Racketeering in order

[pure one]

solicitors and their accosiates who create problems for targeted unsuspecting individuals and to make profits and gains for their family and friends .
is this legal ?

[MIKE770]

how about giving a for instance/area etc

[pure one]

Unable to give area , however I hope the answer would be the same for any part of the uk . An instance would be not giving the correct / full information to clients and using their knowledge and powers to obtain information in order to create future problems and the need for legal action and claims . Both privately and through insurance claims .

A solicitor who says to a client in regards to a tital plan “does it look like this” and when told guttering overhung the boundary replied they only needed to know about anything made of brick .
”shameful”
Yes the client may have been to trusting , gullible and totally uneducated in the law of the land but they should not have been treated this way .
Oh and the property had not been registered before .
The list goes on to much to list .

Hello Pure One I think what you’re referring to is airspace. A new property with guttering overhanging into a neighbours property would be invading their airspace or even trespass, however a property over 20 years old probably over time would have acquired that airspace.

• If the overhanging gutters have been in place for over 20 years, then the owner may have acquired a prescriptive right for them to be there. In certain circumstances, use of a neighbour’s land can be acquired by right through long usage. It is possible to acquire a right to drain rainwater through overhanging gutters;
• If they have been in place at least 12 years, then it is possible to acquire actual ownership of the airspace that they occupy. The new rules on adverse possession in the Land Registration Act 2002 make this less likely, unless the gutters were in place at least as far back as 1991. However, it is possible to acquire adverse possession of a piece of airspace, even if the ground below has not been possessed.

With regards to brick work, I guess that would be based on floor plan. For example if a new buildings dimensions exceeds the original plan and the plannning dept hasn’t been notified of modified plans then worse case scenario could be rip the lot down.

What happens if there is no proof of how long the guttering had been there ?

The question should have been put to the previous owners who had lived there 50 years .
They answered on the sales sheet that nothing overhung (clearly not true ).
