So it's going to become a nightmare but long after the current owners have sold up or died so no wuckers (NSFW) mate!

To be fair, it'll probably be fine for 100 years .... and, between all the houses, won't cost much to get relaid.

I have just scored myself some massive points with someone I've been trying to work with for 3 years, after being asked for more info by a journalist friend this morning, who happened to ask purely because I'd posted something a few days ago.

Bingo!

That's handy CK! Good luck.

With it being brand new and with very low traffic .... I'll be long gone before that's a question!

In the paperwork it would require the owner of the land to try to get others to share the cost ... there's something in there. All "a bit legal" really

Where I live, we pay a small fee PA... it's about £300. That covers the gardening, management of the estate, maintenance of fences etc, plus saving into a sinking fund to cover such eventualities.

Some parking spaces are allocated, but are ultimately "owned" by the resident's management company. That way you wouldn't get some resurfaced and others not.

My understand is that such arrangements have been commonplace since the 1990s, but were relatively rare before that as the council adopted much more land than they have since.

If NPs want to join me in my dream lifestyle, you've a choice of two houses to rent in my cul-de-sac. I'll be round for cake though!

2-bed, mid terrace, £825-875/month.

A snip to live in such a highly desirable area. Only one odd neighbour!

Promise me you wouldn't think I was stalking you if I did that and I might just take you up on the offer....

Talking of stalking, how easy is it to track people down using your various skills and resources?

I know somebody's date of birth (around 1950) and which part of the country the family lived in. I need to find out whether this individual has/had any children, and if so when they were born.

I know the individual has a sibling, and where the sibling currently lives. I need to know the dates of birth of the sibling's children.

I am sort of heir-hunting, but I want to keep my cards close to my chest for now.

Try facebook and Linkedin. The amount of people who have tracked OH down on Linkedin is unbelievable. Also searching a company director site could prove fruitful, especially as that shows the date of birth.

If they are on facebook and have loose security settings you can scroll through and find birthdays. Someone has usually let on in the comments how old they are.

That's a good idea. Unfortunately, I can't track down either on Facebook or LinkedIn. I tried Companies House directors search. I tried Ancestry.co.uk but they couldn't find him, even though I know his name and year of birth.

I was thinking it might be time to call on help from an expert.
