Garden Law Discussion

Interesting. It appears that a dispute has been started.
The forum is a wealth of knowledge so do keep us updated!

Interesting! So how did it develop after you bought it?

Would it be possible to get some photos of this extension and gate that has been put in? Also do you have any photos of the ROW previous to this extension? That would prove a timeline as to when this gate was put in. And possible quelle any chances of him claiming a ROW by prescription. And do keep ...

You don't need to request deeds for evidence. You can go and buy their deeds off landresistry for £3.

A letter is easily ignored. If you want that meter of garden back then the suggestion from this forum is to take it back while being careful about handing back the fencing material. If you prefer contact with the neighbour then go and speak to them in person, but either way you will bring attention ...

Yes thanks Arborlad. Very interesting reading
I hope never to have deal with anything like that but its great to know this is the place to come if you do.

What was the issue? Where the neighbours asking you to cut it down?

It seems your neighbour has indeed been forced to the negotiating table with this initial offer of £2,000.

Yeah that view shows a pretty horrid job of the concreting...
Thanks for the updates

If I'm playing devil's advocate then then the fence is only 4ft high? So it would not appear to block light to your windows. It also does not look terrible. The curve at the top is actually quite attractive and if you saw this picture in isolation it would look perfectly normal in my opinion. Some m...

. Under great pressure (my neighbour and two sons) we settled on marking the drive so at least we had a starting point with a verbal agreement that we'd separate and take legal advice. If these are the marks I've already referred to, you MUST ensure they are obliterated. When you learn more about w...

All three experiences had the word dispute regarding where the physical boundary was in relation to the legal boundary but it matters not whether it is a dispute or not. To constantly state that in any dispute (or not) that you are legally restricted into owning only what you saw on buying land is ...
