Garden boundary
remembermee
Posts: 87 Forumite
My neighbour and I had a new fence in the autumn. The guys who did it didn’t follow the boundary and as a result we lost part of our garden. We only have a minute garden so this was actually quite upsetting. In spring our husbands changed the angle of a few of the posts. We are both happy with the new boundary line. Next door like the straightened look and we have a bit of their garden (the straight bit instead of it changing angle into ours) which makes up for our lost section.
However, since the original boundary had a “kick” in it and now it’s straight should we register this change? Is it complicated to do and how do we go about doing it? We don’t want problems if either us sell up but no one seems concerned a part from me!

If everyone is happy, I'd leave be. However should one of you sell, it might get picked up and you might have to put the fence back to the proper location.0

Unless you both own your own properties outright then likely too much hassle and cost as each mortgage company would have to agree the changes.0

Indeed.Unless you both own your own properties outright then likely too much hassle and cost as each mortgage company would have to agree the changes.
If there are no mortgage lenders involved, and both owners agree, the actual process of altering the registered Title Plans for each property would not be hard or expensive. And would pre-empt any issues arising when either of you sell (die or go bankrupt......!).
But getting consent from a mortgage lender will add complexity, and cost.0
