People sometimes experience a property related problem wih their neighbours (locating the true position of a boundary, overcoming an obstructed right of way, what to do about a neighbour's trees). Too many of these problems can escalate unnecessarily into a boundary dispute.

Perhaps the people involved lacked the knowledge of how to deal with the situation, or they failed to engage the correct professional advice early enough, or they simply did not know where to turn to find the right professional advice.
