We have been trying to establish who is responsible for these hedges since they are blocking the sunlight into our garden, pushing against our fence and if one toppled over, it would demolish our conservatory.
The solicitor has discovered that they are owned by a company that we think could be a management company that was set up by the builders of the houses at the back of our property and we need to know exactly where we stand legally.
They are certainly not maintained and for the reasons mentioned above, we really do need to get something done. It appears from the research I have done that we are not entitled to light in our garden, but surely they should be maintaining the hedges, so they do not overhang our garden and cause damage to our fence. It would be hugely expensive for us to take action and if we reduced the height could we be open to a solicitors letter and at worse, court action?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, since we would love the opportunity to enjoy our garden, but at the moment that is impossible
