In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

You can try, but I doubt the average conveyancing solicitor will want to get involved with hot dog van evictions.Devongardener said:Decide on the solicitor you will be using for the conveyancing and ask them to write a letter requiring the neighbour to move it without delay.1 -
Send them a letter listing a date to have it removed by (say 1 weeks time), if not removed by then it becomes abandoned property and you can report it abandoned and scrap it.0

coxella said:My Dad recently passed away. He let his neighbours keep their hot dog van on his drive for 'a few weeks', (t was never moved or used, they just stored it there), it must have been there for about 5 years now, but he said he didn't mind. We are now in the process of sorting his house and want to get the estate agent around for pics, etc, however, the neighbours are giving excuse after excuse why its not been moved yet, these seem to be blatant lies and stalling. Can anyone advise where we stand on this and what we can do? if there wasn't a brake on the wheel we would drag it round to their drive ourselves.Ask what you can do to help.Would it be of benefit to them if you offered to drive it for them? Do they need contact details of a company that can tow it/put it on a low loader?Help paint them into a corner.Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid2

Sadly, that's also not the law in this case.Smalltownhypocrite said:Send them a letter listing a date to have it removed by (say 1 weeks time), if not removed by then it becomes abandoned property and you can report it abandoned and scrap it.
That's only the case if you don't know whose vehicle it is and you have done everything you possibly can.
OP: Too many barrack room lawyers in here. I'd get proper legal advice. This is a can of worms.6 -
Yes, if they don’t move definitely get proper legal advice.0
