Property Mediation

What is Mediation in Property
Disputes?

Disputes amongst parties can be incredibly stressful and can also take a significant amount of time and cost in reaching a resolution. Mediation ensures that a neutral and impartial person assists the respective parties in resolving the dispute at hand, enabling the parties to reach a mutually agreed settlement.

Mediation is a voluntary form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and is the process of resolving a dispute between two, or more people.

How does Property Mediation work?

The mediation process involves the respective parties to the dispute attending mediation. The mediation process tends to be over a full day and provides the respective parties with a cost-effective option to resolve the dispute at hand, or at the very least significantly narrow the matters in dispute.

Mediation starts with each respective party making an opening statement in the presence of both the other party and the mediator.

Once the parties have made their opening statements, they then discuss the dispute at hand directly with the mediator through private sessions. The mediator will then visit each respective party throughout the day and put forward offers and content from the parties, thereby assisting in a mutually agreed resolution.
