Would other readers of this group let the neighbour do what he likes
with the border, or take the the limited action that I have taken to
keep my land mine !
Martin.
The most valuable asset you can have is a friendly neighbour.
My land was separated from my neighbour by an empty (but horribly
overgrown)
plot. He used to keep the hedge between the plot and his garden trimmed
from
both sides - the hedge is his pride and joy.
I bought the overgrown plot (after offering to let him have half - which
he
refused). I cleared it and laid a lawn ,vegetable beds and a small
orchard.
My neighbour continued to trim the hedge from both sides - despite a
polite
request to leave my side to me. It irked me that he walked onto my
property
without asking, but hey! it only happens twice a year.
When the deeds came back from the Land Registry I discovered that the
hedge
is actually mine.
I have not told him. I will not tell him - unless we fall out over
something
else! I have made a point of objecting to his presence on the property
which
is sufficient should a claim be made under the adverse possession law.
I'd rather have peace and quiet than a few feet of ground.
I would be overjoyed if my neighbour cut my side of his nasty hedge
