House Deeds

The title plan is unlikely to give details of some "extra land;' it will just show a red line enclosing what's yours.

By comparing the line with what things are like in the real world, you may be able to see if 2 metres appear to be missing.

You can buy your neighbours' title plans from the Land Registry, contrast and compare, all for the price of a few pints:

Long, long ago in a galaxy far away.....the bin men used to go down rear pedestrian lanes and collect the bins, rubbish sacks etc. They'd even return the bin to the right garden gate.

Then came privatisation with its efficiency drives, closely followed by elfin safety, which meant that the 'refuse operatives,' as they were by then known, could no longer go beyond the pavements for fear they might fall and not be insured.

The back lanes fell into disuse; their other function as a route for the British worker and his/her bicycle no longer being of interest. And as they began to grow-over, people worried who might lurk in them, perhaps waiting to steal things, shoot-up or just steal the occasional child.

And so it came to pass that some bold individuals began to fence off the old back alleys, incorporating them into their gardens, with others quickly following, emboldened by the lack of action visited upon their errant neighbours by the faceless ones carrying clipboards.

Here endeth the history lesson.

I'd sit and see what everybody else did and eventually get round to seeing/checking my deeds and comparing.... even if you do own that land, do you have any idea of the price of that "bit of fence"?

Once you see the cost it might not be quite so important for the next few years.
