Garden Law Discussion

In my ignorance I never even considered that gravel boards could be made of a material other than concrete.

Thank you to all who responded

Good point. Here is the view from my relatives side. Obviously you can see where the roots were, and that it is shallow.

Thank you for your response.

I've attached a sketch of how the two properties were in 1927. They were separate properties owned by the same person. Hopefully you will see below how it would have been impossible for property number 1 to function as it's own house. It had no land and no kitchen/water/drainage or rear access etc....

Hello, A relative and their neighbour are having a new fence installed (concrete post/gravelboard/wooden panel mesne fence, on the centre-line, costs shared, replacing a leylandii hedge which was also mesne). The second quarter (from the houses looking down) is slightly raised, by around one foot. T...

The neighbours drains.... your water pipe....

I think you probably need a sit down with a solicitor

There has been a recent case where two properties showed the same piece of land in each title. One owner erected a lockable barrier so that only he could park on this piece of land that was shown on his title plan. The other owner claimed that he could not do this because the land was on their titl...

I would make sure you use this right of way quite often, and other neighbours too

Do you have legal cover on your own house insurance? The question to ask is what this next door house is worth with foot access, and what would it be worth with a parking space? In some parts of the country this could be six figures. Or do you offer to buy next door from them and redevelop it yourse...

Is your detached garage built on the party line or to your side of the party line?

Cut it back to a height of 6ft and not bushy on your side. You can possibly justify the height reduction due to the 6ft clause (is it in your doc, or his too?)

Is it leylandii or something native?

Heard today that this property is only about £4.50 a year, which is pleasing news.

Hello, My friend is considering a purchase of a property where the deeds indicate a "perpetual yearly rentcharge of £1275.10s.0d" I am assuming (hoping) that said amount applies to a large amount of land which Lord Whatever sold to the builder, and hasn't yet been apportioned. It may not be, of cour...

Is it perchance a public ROW? Your council will have a definitive map online (or at local library).

You either want a battle or you don't.

I fear that this is an undocumented ROW. Are they council tenants? Or housing association or similar? Your best hope is that tenants of the above usually have behaviour clauses so you can perhaps report them that way.

Sue your friends?

If one is blocking your access, then remove it yourself?
