Neighbour saying my garage is in his Garden

Thank you. You've all been a great help. That's what I will be communicating to my solicitor tomorrow and take it from there.0

Looking at old OS maps, there is something on the 1970 one which might include that garage - as this might predate the digital registration, it would be something to explore with the solicitor if the drawn boundaries are correct.
But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

Yes, although the OP's garage shouldn't be on the neighbour's land, there's little in practice that the neighbour can use the land for without interfering with the right of way. So in what way is the garage "stopping his plans", because he's not going to be able to build on the right of way either?theoretica said:Hmm, it certainly looks like a past owner of your property took advantage of that right of way a bit far - maybe with the agreement of a past owner of the neighbour's property, maybe not. But you will also probably want to look out for your neighbour trying to take advantage in turn and make sure that right of way stays clear for you.2 -
You appear to have 5-6 times the "access" across the rest of the rear of the property. What's to stop you punching a hole through that to get access?xmeenax said:
From those images, yes. It's not something I became aware of until today, though legally I guess that doesnt help me.NameUnavailable said:So you agree that your garage is encroaching into the neighbours garden?
I was just wondering because my garage falls into an exit/entry point to my property, do I have any kind of legal right? Because if my neighbour were to build an outer house of some sorts there (even if it is his land), he would be blocking an exit point. If you look at the image, plans to do it on a ally way/road that leads to a main rd, if that makes sense.0 -

Doesnt the map show OP land to be at the far end of the access road? What area would they be getting access from if not here?F1shyFingers said:

Is your neighbour number 54? If so and looking at google maps it looks like half of your garage is in their land. Also your garage is where the access road ends which if your neighbour was to build anything it wouldn't block access as your garage does. All assuming i have the house numbers right.xmeenax said:
The top image is from my documents and the second from the seller. I've put a little black line where the garage is situated.

Back garden already looks busy.
@F1shyFingers - Would they have right of way across Aldi carpark?0 -
Neighbour appears to think that the access road is their land.1
