on (B) deeds area is much smaller should be open no vehicles to be on it (B) Deeds house was built and dated before (A) deeds does this make any differance

Confusing!
So A has a wider % of driveway & can/does park a car on it.
B has a thinner % of driveway & cant/doesn't park a car on it.
Is that what your saying?0 -
Deeds(A) Vehicle is restricting access to drive for (B) deeds because it is parked on area. Can access drive but it would be alot easyer it was like states on (B) deeds
Separate drives for both property's (B) has to drive past (A) to park on driveThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
so house A owns a larger % of the width, but by parking there it prevents house B from getting past to park in their garage / enlarged space at the bottom? as House B has to drive partially on House A's side of the drive to get to their parking spot?
what do the deeds say about right of access? whether you have a case or not will depend on whether you have a right of access over house A's land to access your drive.
Have you tried asking your neighbours not to park there? is there somewhere else they can park that doesn't restrict you?
if they're not co operating the only way you can really enforce it is by using solicitors, but as that's likely to be expensive i'd try all other options first!
Good luck0 -
I have access to my drive but where A is parking a van if makes it more difficult it's that a van is parked on a area on my deeds which is half size on what it is on his deeds his deeds state he is nothing doing nothing wrong my deeds state different that's the issue we don't talk
My house built/deeds are dated before his his house has been bought/sold with area of shared access not what he soley owns mayb to boost up house priceThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Are we talking about shared access (both parties to be allowed to use the drive for access but neither allowed to obstruct the other's access), or are we talking about deeds which show different ownership/rights for the same strip of land?0

As I've said previously access for me is more difficult as there is a van there especially if I have vehicles on my drive already if the van isnt there this area like it states on my deeds no stationary vehicle would be alot easyer with van have to do 30 point turns
On his deeds where he is parking his van the small area in front of his van shared
on my deeds it states the front and the area where is van is stationary and that's the problem two sets of deeds same area but drawn differantThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

1) On A's Plan, does A own the full width of the (double-width?) drive, with B's Deed showing he has a right of accessover all,or part, or this land?
2) Or the reverse: On B's Plan, does B own the full width of the (double-width?) drive, with A's Deed showing he has a right of accessover all,or part, or this land?
3) Or Dos A's Plan show he owns half the double width? Or less than half? With B's Plan showing he owns the other half?Or more/less than half?
Do A or B's Deeds also indicate a right of access over the other's land (section of drive)?
4) Do A and B's Plans both indicate ownership of the entire drive? Unlikely as land cannot be simultaneously ownedby more than one person (unless jointly on a singleTitle).
The bottom line is that the rights of each person are nothing to do with perceived fairness, nor to do with the width of one person's van/car, they are whatever is shown on the Title as being owned, or whatever right of access is granted.0
