Property Rights Dispute Guidance

Summary

If youve lived in a family home for 60 years without a formal agreement, proving your right to stay can be challenging. Consider consulting a solicitor specializing in housing or property law to explore your options. You might have a claim under proprietary estoppel if you can demonstrate a promise was made to you. Additionally, organizations like Citizens Advice or Shelter can provide support and guidance.
