Parking hog

Fire_Fox

You assume sarcasm. Everyone who does not have poor mobility should be taking at least 10,000 steps each day especially after a long drive due to reduced circulation, your neighbour is arguably doing your visitors a favour. If your guests had reduced mobility I was going to suggest you had the person responsible for maintenance denote the spot as disabled priority.

Don't understand why you are feeling annoyed enough to call your neighbour a 'hog' when you haven't politely notified them you are having guests and asked to keep the spot clear. Certainly it would be reasonable to do so if the parking space is for the sole use of your property.

Land_Registry

As clarification is being sought and the details you have appear incomplete (no notes from the leasehold title) I can only offer some general thoughts which may have some value once you have heard back from the landlord/agency.

It is rare indeed for the markings you refer to to appear on a title plan unless a) OS have included them on their detail - unlikely as it the layout, height etc of physical features which they map and not plot/parking numbers etc or b) Land Registry have added them to help explain the wording appearing on the actual registered title.

I suspect the plan is probably taken from either a Lease of the property or from the Developer's plan used when the properties/parking spaces were built - the former seems the most likely option.

If either case is true then the rest of the lease/deed from which the plan originates is crucial here as it is likely to refer to the parking spaces in some way as well as rights of access, use (shared or otherwise) etc etc.

It will be interesting to hear what response you get from the landlord/agency.

One additional question to ask though is that do you actually own the leasehold property or are you just renting it? - you refer to renting and that may have some bearing as the terms of your tenancy may come into play as well.

Do you take your 10,000 steps a day? If not i suggest you get off your high horse for once and stop lecturing people. People come here for friendly advice, not smarmy, sarcastic and useless comments that often come from people like yourself.

Sarcastic tone aside, I assume ( ) FF does as they are listed as "health professional" on their profile. (S)he is also quite active on the pets boards giving good advice regarding diets for our furry friends too (all sensible advice I may add)

I'm also a Health Care Professional, I am a nurse. I don't take 10,000 steps, get my 5 a day, eat no unhealthy food etc. I drink alcohol occasionally. Just because someone is a Health Care Professional doesn't mean they follow their own advice (there are many obese nurses in the NHS).

I'm not saying he/she doesn't give good advice, I just don't think there is any need for a lot of the snide remarks and sarcastic comments that he/she contributes. It can make newcomers feel uneasy and unwelcome to the forums.

Our lease specifically stated that we weren't to make excessive use of the visitors spots and that we should own no more than one car when we bought my flat with a parking area like yours. There is one flat where they (I believe) have 2 cars and frequently use a visitors space. I haven't bothered mentioning it to anyone as there is very rarely time when visitors haven't been able to park or at worst use a spot from a flat with no vehicle.

You really need to find out what the lease states, your landlord should have it so just get in touch with them rather than the agency who have probably never seen the document.

Well the first "assume" is just that - an assumption that she parked in the visitors spot as there was a bin in the main spot

Er, that's the second "assume". I assume (oops!) the two that Fire Fox was referring to were the first and the third.

I'd like to deal direct with the landlord but I think the agency likes to protect their own interests and I only have a mailing address for the landlord. I'll ask the question in a very specific manner and hopefully the answer will come back clearly even if via the agency. I hope!!
