Commercial Property Mediation
Mediation is ideal for property disputes. It addresses your real needs and allows you and your opponent to create your own solutions in a way that invariably cannot be done in court.
Mediation is fast and cheaper than litigation
Property mediation will end the anxiety and horrendous costs of litigation. By going through the mediation channel, you can achieve the results you want quicker and more cheaply than going to court. The reputation of your business is also still intact.
Property or land disputes can be very problematic with contract values ranging from a few thousand to millions of pounds, easements, covenants, restrictive covenants, rights of way, tenancy, planning, building, construction repair, and disrepair. Any such disputes must be disclosed to any prospective purchaser – so a sale without resolving the problem is rarely an option. Disputes that are unresolved can make land unsaleable.
Mediation is not just about disputes. If you are involved in complex contractual negotiations, property mediation can help you and your negotiating partner get over any hurdles that are making it more difficult to do a deal. This can happen at any time of the business relationship from the very beginning or simply renewing a lease.
Support and guidance with every stage
Increasingly the courts are penalising those businesses which do not attempt to resolve their dispute through mediation. They expect you to try mediation before going ahead with court proceedings. This is beneficial as mediation is more amicable, cheaper and less time consuming.
