Fern Schofield & Gwyneth Everson round up the headlines in property law, plus tackle procedural pointers & nuisance neighbours
- Waller-Edwards v One Savings Bank Plc establishes that lenders are on inquiry of undue influence in any non-commercial transaction involving suretyship, aligning hybrid and pure suretyship cases.
- Cases such as AmTrust Specialty v Endurance refine the approach to extended disclosure under PD 57AD, while Ap Wireless II v On Tower redefines the boundary between leases and licences.
- Recent High Court and Upper Tribunal cases (Cooper v Ludgate House and Hassan v Heath) cover rights to light, restrictive covenants, and public benefit, showing courts’ pragmatic approach to property disputes and proportional relief.
This quarterly review considers several significant property law decisions from June to August 2025. The cases are grouped into three categories: high-level guidance from appellate courts, guidance, procedural developments, and disputes between neighbours.
