Barry, I know how horrible it can be. Obviously you can buy copies of their and your title plan from the Land Registry but there are no measurements on them so it still a hollow exercise. Or can you get plans from the local authority planning dept if the houses were built relatively recently.
Two more caveats though.....
Chainsaw = criminal damage if you saw up something that's not yours.
Boundary disputes have to be disclosed to purchasers when you sell
It sucks, so, why don't you consider non boundary-related revenge?
Examples might include unsolicited food deliveries, registering them for every junk mail delivery you can find, order sex toy catalogues, russian brides, baldness, impotence cures for him, incontinence pads and pile ointment for her. ____________________ Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right |

Is there enough of a gap between where they've put their fence and the boundry line for you to plant a row of 15 Leylandii? Or build a wall? Or to stand on your land and paint the fence a stupid colour?
And if there isn't. Wind your neck in.
Get the workers back in while they are away and move it to where it's supposed to be?
Even if it's been up a long time, they would need to base adverse posession on a deed of title.
Ex council houses usually have very detailed boundry provisions in their title deeds. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Also, it's not THAT expensive to send a solicitors letter. Might be enough.
Log any abusive behaviour. Property disputes nothwithstanding, it's a lot easier to have something done about antisocial behaviour. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Thanks for all the replies ... it's helping me stay calm!
I wish I was a nutter, I'd be out with the chainsaw tonight if I was ... but I really don't want to get jailed or even in trouble with the law!
I'll bide my time, I'm good at that .... I still remember feckwits from primary school that I'd like to get even with ... and in that time I can maybe come up with something to exact my revenge
I won't be selling, I'll be here until I die (which may not be long after my heart attacks back in September) ......... hopefully I'll outlive them and get to piss on their graves.
I do like the idea of the Leylandii
It'd next right next to my garage, so roots might be a problem ... but I think the roots would head for their side and start punching up through their tacky sandstone paving etc before damaging my garage foundation.
Also, they'd be sandwiched between the garage and the fence, so might not grow very well to begin with, and I'd need to make sure they didn't damage my garage roof .... but the thought of blocking all light to their garden is very appealing
All the best ... Barry |

Every time my neighbour gets a new fence (3 or 4 times in the last decade) I'm always very nice to the workmen. I reckon my garden's about 3 foot wider than when the house was built ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

I spent many sleepless nights, all of the time remembering the words of a lawyer saying that most of his income was derived from funny looks and boundary disputes. Eventually I took the law into my own hands and ripped the fuckers out. That was about six months ago and although the old bat has savaged me over other issues on several occasions since the event, she hasn't mentioned the trees.
I reckon that she knew that she was in the wrong, though legally I was probably on a very sticky wicket.
I was lucky. You may not be! |
Nah, trees are a known thing. If they are on your land, or even just overhanging the boundry you can cut the parts of them encroaching on your land (in this case, all of them). If they are her trees, you have to offer her the wood back or it could be theft. You can't just bung the cut branches over the fence, that could be fly tipping. So you cut down the tree/branch, offer her the wood back, she tells you to fuck off, you fill your log pile, job jobbed. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

Listen to Ms Suntan-King and let it go. I get involved in this sort of nonsense for a living, and as she rightly says, the thickness of a line on your deeds is magnified on the ground. To be precise, your deeds will almost certainly contain a plan at 1:1250, and assuming you are looking at a copy based upon the current O.S., the line will be in red and about 1.2m when projected on the ground. The actual boundary in law is the outside edge of the red line. To compound the problem, deed plans don't have dimensions and the O.S. base isn't accurate, so you are on a hiding to nothing trying to work to mm.
You could employ someone like me to give a view on where the boundary is, but it can only be a view for the reasons stated above. What I try to do in these situations is have both parties on site when I survey and get both to agree to wherever I put my markers there and then. I can then produce a Land Registry compliant plan in pdf which is printed at 1:1250 and sent to the Client's solicitor, who then sends a copy to the other side and assuming neither side has had a change of mind about where my markers went, the boundary can be agreed and any land transferred as necessary via a conveyance. If either side disagrees it can get very expensive and you really don't want to get in the middle of that...

If it 'abuts the highway' and is over 1.0m in height it will need planning permission. Your neighbour could cause you bother with this. Also, depending upon the age of your house there may be a restrictive covenant preventing such things. Also, again depending upon the age of the house there may be a planning condition removing permitted development rights. These things aren't always that simple! ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Generally you can have up to 2m high between dwellings if it doesn't abut the highway - see link.

You could try the old flowers delivered to the guy from a fictitious female and have the card say something like "Missing you so much, missing how you used to make me feel in bed, can't we try again?" and make sure they are delivered when the lady of the house is in. Might not help your boundary dispute but if she's got a short fuse and a big temper should make for an entertaining few hours............. ____________________ Yamaha RD50M, Honda C90, Yamaha RS100, Yamaha RD125LC, Honda XL125 V9 Varadero, Honda NT700VA, Honda VFR800X, Honda CRF1000L, Honda ST1300 Pan European |
