Neighbour encroaching my garden

Yes, according to her, it ran down the back of my row of houses. But then the council came and apparently gave everyone their portion of the alley. That's why I'm guessing everyone's boundary lines show what they do. If my property were 1.5 m shorter, wouldn't it show on the deed and boundary lines above?


I am guessing she wasn't given the alley to her right or it would be shown above. I think the sewer pipe runs down the end of our gardens on my row of houses,  so the sewer company need to have access.

Ignore the previous message Bendy House, I just absorbed that you said HER deed in the original message. I also checked my paperwork and it just says in the letter from the solicitors that I'm not allowed to build any solid structures within three meters of the public sewer which runs at along the bottom of the garden without the water company's permission. I think that alleyway she absorbed to the right may have been for access to that area, but I'll find out when her deeds arrive.

So she's taken approx 2.25m2 of land, but who the rightful owner is at present is unknown. I'd speak to the council or research the transfer of the 1.5 metres running across the bottom of your property that may have never been own by your property, was owned with a right of way or was owned by all the houses in your row.

Thanks DanDare999. If it shows in the deed as within the boundary lines of my property, surely, I'm the rightful owner of the land even if at some point it might have been an alleyway. That's the whole point of the deed and boundary lines I thought to confirm ownership!

It should do and hopefully hers will mirror yours.

Just got title plan for my neighbour's house and it's a bit different, but my garden is still a rectangle.

I think I would write to the previous owner to ask whether 127 had asked/bought/taken the land then.  I suspect not.  Leave space on the letter for previous owner to just handwrite a few sentences and return in an SAE for, hopefully, a quick response.

It seems an odd thing to do considering it appears they have plenty of space.
