Neighbour boundary?

Question

Our neighbour has attacked a hedge which we believe is in our land.Her nephew states that the boundary is hers - our land registry docs clearly show that the disputed area is in our boundary, and I am being asked to fork out up to £1k to have a surveyor draw up a survey plan. Land registry boundaries have a tolerance of +/- 1m apparently, and her plot is not registered. What do I need to do to convince him that what is mine, IS MINE? (Apart from shaking him gently by the throat!)
Any advice is welcome please.

Answer 1

I am sure the land registry have surveyors who can try to clarify boundaries & settle disputes, so give them a call.

Good luck

Answer 2

Never mind the Land Registry docs! If you have the original deeds, then the actual boundaries should be clearly shown, down to the last inch! Otherwise, you're stuck with either a solicitor or a surveyor!

Answer 3

Once the land is surveyed and registered they can complain to the court but, they'll have to prove it, you'll have to counter sue and add their charges.

This always starts a dispute. We have a easement that is the same way. Our neighbor thinks that if we cut the grass to make it look nice we'll claim the land, it did make them help keep it looking nice. I don't know if you'' win, some people are very Territorial.

Answer 4

Hi Im in a similar position and was told the same either pay for someone to site survey and possibly go through the courts or put up with it...

ive just put up with it but have a 6foot brick wall on my boundary!! thats what you call annoying

Good luck

Answer 5

if it looks nice and they look after it I wouldnt worry about it but if its in an area that you use all the time and you docs that state that is your take them out and move them lol sorry.
