This division deals with disputes related to residential properties, including:

  • Rent disputes, such as disagreements over rent increases.

  • Leasehold disputes, including service charges, lease variations, and breaches.

  • Landlord and tenant issues, including eviction applications for certain tenancy types.

  • Park homes disputes, such as pitch fees or site rules.


2. Land Registration

Disputes referred from HM Land Registry fall under this division, including:

  • Boundary disputes.

  • Adverse possession claims.

  • Ownership disagreements.

  • Rectification of the Land Register or cancellation of entries.

  • Rights of way or easements issues.


3. Agricultural Land and Drainage

This division handles disputes involving rural land, including:

  • Agricultural tenancies.

  • Disputes under the Agricultural Holdings Act.

  • Land drainage disagreements.


The First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) aims to resolve property disputes efficiently, reducing legal costs and complexity while providing fair outcomes.
