Property and land law barristers
Advice for disputes about land, ownership and leasehold property. A disagreement may concern an ownership interest, a boundary, a right over land or the obligations in a lease. Describe the property and the question you need counsel to address.
Advice, drafting and representation
What can you enquire about?
We will look for an independent barrister with relevant experience. Acceptance depends on availability, conflict checks and whether the proposed work is suitable for Public Access.
Ownership and interests
Trusts of land, mortgages, registration and disagreements about ownership.
Leasehold and tribunal matters
Service charges, lease extensions, forfeiture and Right to Manage disputes.

Prepare your enquiry
Start with the issue and the important dates.
Have relevant title documents, plans, the lease or agreement, key correspondence and any court or tribunal order available. A short chronology helps explain what is in dispute.
For your first message, a short outline is enough. Please do not send original documents or unnecessary sensitive information.
Matching and fees
Agree the work before you instruct.
Tell us whether you need a consultation, written advice, document drafting or representation. We use that outline to seek an appropriate barrister and clarify the proposed instruction.
Ask for a quote covering preparation, the agreed work and any hearing attendance. The amount depends on complexity, document volume, urgency and counsel’s experience. Confirm VAT, any additional charges and the total payable in writing before proceeding.
The scope of work and responsibility for procedural tasks should be clear. A solicitor may still be needed. Read more about fees.

An enquiry is not legal advice and does not create a barrister–client relationship or protect a deadline. Direct Access Barristers is an introduction and administration service. Legal services are provided separately by the independent barrister you instruct.
