Personally, I would be checking out the plans and that my space was down as being "MY space" and then insisting on it. Tough blimmin' luck that they would have to refund the neighbour for their "purchase" and possibly have that neighbour trying to sue them for breach of contract or something. That's their problem (ie the builders).
Its not YOUR problem, because it IS your space and I would claim it personally (even though I'm not a car-owner). I would be parking an old wreck of a car on my space to make sure that I was the only one that could use it and let the neighbour and builder fight it out between themselves.
and then, from the very beginning you have established world war 3
between neighbours, and not very nice feelings in the neighbourhood- how uncomfortable, and not the wisest of ideas i would think.
then you end up with your house, your car park, and a living in a horrible environment you would end up resenting.
it maybe there is a wiser and preferable way to sort it out!0 -
As has already been pointed out, if the builder has sold it already, it is no longer theirs to sell. So it would be totally pointless and a bit dangerous to start a fight with a neighbour who had bought it in good faith.moneyistooshorttomention wrote: »That was nice of them (not!) to set you up for conflict at the outset with the neighbour:eek:

Ultimately, the builder is unable to fulfill the contract. It does not fall into my understanding of 'frustrated contract' - I think that this could be enough to rescind the contract and expect some compo too.You might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'0 -
Look on the land registry site. If it shows the parking space as part of your property then it is yours.Never Knowingly Understood.
