Often co-ownership disputes arise when an unmarried couple purchase a property in their joint names and later separate, or where co-investors purchase a property in joint names (for example an investment between two siblings) and one wants to realise the investment earlier than the other.
Disputes also arise where a property is purchased in one individual’s sole name, but someone else believes they are entitled to a share in the property by virtue of an agreement between them or because they contributed to its purchase.
If you find yourself in a co-ownership dispute, we can provide clear and practical advice about your options, details about the court process if proceedings become necessary, and advice about the likely outcome.
