Commercial Property Disputes

A commercial property dispute is a dispute which is centred around a commercial property. For example, disputes can arise out of the terms of a commercial lease, the lease renewal process, or the existence of rent arrears.

In addition, a commercial property dispute can involve the development of a commercial piece of land, including breach of restrictive covenant, trespass and boundary disputes, or professional negligence claims against professionals.

Like other types of dispute, commercial property disputes can be resolved in a number of ways. In first instance it may be prudent to establish a means of alternative dispute resolution to seek to settle a dispute before proceeding to the court or tribunal.

Common examples of commercial property disputes include rent and service charge arrears, breaches of lease, dilapidations claims, and lease renewals.

A commercial property settlement is an agreement between the parties to a dispute that settles (i.e. resolves) the dispute on agreeable terms. This could involve the payment of a sum of money in exchange for an early surrender.
