I have asked for these threads to be merged.

Farmers round here do this all the time. We have a long field boundary with the neighbouring farmer. He couldn't be bothered controlling the brambles and blackthorn round the edges of the field so simply erected a new secure fence about ten feet inside the original. We haven't attempted to claim th...

Yes the wall is still there it is a retaining wall A stone wall is going to have a larger footprint than an ordinary fence, add in that it is retaining, it is likely to have a significantly greater footprint.

Yes there is a very old dry stone wall which would've been the original boundary. They wanted a secure boundary to their land so put up the fence, erecting the fence too near to the wall would've been dangerous so they put it where they put it That was very unwise of them, is the wall still there?

Presumably the situation at the rear is as original, this can ...

Between houses 2 and 3, there is an alleyway, over which houses 2 and 3 have a flying freehold. Ownership of the actual land within the alleyway is also split between houses 2 and 3, although houses 1 and 4 have right of way through it and across the back yards of the respective neighbours. Your ri...

First of all police don't like getting involved in property disputes. A risk they may take you for criminal but if both have damaged each others property then their not too interested and say its a civil matter. If neighbour moves a fence and breaches a covenant simply remove the fence and pass the...
