    OK - here we have a situation of 2 identical flats, one ground floor, one first floor both Leasehold. There is a shared driveway with parking for two cars at the rear of the property, ie, dedicated car parking spaces for both the upstairs and downstairs flats.

    Letters to the downstairs owner have been ignored - the freeholders have been informed but seem unwilling to take any action. Apart from me physically moving the shed has anyone any thoughts as to my best course of action.

    Given that your letters to the downstairs owner and that the freeholder has been informed but doesn't want to take action, I'd suggest a final letter to the downstairs owner (are they the owner or renting, in which case you need to get the landlord), advising that you are not prepared to accpet the situation, and unless it is remedied immediately, by them giving the required acces to your space without restriction, that you will be taking legal action and will bill sue for all costs involved.

    This might shift them, if not, it's time to see a solicitor.
    Don't allow this to continue, as they may gain a usage right if it's not challenged, which could affect the value fo your property.

    IMHO of course
  • how about when she's in and parked you just park on the main drive since she's blocked your space..you can't help blocking her in as she has blocked your space. surely the inconvenience of having to ask you to move your car every time she wants out will make her realise something needs to be done.
  • she is putting you out. you need to have it out with her. if she keeps skipping past you or avoiding you then like some others said i would park her in and she will have to confront you. surely she must realise that her shed is causing a problem. try solve it amicably. not always easy i know..

    good luck.
