I recommend you don't try to DIY (though you could).

The OP has a mortgage, so not really practicable (in theory they can represent themselves but will still need to pay the lender's solicitor, which will amount to much the same as a solicitor acting for the OP too). Anyway, I would normally expect the neighbour to pay.

Ah yes, missed that.

Mortgage AND it apears to be leasehold which is a further complication.....

So are you planning to sub-lease the land to the neighbour? If by sell that land to them, then yes.

I'm assuming you would want to sub-lease, because that would be the simplest option.

Mortgage company have surveryed land and given written approval that it will not affect value etc.. Happy for me to act on their behalf with all this.

So what exactly has the mortgage co given you written approval to do? If they didn't use words like sub-lease, what words did they use?

For example, do they think you will be releasing the land back to the freeholder? (So that the freeholder can sell it to your neighbour.)
