now for the past 12 months. he has been asked time and time again could he move them and we are told that the builder is coming at the weekend to finish the job! as you can guess this never happens. in a couple of hrs time i am expecting delivery of a caravan and have once again asked him to move the bricks only for him to disapper. does any one know if i am able to claim the bricks as they are on my property and have been there for the past 12 months. this does have to be law abiding.

Just throw them onto his drive.

There is an Access To Neighbouring Land Act. This covers things like your neighbour/his workmen being able to leave something on your land (like scaffolding) if needed to get work done on his property. Your drive is a different matter. No-one has the right to block anyone's drive or keep anything on it without permission. For instance, if someone parked a car across your drive and refused to move it you would have the right to call the Police to get it removed. You cannot keep the bricks unless you write your neighbour a letter asking him to remove them by such and such a date. State in your letter that you will consider them your property if they are not removed by that date. This will keep everything within the law. Good luck.

Call the police,what he is doing is completely illegal.
Originally you gave permission for him to have his bricks there,but on the day you first asked him to move them the permission ended.
If you cannot get full access to your drive,he has caused an obstruction which is illegal.
You have tried to be the good neighbour and basically you are being took the p**s of.
If you do see him then tell him he has got 'x' hours to remove all the bricks or the police will be called.
No doubt he will make you out to be the bad one in all this,but hey you helped out and he has over stayed his welcome.
Or if you would like to claim the bricks for yourself,again speak to him about getting them removed.
If he says he cannot remove them in the time given then say you will use the bricks yourself if he does'nt wish to have them.
Again remind him that he is breaking the law,and they will be called if things are'nt taken care of immediately.
MOVE EM OR LOSE EM,WILL BE YOUR NEW MOTO.
The law is on your side,and your neighbour has really used you and i would'nt call he a decent neighbour anyway.
If you could get help to move them yourself,i would but put them on his property to cause him mass diruption.
Like placing them like a wall infront of his front and rear doors,he will then have to remove them just to gain entry to his home.
I know! its a bit wicked but hey a little revenge is sweet ain't it.
Hope you have got a few ideas out of this and good luck.

If there are not too many bricks, I would move them onto his property myself. Get a few friends around to help you!

Just build yourself a nice barbeque out of them. I think he has had plenty of time to move them and has an absolute cheek to leave them there for such a long time.
You have been a lot more patient than I would have been.
Tell him that if they are not moved by a certain date that you will remove them yourself and either use them yourself or sell them on or skip the lot and present him with a nice bill.

Depending on how cordial you relations are --and how cordial you want to keep them-- consider this "neighbor, for the past year we've verbally agreed that your bricks are OK on my property but now I feel it's time for a firm commitment. So, do you mind signing this agreement that if they are not removed within 15 days then I have the right to dispose of them as I see fit? I've been very patient and accommodating but, as with everything else in life, it has its limits and the time has come for me to define them. You're welcome."

Send him a letter by certified mail that if he doesn't move the bricks by X date (give him a couple more weeks), then it will be considered abandoned property. If he doesn't move it by the date, then it is abandoned property, and you can claim it.

its not easy to give you an answer as you dont say if its a joint drive or how the bricks came to be on YOUR property and how many are involved but my ready answer to you either keep them and sell them on or throw them onto his driveway

you let this go on for 12 months? he's almost grandfathered in! in real estate law he has just about established a legal easement on your property. send neighbor a certified letter anouncing your intention to take legal possession of these bricks as abandoned property. i would charge him rent. what would local storage cost? $50? he owes you $600 in storage fees.

I'd take some photos then move the bricks to his yard myself.
