Why Boundary Disputes are so Difficult

     

    Why do Boundary Disputes Matter?

  • Because they destroy your quality of life
  • Because they devalue your property
  • Because they poison neighbour relations
    Why not take it all the way in Court?

  • Because you risk not getting the answer you expect – Deeds, plans, evidence and conveyances often conflict.
  • Because a solution imposed by a court will probably please neither party and will make neighbour relations worse.
  • Because costs escalate out of all proportion to the value of the property and spiral out of control
    Why are Boundary Disputes notoriously difficult?

    The “neighbours from hell” syndrome is familiar. Headline cases involve violence, injunctions, prison and even murder.

    To an outsider looking in, we see entrenched positions, aggression and intransigence beyond any limit of common sense.

    From the inside, we see a hard fought defence, inch by inch, of a key family asset against an enemy without scruple, intelligence or right.

    The legal issues, complex as they may be, become merely the battlefield in a larger personal turf war that can bring out the caveman in the most rational person.

    Lawyers and Experts are enlisted and expected to be gladiators. Each stage in the process adds more heat to the fire.
