    As someone who once bought a property with an undisclosed neighbour dispute it is not worth the cost both financially and emotionally. :mad:

    I tend to agree with your sentiment.

    Whoever is right or wrong, it doesn't make sense to 'buy yourself into' a neighbour dispute that's so bad that solicitors are involved.


    Unless perhaps, if the property is a bargain and you can negotiate a solution before exchanging contracts.

    e.g. You agree to "sell" your parking space to the neighbour, in exchange for one of his garages - if that's acceptable to you. With all the transfers, right of ways etc handled by your solicitor.

    The owner of the garage (there is only one) wants to change it into a house it's unlikely to happen but to buy the garage will cost a lot of money giving him my parking space would then make me unable to to use the garage.
