Latest Property Disputes Q&As

Q&As
The limitation period for our client’s claim is due to expire shortly but I am concerned that it might not be possible to engage with the other side and/or issue the claim due to potential coronavirus (COVID-19) related issues (for example, relevant individuals being unwell or the court not operating as usual). How can we ensure that our client’s claim is preserved in these circumstances?
Q&As
A solicitor failed to register a property transfer, which was only discovered 12 years later, when the claimant sought to sell the property. The claimant raised this with the defendant who promised to remedy the negligence by obtaining registration. This never happened. What happens to limitation in these circumstances? Does limitation run from the date of knowledge or can this be extended to run from when the solicitor made the promise to remedy the negligence?
Q&As
Can the parties agree a contractual cap on compensation in a Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 protected lease with a term of more than five years or will this be void under section 38(2)? Could this agreement be reached after a right has accrued, for example after service of an opposed section 25 notice or counter-notice relying on section 30(1)(f)?
Q&As
If a lease excludes section 62 of the Law of Property Act 1925, does this prevent a leaseholder from acquiring a right to light?
Q&As
