Swift, cost-effective and positive solutions for all types of commercial property disputes.
Our team of experts advise on all aspects of property disputes, from residential and commercial landlord and tenant disputes to land and general property disputes.
We understand that dealing with a property dispute can be daunting and stressful and we will work with you to understand you and your business, to find a swift, cost effective and positive solution.
We act for a wide range of clients from the retail and food sector to property investors, developers and house builders.
Court proceedings may not be the best way to achieve your goals, and we will always pursue other avenues, such as mediation and arbitration, where that is best for you. We will, however, pursue court action with all vigour whenever appropriate and necessary.

“Battens were recommended by a professional friend and we are very happy that they did. We are more than satisfied with the way Battens, Ceri and Rachael, in particular, took ownership of our land dispute, which they have now recently completed, on our behalf. It couldn’t have gone any better,
From the start, they gave us the confidence that they would represent us as well as, or better than, anyone else could.
They provided good and timely information, throughout, and advice, based on this information and they were always pleasant to work with.
Based on this experience and given similar circumstances, we would be happy to work with them again.”
“When involved in any litigation process, it becomes extremely stressful, often impacting and sometimes taking over normal day-to-day living. At all times, we felt Battens were working on our behalf but it was also comforting to know that they were there, supporting us through what was a very difficult time. If we had questions, queries or simply needed reassurance, we were able to make contact, quickly and easily. Of course, a successful outcome is the goal and in our situation, the 'icing on the cake'. We are pleased to say that this was achieved. We have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Battens of Yeovil.”
