Neighbour trying to claim our land as his own

Kellyg619

I’m just going by citizens advice, but I have found that I have free 30 mins legal advice in my union, and they are calling me Monday- I’ll let you know ��

If legals say it's ok to dispose - probably better that way (get it in writing !) As if you move it back on his land he probably will just move it back again .

Get CCTV installed ASAP. A decent AHD system

Do not forget that even though land issues are a civil - not criminal - matter, that if you feel threatened or believe there may be a breach of the peace you should call the police.

I have known the police call at someones home after a fallout on facebook; if you ask them in the correct way, they will turnout.

When the fence went up they had the cheek to request they got the “nice” side.

That is the norm. The owner gets to look at the post/horrible side; the neighbour gets "the nice side".

Pastures, I'm shocked at your blatant display of fencism!

Both sides of a fence are beautiful in their own way , but you're right about the convention of having the posts on the land-owner's side. (And they're handy for fixing training wires and similar things to.)

Really? I've always put the nice side facing me, and so have my neighbours....put the nice side facing them.

It's a convention with some sense to it, but there are plenty of unconventional people around.

One could also argue that with a picket or featheredge fence, putting the smooth side facing the neighbour means walking on their land to hammer the nails in.

With Easter coming up, I can live with that.

Mike the boilerman - It is my belief that there never was an agreement or any money changing hands. He has lied about a number of issues in the past, and I believe this is another.

Loveka- It’s good to know about adverse possession only viable if he has never been challenged.

I managed to block myself out of my account so sorry for not keeping you updated.

I wrote, what I felt was a diplomatic letter requesting that the items be removed no later than Easter Monday, and reminded him on the terms of the contract. I’m sure he didn’t even read it- he ripped it up and started shouting abuse at me, saying it’s his land now, he won’t be moving anything, and I should go back to where I came from (not sure what he means by that) amongst other things. I am going to start to keep a log of this verbal abuse.

I have an appointment Monday for legal advice although hope to get in touch with citizens advice beforehand.

Just picking up on what the neighbour said to you - could this be racism?
