Neighbour Dispute Resolution

Neighbour Dispute Resolution

Mediation can provide helpful solutions when disputes occur between neighbours. Disputes can occur over a wide range of issues including noise, boundaries and anti-social behaviour.

These disputes can cause emotional stress and anxiety on you, your family and on the relationships with your neighbours.

Mediation can help you to find a solution to your dispute and help you to stay on good terms with your neighbours. It avoids the strain of calling in the authorities or taking the matter to court. It can save you time and money and can provide a solution that satisfies all concerned.

When both parties agree to mediation, there is a high chance of reaching a solution.

Mediation can take place at a neutral venue, giving everyone a fair chance to air their views and complaints without interruption. Alternatively, neighbourly mediations can be conducted in a private session at the participant's properties. All participants can have friends and relatives in attendance for support and guidance.

Those involved are encouraged to think up their own solutions. You remain in control rather than having the council, housing authority or court make a decision for you.

Mediation provides a better value alternative to court proceedings and can help you find a win/win solution.
