Case study analysis

Unlocking a stalled commercial development

A multi-million euro mixed-use commercial development in Dublin was severely delayed due to historic easement disputes and overlapping planning conditions from the mid-1990s.

"Trustworthy Estate Legal resolved three generations of title discrepancies within six weeks, enabling our funding to release right on schedule."

By executing a targeted title rectification strategy and negotiating direct covenants with neighboring stakeholders, we cleared the path for construction to resume without litigation.

Expert advice

Frequently requested legal insights

Commercial transactions involve complex leasehold structures, planning permissions, environmental regulations, and tax implications that standard residential conveyancing simply does not address. Our firm specializes specifically in these high-stakes commercial legal frameworks.
While straightforward acquisitions can close within six to eight weeks, complex transactions involving multi-layered titles or planning reviews may take three to six months. We prioritize thorough due diligence to prevent post-acquisition disputes.
We resolve boundary discrepancies through systematic historical title analysis, site surveys, and direct negotiations with neighboring landowners to establish legally binding deed variations without resorting to expensive court proceedings.
