FAQ Topics

What types of disputes can Bennett Oakley help with?

We advise on a wide range of disputes, including debt recovery, property ownership and boundary disagreements, and possession proceedings involving tenants or occupiers. Whether your issue is commercial or personal, we’ll guide you through your options and help you resolve matters as swiftly as possible.

Do I always need to go to court to resolve a dispute?

Not always as in many cases, disputes can be resolved through pre-action correspondence, mediation, or negotiation, avoiding the cost and time of court proceedings. We always aim to find the most effective and practical route to resolution for you.

How quickly can I recover a personal or business debt?

The timescale can vary depending on the debtor’s response. Often, a well-drafted Letter Before Action is enough to prompt repayment. If court action is required, we will guide you through each step, from claim submission to enforcement if needed.

What should I do if I have a dispute over property boundaries or ownership?

It’s important to seek legal advice early. We can help you gather evidence, review title documents, and communicate with the other party. Whether the issue is about access, maintenance responsibilities, or boundary lines, we work to protect your property rights and reach a resolution.

How do I start possession proceedings against a tenant?

To begin possession proceedings, you must follow the correct legal process, which typically starts with serving the appropriate notice (such as a Section 8 or Section 21 notice). We will ensure every step complies with current legislation to avoid delays and increase your chance of success in court.
