Neighbours blocking shared Access-way - no dropped Kerb

If you don't know where to find the landlord, why not go to Land Registry and spend a few quid, and you can find out the lanlord's address to send the letter to? Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback.


By "summarise" I assume you mean condense to read as briefer that its current form?


Also - wouldn't the photos be useful as in the Landlords may not be aware of what is happening?

Plus IF this goes to Court (IF the Landlord and Tenant don't respond in an apt way)...we could then attest that we provided photographic proof (and still nothing was done)?

Just to make it a bit more formal that's all.

The thing is, they already know the problem they are causing, by explaining the bits that both sides already know you are taking away from the whole purpose of the letter which is to take the situation from a squabble to legal action.

Can you not get one or two of those big boulders that you sometimes see over entrances to areas to keep travellers out? Just placed on your side so a car can't get on but still allowing pedestrian access?

Our Solicitor said we aren't allowed to cause partial obstruction ourselves - as that would be the same as what our Neighbours were doing when they parked cars in the Access-way.


And an update that I have (but thought to leave for a bit...to see if things remained) - since sending the two copies of the letter to the tenants (one marked "Pass to your Landlord"...which we don't think was done!) - they are no longer parking any vehicles in the Access-way - nor leaving their rubbish sacks in it.


I guess the written Letter threatening an injunction worked.


Thanks to all who helped!

All of this was an entertaining read - are you still victorious makara?


All I will say Makara, you USE CAPITAL LETTERS AND WORDING INCORRECTLY. I get you are trying to emphasise, but it makes it look like either primary school English or tabloid style news article writing, neither of which are ideal. You should STOP it.

sO fAr So GoOd (see what I did there? -;) )

-they did try it once with a guest's car recently, but I shoved a reminder letter through their letterbox, telling them if they didn't move it I would immediately contact their landlord


- the guest car got moved 15 minutes later - they haven't tried it since...touch wood they won't!

From the first time OP said the LL didn't want involved, I've been reading to see if anyone pointed out the landlord effectively doesn't have a choice in whether they're involved or not.


Tbh, my immediate response on being told "he doesn't want involved" would have probably been "tough, tell him he can be involved informally discussing it as adults to find a solution or formally via the courts as the landowner, but that there is no option of not getting involved since he is getting all the benefit of having tenants (ie rent) and therefore has the obligations/responsibilities that accompany it - including having to get involved if his tenants are causing problems".
