Garden fence in wrong place for years
Comments

that was just my fingers, not thinking what they where typing.:eek:0

Some more info:
30 feet is only part of the boundary' that fence line is about 55 feet long.
There is a 5 foot fence panel set at 90 degrees coming into my garden and there fence then runs the 30 feet about perallel with the line on the plan. I have an out building set back from 'my' boundary and the neighbour has fenced up to it. This has given them enough width/ space to park a car beside there house.
I have lost land that I could use for vehicles.
My house is many years older than the neighbours, and the people next door who's house was built at the same time as mine has there old paper title from the 1930s and so I can place the start point of the old fence line. I have 25 feet of fence in the correct position from this point, it is the same type and age as next doors fence.
So what now, How do I get my land back if they wont play ball.
I just want whats mine and not pay a fortune getting it back!0 -
I have just realised my neighbours fence is 5x30feet into my land according to my title plan (which has not changed in many years)
I think the fence was put up by the previous owner of the neighbouring property (perhaps 25 to 30 years ago). It was there when I moved in to my house.I have lost land that I could use for vehicles.
You haven't lost land. You bought what you saw with the fence where it is.
As the fence has been in place for so long, that is now the boundary. You can measure what you like on paper but I don't think you've got a hope of getting the boundary moved.0 -

I understand that ' moving defined boundarys' is something the Land Reg are involved in changing and this has not been done.
Did you hear the one about the blind man who bought a house, He bought the title!0 -
Is it possible that this land which you believe belongs to your house was sold to the developer who built your neighbour's home, so that there was off road parking.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0
