If HIS shed is on YOUR land - it needs removing pronto (or sell him that bit of your land). One or the other.
At the least - don't let him continue with this lark. If you do - the next owner of your house (which incidentally will be more difficult to sell) won't thank you for the fact they've been left in the position of having to be "firm with a cheeky wotname" to make it quite plain that the legal position is the one that applies. That's voice of experience time:cool:0 -
You don't need a lawyer to contest it.
If the land registry know who the land belongs to, they will contact you and ask if you object to any changes. You reply and say yes, I object.
If your land is unregistered, ie based on paper deeds, then it might be a good time to register it?Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.0 -

Or HE has registered (something somehow) with the LR?
If YOU have, do you mean you've now registered your property?
Or you've registered for the property alert system.
(god I wish people would make themeselves clear!)
If your property is registered, and you've signed upfor alerts, then I don't see a problem. If/when he applies for AP you object using the correct form (have you read the link I provided?). No need for a solicitor.
If the property is unregistered, now might be the time for voluntary 1st registration.0 -
I have registered for a property alert. I would think since we have a mortgage that the land is registered under our name? Sorry to be such a dunce
so the thread of all the comments is I shouldn't be worried as the land is registered under our names? even with the shed on our side of the property?
And thank you all for your comments.0 -
Why is his shed on your land? I'd be telling him this needs to be moved asap!0

The shed or a shed was there when we bought it - didn't worry about it as being a good neighbour didn't want to disturb the status quo0

Quickest way to check whether your property is Registered or no is to check the Nimbus maps website. Become a member of the free level on it (takes minutes to do so and find your way round it).
Then put in your address and your property will show up as either Registered or Unregistered. The ones that aren't Registered yet will have a "U" on them.
Since you bought your property 16 years ago - then chances that it is Registered okay.0 -

The LR is quicker -

If you have registered with Land Registry for property alerts for your property then you must have a LR reference as it is already registered.
With regards to the shed - you could be in trouble here. You have been in the property for 16 years and the shed was in existence when you purchased, so your neighbour could put in a claim for adverse possession for at least the bit of your land which the shed sits on.
You need to give notice that you require the removal of said shed from your land before any claim or sale by your neighbour, and you also need to query why the extension was built directly on your boundary and opens on to it, and also look at whether or not said extension actually sits on the boundary or encroaches on your land.
This could all get very messy and costly.0 -

Surely those two sentances contradict each other? You can only put in a claim for adverse posession on unregistered land.0
