Shared Ownership Parking issues

loubel

You don't need to spend money buying your neighbours title deeds, you need to read yours and the report sent to you by your solicitor to help you understand them.

What does the map show here? https://www.landregistry-uk.com/map-search  Not the place to buy deeds, but a useful map function, and will show if there is any complicated stuff of overlapping boundaries or not the three spaces outline you expect.

It isn't the boundaries of the land which are in dispute. The OP's neighbours are claiming a right to park on them which won't be shown on the title plans but would be set out in the lease.

This would mean buying the title deeds for around 10-15 properties at £6 a go, I won't be doing that just to be told by the neighbours that they still 'dont believe it'

One of the neighbours insists that title deeds don't 'mean jack !!!!!!'

The neighb who says that 'deeds mean jack' is silly, but that doesn't mean that what he claims in this case ain't correct - we just don't know. You don't, and we don't. They might - we just don't know.

This will almost certainly only cost below a £enner to resolve. Copies of two neighbour's deeds - I suggest the 'one particular neighbour who seems to think it's his', and perhaps the one who thinks 'deeds mean jack'? Provided they are bo9th also claiming access to the parking space - ignore Sideshow Bobs.

Strongly urge you to do this to resolve it one way or another. You may not like the outcome, but it could also be exactly what you are after.

This is extremely unlikely to just go away - folk can be fixated on parking rights (no irony intended).

If you do not obtain conclusive evidence, then I can only see an awful time between you and a number of neighbours - all of them united against you.

Be ready to humbly apologise if you got it wrong. Be ready to plant an L-shaped finger and thumb against your forehead if it turns out good. An accompanying wiggly dance is optional.

(No, don't do that...)

I just haven't got £60 to waste on title deeds for every property when I don't think that should be a necessary step to have to take 

If you want to resolve this, you're going to need all the facts.  That will involve some expenditure, a solicitor will cost more than downloading the information yourself.  Otherwise this is going to drag on as an argument with your neighbours and if it becomes a dispute it could have an impact if and when you want to sell your property.

How old are is the property and where in the Country?

Here in Oxfordshire a 2 bedroom flat with three parking spaces would have been breach of the county planning policies at anytime over the last 15-20 years, as they deliberately restrict parking availability.

You can download the title deeds for any property from the Land Registry.  I would check the information you were given by your solicitor when you bought the property, and download the title deeds for all the parking spaces so that you know who owns what (there will be a charge for this).  You can then decide how to proceed.

OP was told this 2 weeks ago. I suspect they don't want to know what the neighbours deeds say in case it's not the answer they want.

You said one neighbour said they have rights to park in "your" parking space, so why not start there? If £6 is too much, start a go-fund-me and I'll chuck in a quid
