Boundary Disputes

Neighbours from Hell

What happens if a neighbour complains that your new wall is overlapping their land, or their new extension takes up part of a pathway between your houses?

A minor disagreement can quickly become a full scale dispute involving Solicitors' letters and threats of Court action. Even more damaging are the costs involved. Ultimately, the cost of protecting your right to land in Court could be 50 or 100 times as much, so it pays to think hard before rushing into legal action.

H.M Land Regsitry records the general position of the boundaries in each registered title using an adapted large scale Ornance Survey plan.

This Title plan may not accurately represent the true positions of the boundaries on the ground, or for that matter be sufficently detailed to record minor differences.

Lomax, Sons and Mills specialise in both property issues and the law. We will look at all apsects of the problem and advise on whether or not you have a case.

We will prepare any technical data that may help solve the dispute at an early stage and, if necessary, provide a Court with the appropriate evidence and information needed to make a judgement.
