.... only speculation but MAYBE the vendor (whom is the father) erected the temporary fencing up because his son was disturbing the neighbours horses or overstepping the boundary hmmm.... maybe the vendor is the one who put it up in the first place .

It'd be a rare nuisance who prevented themselves from being a nuisance. Most people leave it up to the person being annoyed to pay for and sort out a solution.

If the son/friends were being very very naughty boys .... the vendor's attitude would most likely have been "Kids will be kids" and let the land owner pay for and deal with whatever nonsense the drug-addled idiots were up to.

Thanks for the positive reply! :rotfl: :j
Solicitors are sooooo slllllowwww at replying - grrrrr!
Really hope the neighbour is happy to sort it out- after all, this house is the LAST one that needs renovating in a few hundred metre radius on that road- so I'd like to think they'd be pleased to have someone making it look nice at long last!

Will post once I hear from solicitor/vendor.

These things take time. You ask your solicitor. Your solicitor asks the vendor's solicitor. The vendor's solicitor asks the vendor. The vendor thinks about it for a while and then replies to their solicitor. the vendor's solicitor replies to your solicitor. Your solicitor replies to you.

Yeah, and from my experience, the questions are asked on a Friday afternoon, the reply received the next Friday afternoon and the follow up question asked on the next Friday afternoon.


In other words, a question like that = about 4 weeks

All of which is fairly pointless, because someone needs to go and ask the landowner what they think about it.

That's something on which we can agree, though I think Ectophile's example was general, rather than specific.

Has the OP downloaded the Land Registry documentation for that field, as mentioned by Johnhowell a week ago?

Of course, they can pay many times as much for their solicitor to do the same!
