It’s not hard to see why property should so frequently give rise to disputes. Landlords and tenants, neighbours, mortgagors and mortgagees, owners and insurers or owners and public or statutory bodies – they’re all naturally inclined to different points of view. The fact that it’s often a person’s home in question also means that there’s an emotional aspect to such cases, which is why mediation is particularly well suited to resolving such disputes early and effectively.
