LEGAL ADVICE NEEDED - Neighbour ripped up joint path

Legacy_user

wn an end of terrace in a corner plot where me and my neighbours are tenants in common of a path after I bought half of it in 1983 for £9000 and the changes were updated on the register. The neighbour has ripped this whole path up without my permission as they said they thought it was theirs, then relayed it too high and sloping to my property bridging my damp proof course and causing damp. What rights do I have and what can I do about this after I paid all this money for half ownership and they've ruined it without me even saying they could rip it up? 😫

Have you spoken to them about this yet?

If not, then raise your concerns politely but firmly.

If yes, what did they say?

Situations like this are usually best resolved by face to face discussions.

Only if that gets you nowhere should you look at more serious, and far more expensive options.


Edit: I have just seen that you have started four threads on this subject and also posted in the Land Registry thread.

I agree. What discussions have you had with them? Presumably this has been weeks, perhaps months in the making so what did you do or say when they first ripped up the path? How did they respond?

It sounds too early for legal advice and you're not going to get that here anyway, you need to speak to a solicitor, but do make sure you've exhausted the amicable routes first.

Getting legal advice is not the same as taking legal action. I would get legal advice before speaking to your neighbour. That way you will know exactly how you stand as far as the law is concerned. You do not have to say that you have taken legal advice when talking to your neighbour.
