    You should also read the lease in detail. It may not mention fences, but may require Freeholder consent before you to install any structure, or have some similar clause.......

    I actually obtained freeholder consent by way of putting it forward at the AGM about 3 months ago. Nobody objected at the time. It was shortly after this that my neighbour raised their concerns on actual ownership of the land.

    Then if it's in the minutes you should be fine (so far as the freeholders are concerned).
  • Your title plan looks absolutely unarguable to me. So - I agree with all the comments about checking all the wording carefully to be totally clear.

    At that point - send your neighbour a letter (copy to her solicitor) with all evidence that your land is your land and telling her to cease harassing you (suitably phrased).

    There are indeed neighbours around that will try their darndest to make out that land that is owned by someone else is communal (if they would like it to be) or owned by them and it is astonishing just how bad the solicitors employed by them sometimes are (ie making absolutely basic mistakes).

    Good luck.
