Property Disputes 

Practical solutions for property conflicts without the courtroom

Property is often one of the most valuable and emotionally significant assets people own. When disagreements arise, they can quickly become stressful, costly, and damaging to relationships with family, neighbours, or co-owners.

Mediation provides a structured, confidential, and cost-effective way to resolve property disputes. As an accredited mediator under the AMDRAS standards, I help parties work through complex issues with respect and fairness, focusing on outcomes that avoid lengthy and expensive court proceedings.

Co-Ownership Disagreements

Jointly owning property can become difficult when co-owners disagree about its use, management, or whether it should be sold. Mediation allows all parties to express their concerns and explore options, often leading to creative solutions that protect both financial and personal interests.

Strata Disputes

Strata living often leads to disputes between owners, tenants, and owners' corporations. Issues may include renovations, by-law breaches, noise complaints, or maintenance responsibilities. Mediation provides a forum for open communication, helping to restore harmony within the community while ensuring compliance with legal obligations.

Boundary, Easement & Access Disputes

Disagreements about land boundaries, shared driveways, easements, or access rights can escalate quickly, sometimes involving surveyors or legal proceedings. Mediation gives parties the chance to clarify misunderstandings, negotiate practical arrangements, and reach an agreement without the expense and delay of litigation.

Neighbourhood Property Issues

Conflicts with neighbours, such as fencing, trees, noise, or encroachments, can affect daily life and long-term enjoyment of your home. Mediation provides an opportunity to resolve these matters constructively, often preserving neighbourly relationships in the process.
