House boundaries

Recommended Posts

I have bought a house about a year ago, the house to the side of me is owned by a housing association, there is a piece of land next to my property that was heavily over grown, so I requested that they cleared the land and maintained it properly, they did this, but now have left it with roots sticking out the ground, surrounding property's fencing have collapsed as they were being supported by the bushes, nettles have now started growing, and now my property is open to the surrounding property's.

 

I have emailed them twice enquiring about the land, saying I'm interested in purchasing this land, if not then they need to maintain it properly. I had a call saying they received my email, but I have not had any feedback from this, and it's been 2 months now.

 

What are my rights? Where do I stand with this?

 

Thanks for any help.

i always thought that 1 property was responsible for each boundry fence.

 

i.e. the boundary on the left and at the rear of our garden is our responsibility, so repairs and replacement are down to us, but the fence boundary to the right is my neighbours responsibility.

 

this also means its down to me to weed and keep the path clear that runs down the left of our fence.

 

with regards to your issue i would suspect it will need chasing ask for an update.

 

until the land has been signed over i don't think you have alot of rights. if it was me i would be tempted to strim it and put down some weed killer but apart from that its going to be a wait and see game.

does that usually cost?

 

 

Of course it will cost.

 

Why not get out there and just tidy it up yourself, job done and no confrontation, also remember the 10 year adverse land possesion act 2002. ;):thumbs:

Try and buy it, you could build another house on that :lol:

 

 

Why buy it when you can get it for nowt :thumbs:

 

Is that possible then? Would be an amazing money spinner if so!

 

Of course it is, read my first post :thumbs:
