Garden Law Discussion

Checked bird's eye view Land Registry and the toilers don't appear to be on there. Just the houses.

I'm not sure how we'd find out about the water pipe.

If they belong to someone, then they must have applied to own them after they were used as an outside toilet for this house.
So I was wondering how you would go about that, if you can.

It was just incase someone said maybe they belong to someone else. I don't think they do. They aren't in anyone's garden and aren't even shown on the deeds. Only the wall they are attached to is on there.

Still ongoing. We got a surveyor who confirmed our thoughts. The boundary is where the work has always been done to on the building and coincides with the line of concrete on the floor separating the two properties. So neighbour has built the wall on our land. Waiting to hear from the next door neig...

We have lived in a house for over 17 years. There are two old toilet outbuildings away from the house, next to a public footpath. One of which we have been told belonged to our house prior to us buying it. It was the old owners outdoor toilet . The other was the outside toilet for our neighbour. We ...

No evidence has been provided to contradict this. No it hasn't. We've replied to the solicitor stating all of this again but up until now he has ignored the concrete on the floor and has gone back to the middle of the chimney. Within the building the solicitor is correct, outside it is where the co...

The chimneys are like this


Our ------------ [ ----O ] --------neighbours
House---------[ O-----]

The Os are the chimney breasts

The deeds also seem to show our house is bigger but I don't know how accurate they are or if they can be relied on.

Currently the concrete marks the boundary, in that area.

I understand that Mr Sheen but it's rather annoying when our neighbour has let us do the work on "his part of the roof" if it is his and now has decided it's his because he wants to take a few feet of our garden. Do you have any advice about the positioning of the boundary when the internal wall div...

He's not called Santa by any chance?

Erm ... No

No, it's shown on the deeds as a straight line but the houses are not divided by a straight line internally.

A solicitor who has been provided by our legal cover is stating it looks like the boundary may be in the middle of the chimney.

This is still ongoing. Is the boundary of a semidetached always the middle of the shared chimney? This is what we are being led to believe now. It's very frustrating because our neighbour has never done any renovations up to the middle of the chimney. he has always gone to the edge of his side and w...

Thanks Collaborate.

Thanks Collaborate. If you have the time, would you be able to explain what this part of the site means ... "Where counter-notices have been served and works carried out at the request and expense of the Adjoining Owner (person/s adjacent to the works), surveyors fees in conjunction with the require...
