Hi ( merry xmas all)
I just bought a property, The property comes with two allocated parking space is andthe neighbours are still parking on my drive.
I have politely spoken to them twice about this and that i am the new owner, Yet they are still parking there.
Where do I stand legally, ive been told the police and council can not do anything about this.
Could i hire a private tow company to remove the car and have the bill forward to the neighbour?

The pole may be something to look into.

The drive way is not shared - its two spaces in front of my house with a shared foot path that divides the houses.0 -

You say the parking spaces are 'allocated' to you, so it doesn't sound like you own the land.
Who 'allocated' them to you, and on what basis? (e.g. Are they included in a lease? Or do you rent them on a monthly basis?)
You should probably be complaining to whoever 'allocated' the two parking spaces to you (e.g. freeholder, managing agent), that those spaces are not available for you to use.
Then the freeholder, managing agent or whoever could take appropriate action against the trespassers.0 -
I had this happen to me once, I blocked said neighbour's car on my drive with my own. Suffice to say it was the last time I had to do it.Mortgage free I: 8th December 2009!

If your not using them and they want to.........
Sounds like an income opportunity to me.
