Re: Garden wall fell down - help please
You could buy a copy of their deeds from Land Registry. In many cases they're available online and will come out of your printer. This will tell you who owns the property. If it turns out to be a housing association as you suspect then you might find them very helpful in getting the wall mended.

Re: 1m high fence on boundary with highway - but not so simp
Most councils seem to go with the 2m back being no longer adjacent to the highway. But not all. I did an application for a fence adjacent to a highway in Lichfield a few years ago, and there they were interpreting "adjacent to the highway" as being anywhere forward of the front elevation of the hous...

Re: A close shave. Hopefully.
Yes - I'm thinking you're probably right there. But I think it's fair to notify them and give them the opportunity to sort it out. They have always been considerate to us in the past. I sent a letter this week. I'll wait until a week has passed. When I say they put up a "little fence" I mean that it...

A close shave. Hopefully.
Nine and a half years ago we applied for planning permission for an extension (which was granted but we never built). At that time there were no fences between us and our neighbours. On the plans our boundary was marked with a note "fence to be erected at a later date". Roll forward to Jan 2012 and ...

Re: Buying a house
You should ask for a plan which shows the whole extent of what you're paying for. If this plan doesn't exist then one should be made. I'm often commissioned to prepare a Deed Plan for the sale of properties - this is a normal event. If the extra land has been acquired by adverse possession then that...

Re: Calculation Of Active Hedge Height
It would seem to be more cost effective to simply offer a neighbour with an offending hedge a few hundred pounds to reduce it (and keep it that way) rather than involve the council. A bit like finding a woman you hate and buying her a house (instead of getting married).

Re: FSC Eucalyptus Garden Furniture ............water ingres
We buy hardwood garden furniture and then do nothing to it. It's already lasted more than ten years. It goes a silver grey colour. This approach is the same as is used by The National Trust. It doesn't take any time or cost any money. As long as hardwood is given an opportunity to dry out after it g...

Re: Overhanging next door's property & rights of access
3 questions: 1) Can I assume this could cause problems if neighbours don't co-operate even though, in theory, they are legally obliged to? 2)Is this likely to cause difficuties for a re-sale in the future? 3) What would be the best way to attempt to get the land back before buying -ie: have the fen...

Re: claiming land from row
Wouldn't have a ROW extinguish the possibility of ever claiming Adverse Possession - in that the existence of a ROW inherently acknowledges that the land belongs to someone else and it's being used with permission? Albeit a sort of permission that can't be refused.
