Course description
Nuisance as a legal notion means more than the everyday meaning and may often need to be considered as part of your property transactions. The Supreme Court decision in the ‘Tate Peeping Case’ is a good example.
This can also include restrictive covenants (and their breach) as well as easements (and interference with them), planning and rights to light. Then there is the additional potential nuisance in the workplace and from your clients. Awareness of appropriate enquiries and dealing effectively with your client may avoid later problems.
Presented by leading trainer Paul Tobias, this webinar will bring you up to speed with the latest developments you need to be aware of in just 1 hour.

As a conveyancer you will from time to time be asked by a client about a neighbour or some other perceived nuisance, possibly to do with the property you are dealing with for them - they will ask how they might rectify matters or seek compensation, or whether the market value of their property has been affected.
