Sarcasm is a very British form of humour, not always recognised by non-native-speakers......

edit: & yes, I think specialboy's comment was sarcastic, especially if you consider the next 16 posts by confused people......

That's great. Every non native speaker has a mother tongue and it has a own way of sarcasm. As long as it doesn't hurt others it is always good for us.

You say the Land Registry isn't clear on this, which is probably because their map isn't at a scale where the tree's position relative to the boundary can be compared: i.e. that narrow piece of land between the end of the car park and the wall is about the width of the red line on the plan.

In that case, it is for the freeholders who can be contacted and the house owner to meet and decide what to do and who should pay, if removal is agreed.

Is there any kind of maintenance arrangement for the common areas around these flats? Usually, something must be in place, at the very least to cover shared facilities, for example, the gas, water and electricity services beyond the public road and outside individual ownership.

Truthman, we don't use compound when talking of a residential property. I think you are talking of a garden wall.

Divider is difficult to understand. Do you mean that the boundary of the car park has a low, metre wide wall? If so, what is there between this and the garden wall? is this tree growing through the concrete, or in the Tarmac of the car park?

Or is the divider a strip of land a metre wide with a metre high wall separating it from the car park? And the tree is growing in the strip of land?

How big is the tree?

There is no maintenance charge. Land Registry red mark finishes end of the car park not the narrow space between neighbor garden wall and the card park final end red line.

It may be possible there may be a sewage water pipes may be gong there but not sure. How to find out if there is anything like this going next to the car park and neighbor garden wall.

Yes garden wall i refer to compound wall, if it is confusing i will stop using this.

Divider is a narrow space between the end of car park and neighbor garden wall. I don't know the right word in English to refer this. If you have any word please let me know, i will use this. Strip of land with 30m length, 1m height, 1m width.

Tree is from the concrete(Divider, joints between garden wall and concrete).

Tree is about 5 m tall. started from concrete(divider), went thru garden wall to inside gardern and branches hanging over the first car park space.

I am still having a problem with "divider".

There is a garden wall, then a space? Then the concrete? It is the concrete that is 1 metre high and 1 metre wide? How wide is the space?

Some are still having a problem with "neighbor" although I guess that if this is to be an international forum we have to allow for non-native speakers.

At a guess, divider = fence but who am I to say.

For my two pence I suspect the divider is some sort of Armco type thing to stop vehicles. That being the case I would suggest the tree forms part of the freehold title to the flats and should therefore be resolved by the management company. X

Always there is a reason for this, most of the internet English is based on American English(I hope you know why) and when you type neighbour it comes as a error but if i type neighbor it doesn't complain. I feel more confident to use the right one suggested by the editor.

Divider - I explained previously.

Why some people are here put too much effort to identify someone as a non native speaker/not good at Language. I always respect/being helpful to non native speakers.
