Property and land are at the heart of Terra Firma Chambers, and it is no surprise that almost all of our members have experience and expertise in this area. Issues of which members have particular experience include title and land conditions, including servitudes, boundary disputes and access rights; disputes concerning property factors and charges, landlord and tenant disputes including dilapidations, rent reviews, irritancy, and contractual interpretation; development work including planning, consents, ransom strips, and valuation; rating appeals, compulsory purchase, and environmental law.
The abolition of feudal tenure, the new range of burdens, and, above all, the uncertainty surrounding the extent to which neighbouring proprietors might have acquired rights to enforce old feudal conditions, have all created new risks and potential barriers to development where it is important to have skilled and prompt advice.
