We have a big tree over looking our garden which is blocking out
light,
view etc. Nobody seems to own the land that the tree is on ( We have
tried the land registry) and nobody seems to know what sort of tree it
is!
We would love to know what variety of the tree is and how best to
"top"it and "trim" it.

Anybody that could help I can send a photograph.

Put a fence/rope/boundary around the land with a notice that is is yours
and
date it.

One of a few things will happen, either the land owner will pop up and
say
"Oi it's mine" and you can tackle him (Make sure that he IS the land
owner
and not someone 'claiming to be' the land owner). Or the Council will
pop
up
and say it's their's. Same routine applies/ Or a neighbour will
challenge
you and ask questions, in which case you ask them to prove who owns it,
but
leave your boundary up. Or in seven years time, it's yours and you can
do
what you like, (within reason) with it and thus chop down that by now,
huge
tree. Unless some rotten sod has put a TPO on it. But they can be
removed

Mike. That is an interesting process. What is the history behind such
legalities?

Unable to say exactly the correct situation, but both myself by a previous
house owner, and my sister by a previous house owner have had land attached
to our properties. In my sister's case, the bit of land extra, brought the
total area to one acre and they called the house 'Stealacre'!! She sold it a
few years back and 3 or 4 more houses have been built on it.

My piece of land was half an acre joined on.

Did a google search and came up with the following. I have not read all of
it but it directs you to various places.

Good luck :-))

As Mark Twain siad, 'Buy land, they ain't making any more' :-))
