Introduction
Disagreements arise all the time in modern life. It could be a dispute over a contract or a will, perhaps with a tenant, landlord, accountant or architect. They can be difficult to resolve because you may not be fully aware of your rights. This is where Morrisons Solicitors can help.
We are experienced in dealing with most types of disputes. Some of the most common disagreements involve:
- Contracts
- Trusts
- Wills
- Property – with a tenant or landlord
- Neighbours
- Receiving bad professional advice
Our skilled litigators will talk you through your options and find a solution acceptable to both sides. If the case does need to go to court, we will help you prepare and strongly pursue your claim.
Morrisons will offer initial advice about whether you have a valid claim and then provide you with the details of our costs. Only once you know this, do you need to decide whether to instruct us to take on your case.
Contracts
Morrisons can assist clients in upholding their rights and enforcing the obligations of those purporting to provide a service or product.
Enfranchisement
Most people who have purchased a flat or house and occupied the property for two years will have the right to claim a new, longer lease from their landlord. The price of the new lease, called the “premium”, is calculated according to a statutory formula.
We offer tenants expert legal advice to guide you through the minefield of procedural and technical difficulties under a series of fixed fees. It gives you complete control of the cost of obtaining an extension of your lease.
Morrisons also provide robust and commercial advice to landlords, ensuring that you obtain the best premium possible, swiftly and at reasonable cost.
Party walls
If you have a disagreement with a neighbour, we are experts in disputes under the Party Wall Act 1996. It is a highly specialist area of law, and one which can give rise to very costly litigation. Our solicitors are recognised in resolving such disputes as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
Professional negligence
If you have received advice or a service that you are unhappy with and which has resulted in you suffering loss or damage, Morrisons can help find a suitable solution.
Property
Acting for landlords, tenants and homeowners, Morrisons can assist in all matters concerning property disagreements.
