We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.
This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Changing boundary

would have helped to say that in the original post, but yes.
Who currently owns the shared drive. I doubt it is truly 'shared' - more likely one person owns with the other having right of access. Possibly an arrangement for maintenance too.
What do the Title Plans for each property show with regards to the drive?
Have you considered the implications? Is the drive used? By who? For what?
If the boundary moves to the centre of the drive, and both properties wish to use it for their cars, then you'll each need a right of access over the other's 'half' (unless it's a very wide drive!).
Even if you both no longer use the drive for cars, consider the future implications: when you come to sell, a buyer may be put off by being unable to put his car on the drive.....0 -
Sounds like it would be the Transfer route and as G_M posts the devil will be in the detail with regards the current state of play and how such a change may impact.

I haven't mentioned a drive, are you getting my thread mixed up with another?
Thanks for all the advice, everybody.0 -
