COMMERCIAL DISPUTES & LITIGATION
Support & advice when you need it most
Commercial Disputes & Litigation Assistance
Whether you are renting, buying or own a property, commercial disputes and commercial litigation do arise from time to time. For example, tenants may not pay their rent, go bankrupt or fail to make repairs, or landlords may fail to meet the obligations under their lease.
However, whilst these matters are often easy to resolve, there is a danger that commercial disputes between landlords, tenants, managing agents or neighbours can escalate quickly, often leading to potentially expensive and time-consuming litigation.
Commercial Dispute Advice
If you’re facing a dispute over commercial property, as RICS Valuers we can help. Not only are they called on to appear in Courts or at Tribunals as Expert Witnesses, but they can help steer you to the best outcome whilst avoiding more formal measures.
In the past we have helped clients with:
- Valuations for probate
- Valuations for capital gains tax
- Service charges
- Maintenance advice
- Rent reviews and lease renewals
Commercial Dispute Legal Services
In cases where litigation in unavoidable or already underway, we are able to provide expert advice and support to help you reach a favourable legal outcome. We are RICS Registered Valuers and have appeared in Court or at Tribunal as Expert Witnesses or Joint Experts.
Additionally, if you feel the value of the case does not merit either a commercial property solicitor or barrister, but you need expert advice and support, we may be able to act for you in a dual role as both advocate and expert. This is a very cost effective option for getting the best outcome from smaller disputes.
We have helped clients resolve contentious issues around:
- Service charges
- Valuations
- Boundaries
- Dilapidations
- Lease interpretations
- Negligence
If you would like to discuss a dispute with us please feel free to contact us directly. We’re always happy to give you an initial assessment of the situation without a need to formally instruct us to act on your behalf.

TESTIMONIALS
What clients say about our work
“IMA Industries were recommended Michael Selwyn by a mutual contact. Our development has had some issues to sought out, highlighted and pursued by Selwyn. His experience and reputation gives a professional team the urgency and the oversight required in order for the Principal to commercially gain from transactions. He is a valued member of the team who sits on our side of the table – we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to our peers.”
Ishil Mehta, IMA Industries
“Your clarity and detail in relation to the survey report provided for me was top notch and exactly in line with the kind of high class work I have come to expect from you. It gave me peace of mind in knowing the propery I was purchasing was not in any way a poor decision, and the elements you highlighted in relation to making sure the property was up to scratch meant I could move in knowing that although there was some work to be carried out there was nothing untoward.”
Paul Richardson, St James's Place Wealth Management
“I have worked with Selwyn on numerous matters over many years. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and easy to deal with. He can always be relied upon to provide a practical and commercial solution to any problem. Always my first port of call when a knotty problem arises.”
Alison Baldwin, Downs Solicitors LLP
