not in the UK, the council owns all waste land unless its sold. They can charge you backdated rent for the extra land you took and demolish your new fence without warning or compensation...wouldn't chance it if i were you. But if you really want the land they may sell it to you cheap...worth asking.

For many years I was using a piece of unused land behind my house. I made a beautiful park that was admired by my neighbors. Recently the owner of the land decided to develop it. All my work went down the drain, and my beautiful park is gone.
If you use a bit of adjoining property, with the permission of the owner, be prepared for his changing his mind in the future. I certainly would not go through the trouble and expense of a fence on the other guys property, you never know what's coming.

No becuase every inch of your house is detailed in the land regestry documents you recieved when you bought the property. So when you came to sell it, the solicitor dealing with it would have lots of problems.Speak to the local council about buying the land, and seeing how much it would cost. I am an estate agent and on one house sale i remember someone had crazy-paved the grass at the front of the house to make a driveway, but becuase it wasnt detailed in the land regestry...lets just say there were some frought moments when we didnt think the sale was going to go through.

Although Ed has given a rule of thumb, its not necessarily the case and you should definitely check on the deeds whose responsibility it is. In fact you should have checked that before you put it up. If it turns out that it is the responsibility of the neighbour, then he has every right to assume that he bought the existing fence with the house and can put anything he likes against it. If its yours, tell him to get his **** in gear, shift his rubbish and make good any damage!

Don't even think about it. In effect you are altering the details of the original deeds.

depends on who owns it
if it belongs to the city or county, you could get in serious trouble
