Real Property

Practical, Expert Advocates in All Areas of Property Law and Land Disputes

Barristers at No.18 Chambers benefit from a depth of experience and expertise across a wide spectrum of property work, both advisory and advocacy before all courts, tribunals and land adjudicators, or at mediations or other forms of dispute resolution.

Property law is often complex and unclear as it responds to the challenges of modern society. At No.18 we look to balance the rigour needed to understand the law with a healthy dose of pragmatism and common-sense. We recognise that clients want practical answers to their concerns.

Members of the group accept instructions under the Licensed Access Scheme from professional bodies such as the RTPI.
