Hello,
I live in a share of freehold maisonette, with a flat below that also has the garden area attached to it. I moved in 2 years ago after it was converted from a single home. My neighbour moved in a couple months before me, but only became the owner a year ago, as his flat was owned by his brother beforehand.
The neighbour's garden area runs around the building in a U shape, however both the leasehold and the planning permission indicate that the right side of it is a shared space designated as a bins area and a bicycle storage shed.
Currently there's a fence panel where the red line is, keeping most of the area as a part of his garden, with a little area that is open in the front.
As the neighbour calims this is his space and intends to build a shed there. Due to a series of incidents with the neighbour that indicate to me that a good neighbourly relationship isn't a priority for him, I would like to ensure that he doesn't get de-facto ownership of this space. I have already notified him in writing multiple times that he is in possession of communal space and I do not agree to any fixed structures on it.
I have also notified his solicitor (in writing) of this when the ownership was transferred from his brother to him a year ago and ask for the both of them to be notified.
Are there any other steps I need to take in order to ensure my rights?
Thanks in advance!
