Property Mediation Services

What is Mediation?

There are many varieties of property-related disputes. They may arise from contracts (tenancies, for example) not being adhered to or from conflicting interests such as boundary disputes. Often, the parties involved want or need to maintain the relationship over the long term in spite of these issues. In such cases, mediation can provide the opportunity for settling the dispute without damaging the long-term relationship.

Types of property disputes that can be resolved through Mediation include:

• Property-related disputes arising from Family Law or Succession (inheritance)
• Boundary and Land Ownership Disputes
• Building & Site Safety Disputes
• Multi-Unit Development & Management Company Disputes
• Private Residential Tenancy Disputes
• Landlord & Tenant (Commercial) Disputes 
• Building Construction & Sub Contractor Disputes

How does Mediation Work?

Mediation is the process of bringing two or more parties together to find and agree on a solution to their dispute. This process is led by a Mediator who is an independent third party that facilitates a mutually acceptable outcome.

The process of mediation is fast, confidential, and far more cost-effective than many alternative options to concluding disputes.

What can Michael Lavelle Estate Agents do to help?

Mediation is a voluntary, totally confidential process between all parties. This is one of the main reasons why the mediation process is so successful, as it promotes open and clear discussion between the parties, without the fear of public disclosure or publicity. It can be quickly arranged to expedite closure. This is important where parties want to continue to have a good working relationship, by avoiding the more confrontational court setting.

Joanne Lavelle is an accredited mediator with a property background. She deals with resolving all types of property disputes, and her goal is always to use the Mediation process to create mutually useful and constructive outcomes.
