Hello,
I hope someone can help with my problem. We moved into a bungalow a few months ago. There is a boundary fence separating ours and the neighbours property at the front and rear gardens, but the area of land between our two buildings had no boundary fence. The plans from the Land Registry shows a straight line down this side of our property from the very rear to the very front. The fences at the rear and front line up perfectly so it would be clear where the boundary should be between our buildings, in fact a few months ago the neighbour put tarmac on his drive up to this line. Then two weeks ago he erected a gate right across this piece of land with a post on our side of the boundary and a panel to fill the gap between the post and the wall of our bungalow. I asked him to remove the panel and he did, at the time I didn't realise the post was on our land as it was obscured. I since requested that he remove the gate post as it is on our land as we planned to erect a fence to join the fence at the front and rear. He refused to remove the post, so now we have a problem where our fence is erected up to the point where his post intersects and the fence then recommences the other side of it. As our fence is close to his post and gate it appears he is unable to open it fully. His argument is that no one can prove where the boundary is and that he believes our boundary is below the gutter line, which would not give us adequate access to the side of our property, However, he enjoys a similar boundary to what we believe we should have on the other side of his bungalow with his neighbour. I have tried in vein to ask him to move his post. Please can someone advise me how to resolve this matter, is it possible to find a resolution without solicitors and court action?
