The Property Litigation Association (PLA) and The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) have teamed up to launch a new mediation service aimed at helping neighbours resolve property boundary disputes without resorting to court action. 

Lexis®Library update: The service will draw on a panel of 16 experienced mediators, lawyers and surveyors, with a fixed fee agreed at the outset. The new service is supported by the Civil Justice Council, and is in line with government and judiciary ambitions to find ways of resolving disputes other than through litigation.

Those interested in using the service can apply here.
