Boundry dispute

So you sold part of the land to a neighbour and that has made what is left too small for a building plot (at least for the house you have permission for)

Cake, and eating it.

There's no reason why the land should not be sold in two lots. I sold a small piece of land in 4 lots to get the best return from it. I didn't see that as greedy; just good business.

The OP's mistake was not exercising due diligence and trusting that the boundary would go exactly where they'd agreed, or where she thought they'd agreed it should be.

In situations like this there's no place for relying on 'trust.' There's an obligation on everyone to act in their own interests and monitor the situation, through a professional if needs be.

In the circumstances described, I agree with the poster above that the best course would be to come to an amicable agreement, because the land won't sell if a dispute over the boundary must be declared.

not sold, agreed a trade... he just took more than agreed.


you are right, we have tried to chat and resolve this issue, I don't think there are going to be any winners.


emotions get high in disputes, the fact is he took more than agreed, because his shed is on it, it makes it difficult to give back, even if he wanted to.


there is still time to resolve the issue as far as the boundary is concerned, I think the illegal shed is doomed though, when the shed comes down I am hoping the replacement fence will go up in the correct position.
now the council are on it, I maybe won't have to do anything.
careful thoughts are needed, there is a lot too lose, building plot wise

Sorry I told you the wrong thing...don't click on "history" click "view" on the top line of options then go down the list to "historical imagery" and tick the box...it will open up a date line in the top left of the picture and you can slide it backwards in time from present day....sorry Iv'e not been on it for ages...Iv'e had my own boundary nightmare so know what you are going through now -mine still isn't resolved over a year later! x

Set fire to the shed and burn it down. Claim it wasn’t you. Problem solved.

thanks Jim ...I like the carryon picture big fan..


Riggyman the arsonist...... when should I start claiming it wasn't me....i'm not familiar with the protocol ! i'd like to look as innocent as possible.....
is it much effort?.... shopping for the matches, the mask and hood and sneaking round clothes, the shoe with no defining tread , the alibi.... i'd have to stay all night in the pub. .... sounds involved.... i'll put it in the maybe pile for now!
I had thought of taking off the gutter and returning it but he's has made the roof with old asbestos from his old garage , I have a suspicion , a niggle, that it's bad for your lungs.

Asbestos! Yes, it is "bad for your lungs". It is lethal in certain circumstances, mostly when it is disturbed/moved to another location such as a shed roof. As I understand it, it is the dust that is dangerous though I would not want it anywhere near me in any form. I think perhaps you should inform the council as, if they have to visit in pursuance of your complaint, it is only fair their representative is forewarned of the possible presence of toxic substances. I wish you luck.

I disagree

I think you should definitely inform the council. I would be very surprised if they do not serve a demolition order on the shed and it will cost the neighbour several hundred £ to have the asbestos removed, bagged and taken away by a licensed contractor

That was my first reaction too; thank you, lincroft1710; I sit corrected.
