Nuisance Claims (Public and Private)

Nuisance can be separated into either Public Nuisance or Private Nuisance. Public nuisance is where someone’s actions affect a number of people as a whole. Private nuisance is where those actions cause interference to an individuals use or enjoyment of their land. Nuisance can take many forms for example:

• Noise
• Smells
• Leaks
• Damage to your property
• Interfering with your rights over land, such as overgrowing boundaries or access to land

There are a number of legal remedies to nuisance neighbours. These can range from claiming damages for losses you may have suffered to obtaining a Court Injunction which compels them to cease their nuisance actions.

We will always try and negotiate the best possible outcome for you, using mediation where suitable and even going to Court if required. Please contact us for more information.
