Property Dispute Solicitors

What does a TOLATA dispute involve?

To settle the dispute, it must first be established that both parties have an interest in the disputed property. Once this is established the extent of each parties’ interest in the property must be ascertained. To evaluate this the courts will consider various factors some of which include whether there were any express declarations relating to the interest in the property and the intention of the parties.

Once the extent of the interest has been established the court will aim to resolve how this interest will be dealt with. Often cases of this nature will have already involved one of the cohabitees remaining in the property whilst the other moves out. This often leads to one party wanting the property to be sold so that they can receive their interest from the proceeds of sale.
