Service overview
What this service covers.
Neighbours who want to explore settlement without immediately escalating to litigation.
Mediation allows neighbours to control the outcome and address practical matters beyond a narrow legal judgment. Survey evidence helps the parties understand the physical and documentary issues before negotiating a settlement.
When this service may be relevant
- Both sides want to avoid disproportionate litigation.
- The disagreement combines technical, legal and relationship issues.
- A mediator or legal team needs clear plans and an agreed evidence schedule.
Who this is for
Neighbours who want to explore settlement without immediately escalating to litigation.
How the instruction is approached
A clear route, matched to the facts.
The Act’s requirements and any boundary procedure depend on the actual documents, ownership and site relationships. These are the usual working stages.
- 01
Narrow the issues
Separate agreed facts from disputed interpretations and identify what a settlement must resolve.
- 02
Prepare neutral material
Produce plans, measurements and evidence summaries that can be understood by both sides and the mediator.
- 03
Record the outcome
Support the technical description and plan for any settlement, subject to the parties’ legal advice.
Questions about Boundary Mediation Support
Useful context before you instruct.
General information only. Advice on a particular property requires the relevant documents and facts.
01Is mediation binding?
The discussion is voluntary, but a settlement can be documented in a binding agreement with legal advice. The mediator does not impose the outcome.
02Why involve a surveyor?
A surveyor can clarify the physical features, measurements and documentary evidence so negotiation is based on a shared understanding of the technical issues.
