i purchased a property in 2013 after checking the legal pack & title plan at land registry.
Shortly after a landlord of a property bordering on my property claimed i was parking on HIS land
After checking both properties title plans i was proved to be in the right as they clearly showed i owned the land.
When he purchased his property he thought he was purchasing more than he actually was.
His solicitor is now requesting the land registry to alter both plans because he say when the land was divided in 2002 the land registry made a mistake & he has evidence showing so.
However the aledged Land Registry mistake happened in 2002 but he purchased in 2007,5 years later, obviously he never checked title deed of what he was actually purchasing.
The issue is further compounded by his only access to his flats is across my land.
I will obviously object to any changing of my boundary as the change would mean losing a third of my property & also cause me access issues.
Any thoughts?
Out of the three parties involved I am the only one who has not done anything wrong.
Land registry mistake ,Landlord not checking what he was purchasing.
I understand he originally tried a negligence claim against the solicitor who represented him during his purchased but now he is trying this. I do not understand why if the Land registry did make a mistake why he is not pursuing them for compensation & using any reward to sort problem.

What evidence does he have of the "mistake"?
If he has original conveyance documents from the the 2002 conveyance splitting the land then it would seem you have also made the mistake of not checking what you were buying (via your Solicitor). They should have checked the full deeds not just the LR Title Plan.0 -
There's nothing you should or need do unless or until the Land Regsitry contact you.0

If the Land Registry have made a mistake you may be entitled to compensation under their indemnity scheme. Have a look at this practice guide: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rectification-and-indemnity/practice-guide-39-rectification-and-indemnity0
