The duration of a property dispute depends on the complexity of the issue and the chosen method of resolution. Negotiation and mediation can often resolve disputes more quickly than litigation, which can take several months or even years to conclude.
Preventing property disputes often involves proactive measures such as clear communication, well-drafted contracts, and comprehensive property surveys. Engaging an experienced property solicitor to guide you through property transactions and agreements can also help to minimize the risk of future disputes.
The costs of resolving property disputes can vary widely depending on the dispute’s nature and the resolution method. Negotiation, mediation, and arbitration are generally less expensive than litigation. At Gorvins, we provide cost-effective advice and assistance tailored to your unique situation.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to various methods of resolving disputes without resorting to litigation. Common ADR methods include negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. ADR can be more efficient, cost-effective, and less adversarial than court proceedings, making it a popular option for resolving property disputes.
