Property purchased jointly or with shared contributions often lacks clarity about ownership shares. Agreements may be vague or never formalised. When disagreements emerge later, sorting this out becomes complex. You might think ownership is straightforward, only to discover layers of informal arrangements, or conflicting evidence.
This is a complicated area, but we’ve dealt with many disputes and have the expertise to give you the best advice. Sometimes the ownership is not as straightforward as it seems. At BTMK, we help you piece together evidence and assert your rights effectively.
Sometimes disputes arise when part of the purchase price has not been paid or received. Maybe an agreed payment was missed, or conditions of sale were overlooked. When a transaction goes wrong, you need legal specialists who can help pursue or resist a claim based on strong evidence and contractual clarity.
Many properties are registered in one person’s name, even though multiple people have contributed financially or expect a share. When relationships shift, or agreements go unfulfilled, proving evidence of contribution becomes vital. In the future, agreements may not be complied with, or the evidence might be tricky to produce. We’ll help you to bring or defend such a claim, and piece together the evidence to make sure you’ve got the best chance of success.
If you suspect a dismissal of your rights through fraudulent actions such as forgery, undue influence or other dishonest tactics, you need swift action and the best legal advice. BTMK specialises in such cases.
We’ll quickly apply for injunctions and gather evidential support, moving fast to protect your property or finances, especially in urgent and complex circumstances.
Although many of our clients come to us over ownership issues, we also frequently act for landlords in recovering possession of residential property.
BTMK Solicitors also assists landlords in residential property possession matters. We regularly act on behalf of letting agencies across South Essex and private landlords. With transparent, fixed-fee arrangements, we offer timely and efficient legal support.
Property disagreements can spiral needlessly into long, costly litigation. Boundary disputes over just a few inches of land or an overhanging drain can drive litigation costs far beyond the value of the land at stake. Many parties bypass more constructive ways of settling disputes, even when those would have saved money and stress.
At BTMK we emphasise problem-solving using non-litigious ways where possible, only resorting to court action where there is no other way forward. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), mediation or expert determination can deliver faster, private, and more cost-effective resolution, while preserving professional and personal relationships.
We also ensure pre-action protocols are followed, in line with the Civil Procedure Rules, to maintain credibility and minimise adverse cost risks.
