• A neighbour parking on a shared driveway or courtyard
• Vehicles blocking access to your property
• Gates, bollards or obstacles restricting access
• Disputes over where the right of way runs
• Arguments about who can park and where
In many cases, the position depends on:• what the title documents or deeds say
• how the access has been used historically
• whether the obstruction is considered “reasonable”
• whether access is being substantially interfered withEven where rights exist, disputes often arise from how those rights are interpreted in practice.
Resolving these disputes often starts with reviewing documents and understanding the layout of the space.Some matters can be resolved informally. Others require advice from a property litigation solicitor or surveyor, particularly if access is being obstructed or the situation is escalating.
If you are dealing with a situation like this, you can outline what has happened and we can help direct you to the appropriate next step.

As a rough guide:
• Early advice or clarification: £200 – £1,000+
• Surveyor or specialist input: £500 – £2,500+
• Solicitor involvement: £1,000 – £5,000+
• Court action or injunctions: £10,000+Some disputes resolve quickly.
Others escalate when positions become fixed.“Most disputes we see could have been resolved earlier at significantly lower cost.”
The biggest factors are:
• How clear the legal position is
• Whether both sides are willing to resolve
• How long the issue has been ongoing
• Whether formal action becomes necessaryWhat often increases cost isn’t the problem itself, it’s the delay in dealing with it.
Beyond the obvious fees, these situations tend to carry a weight that builds over time.It can sit in the background day to day, affecting how you use your property, how you feel about it, and how easy it is to make decisions around it.Left unresolved, it often becomes more than just a practical issue.
A short conversation with the right expert can:
• Give you a clear view of where you stand
• Help you avoid unnecessary escalation
• Outline realistic options and likely costs
• Put you back in control of the situationIn many cases, this alone is enough to change the direction of the dispute.
We’re not here to sell legal services.We simply connect you with experienced UK professionals who can assess your situation properly.No pressure.
No obligation.
Just a starting point.
If you’re unsure what this might cost in your case, that’s exactly where to start.
