Comprehensive Services for Real Estate and Property Disputes
Property disputes can arise from a wide variety of issues. At Nihang Law, we offer a full range of services to address both simple and complex real estate matters.
Boundary and Title Disputes
Conflicts often arise over unclear property lines or ownership claims. These may involve fence placement, tree lines, encroachments, or the need to confirm who holds legal title to a property. We help clients resolve these issues through land registry analysis, court applications, and collaboration with surveyors and title insurers.
Misrepresentation in Real Estate Transactions
If a buyer was misled during a transaction (e.g. about the condition of a home or existing liens), this may be grounds for legal action. We represent both buyers and sellers in disputes involving negligent or fraudulent misrepresentation to ensure your rights and expectations are protected.
Construction and Latent Defect Disputes
Defects discovered after a purchase or renovation can lead to conflict and major expenses. Be it a builder dispute, substandard workmanship, or concealed issues, we help assess liability and pursue compensation or repairs through negotiation or litigation.
Breach of Agreement of Purchase and Sale
A buyer or seller may fail to close on time, back out without justification, or challenge contract terms. We assist clients in enforcing or defending against breaches of real estate agreements, and, where necessary, seek remedies such as specific performance or damages.
Landlord-Tenant Disputes
Outside of routine Land and Tenant Board (LTB) proceedings, certain disputes, such as significant lease breaches, illegal evictions, property damage claims, or enforcement of high-value commercial lease terms, require formal legal intervention. We represent landlords and tenants in court applications that go beyond the scope of the LTB. While many residential tenancy issues are handled by the LTB, certain claims such as complex lease enforcement, serious property damage, or constitutional issues require resolution in the Superior Court of Justice.
Easements and Encroachments
Disputes over shared driveways, utility access, or unauthorized construction across lot lines can quickly become contentious. We provide legal support in enforcing, challenging, or negotiating easements and dealing with encroachments that interfere with lawful property use.
How Nihang Law Approaches Real Estate Disputes
At Nihang Law, we take a hands-on, detail-oriented approach to resolving property matters. Each dispute is unique, and we tailor our strategy to the facts, applicable laws, and your desired outcome.
We work closely with title insurers, land surveyors, real estate agents, and municipal officials to strengthen your case. When negotiation fails, we act swiftly by filing applications to enforce or cancel real estate agreements, remove fraudulent claims, or protect property through court orders.
Our team is experienced with urgent remedies such as injunctions, certificates of pending litigation (CPLs), and motions to quiet title—legal tools that help preserve your rights while disputes are ongoing. We also explore alternative resolution methods, including negotiated settlements and mediation, if they are in your best interest.
