complex and high-value cases.”

The Legal 500

“Blandy & Blandy trooped together with our rather shell-shocked family through a long and protracted litigation battle that ended up in the High Court. Due entirely to their collective expertise, impeccable knowledge and strategic thinking, together with an excellent choice of Barrister, we secured an outcome that we were exceedingly pleased with, and one that also generally well covered in the media. There is no doubt in our mind that this could not have been achieved with any other team in place. We are, and will remain, extremely grateful.”

Director, Smokeys, Maidenhead

“Blandy’s has provided us with legal advice and an excellent service for several decades. They make the effort to really understand our business and provide us with the right legal support, when required.”

I would not hesitate to recommend Blandy & Blandy to anyone wishing to secure the very best legal advice.”

Chief Executive, The Hartley Trust

“Blandy & Blandy has supported the Glass & Glazing Federation (GGF) with a wide range of legal services, covering all aspects of commercial life, for many years. It’s the simple things that matter most to clients like the GGF, such as prompt responses to communications and sound advice that can be relied upon, which all equate to how you assess value for money as a client. These core building blocks have allowed the GGF to build key relationships with our partners at Blandy & Blandy and take their strategic legal advice as we continue to grow and develop all aspects of the GGF Group.”
