If there was no fence and you walk across land then you would create an easement over in excess of 20years. If a gate is present and you use it for 20+ years then you would also create an easement. In both scenarios the owner of the land could reasonably expect that leaving the land as described for...

Best to ignore everything and all the trivial nonesense you describe and get on with your life. Awkward neighbours is not confined to a specific age and these appear to be difficult neighbours that are best dealt with by ignoring them. However, you not have to tolerate behaviour that may come under ...

If a fence is in situ and requires jumping over then it is unlikley that a claim that a right to pass and repass 'as of right' could be claimed.

If the trailer is on his own land, there is nothing you can do about it. Farmers use their land to park their trailers etc on. He is using the trailer to prevent you continuing to use the gateway, he could equally fence across the gateway to prevent it being used. Any period of time climbing over fe...

Reference to your deeds will give details of restrictive covenants that govern the agreement you made with developer which probably includes an agreement to seek permission from developer for any changes, additions etc to the building.

In this season of goodwill, why not let this matter drop? Many people donate their hard earned cash to the woodland trust to support woodland management, all that you need to do to be philanthropic is not pursue a legal case against them that you will probably lose anyway....win/win scenario!

A possessory title would be the title resulting from a successful AP claim, which is unlikely in this case.
You cannot just alter deeds.

Your solicitor is right it's a big fat 'no' you can't get ownership of it. I Agree with Mugwump. You are highly unlikley to be successful in claiming AP for land over which you have a right of way. The requirement for a right of way is that your rights extend to being able to pass and repass over la...

The Woodland Trust is committed to achieving its aims and these involve managing land they own and their whole purpose is woodland and land management and they have a duty to maximise their income and achieve their objectives.

You can ask the neighbour in writing to cut them back from your telephone lines. You can ask your phone line provider to deal with the matter which they may or may not take action. Before taking any action check that the trees are not protected and that you are not in an area where trees are protect...

You are thinking of moving so you need to separate what is in your interest and what is none of your business. Preventing a right of way developing over your driveway was an absolute must and you seem to have stopped this by stopping neighbours using your driveway. The fact that they are now using t...

Posting of experiences is one thing.....deliberately including photos of innocent people, car registrations, details of insolvency and financial affairs of others that add ZERO to the experience being recounted, breaches the boundary of acceptability and privacy IMO. May even Breach GDPR for Forum o...

Is there a point to releasing all these personal and confidential details relating to other people, including photos of innocent people, car registrations, addresses, email addresses etc.? - we get that you have been involved in a dispute (which BTW you foolishly chose to take on knowing that a prob...

[quote=annie08 post_id=210337 time=<a href="tel:1543841396">1543841396</a> user_id=10440] I'm a bit puzzled arborlad. Why do I need to get a fencer to look at it and why no paper trail? A fencer will bring with him not just his knowledge of boundaries but also how the fence is constructed and the b...
