Solicitor reccomendation for neighbor dispute

Any reccomendations ?

We used NWS once for a neighbour dispute, they sent letters to all parties concerned (with no charge actually) the letters prompted some reconciliation.

Not trying to teach any one to suck eggs but a neighbour of mine had a tussle with his neighbour a while ago over a hedge, most common dispute, he was told to get the land deeds and measure out the boundary ask other neighbours who had been in residence longer than them if they had ever seeing any boundary markers, if it's a shared drive it should say so on the deeds if conifers are planted close to the boundary line anything that hangs over the boundary you have the right to cut it back a conifer should be planter two feet away from a boundary to allow for growth, fences should have the good side facing towards your neighbours land to show they are yours, this may not be your case I’m only saying what he did was to get all the facts together,take pictures, before it got to the solicitors letters changing hands saved a bit of money in the end as they were both new to the area and the hedge was in before them and know one knows who planted it now one cuts the hedge his side and the other lets his hang down to the ground.

General rule: the smaller the area of land or value at stake, the more extreme the disputants become!

A sensible way forwards would be jointly to instruct a Chartered Surveyor to visit, inspect, and report.

Solicitors promote anger, outrage and concern knowing it will keep the money flowing. Avoid them being involved.

Do they? How, exactly?

But you are right that it's better/cheaper/more neighbourly to resolve boundary disputes amicably and direct with one another. That's true of all disputes, in fact!

..........and, the clients want to pursue the dispute to a conclusion which makes then the 'victors' but if they lose they never want to pay. I suspect owethemnowt has little direct experience of what he alleges.
