  • Pre-action protocol/conduct letter claiming damage to plants/aggression/harassment UK

    Hi, I hope i am posting this in the correct place. We received a threatening solicitors letter. Our neighbour is claiming ownership and compensation for plants that we planted but recently removed. Our property had a small low boundary fence which must have been in existence since the house was built in the 70s. We planted plants and maintained them for 23 yrs. Recently we removed many to erect a fence and left some on our neighbor's side as she had insisted she owned them and she has always caused a lot of trouble. Now retrospectively we discover that our land registry document shows the boundary which is about 30cm more into our garden from the original builders demarcation fence. We wondered what would take precedents - the fence or the land registry document? In respect of claims of aggression - the police were involved and there was no further action as our neighbour's lied about events. We have no idea where to start with this and would appreciate hearing from any who can give us some clarity on the way forward - particularly in respect of the fence verses the land registry borderline, and regarding someone claiming ownership of plants they neither paid for or planted. I should add that the letter is only claiming for cost of replacement plants/installation but gives a long narrative of aggressive events that never happened. Thank you.

    You need to reply, in a way that makes your position clear in respect of the various allegations and which discourages further action.
