Boundary and Neighbour Disputes

Boundary and neighbour disputes can often be difficult and overwhelming. Early intervention is crucial to prevent a manageable issue from escalating to the point where you no longer feel comfortable in your own home.

To address the issue promptly and cost-effectively, our team at Taylor Bracewell try and negotiate amicably with your neighbour.

 

What are the different types of boundary disputes? 

  • Fence maintenance disputes
  • Repairs and responsibilities
  • Trespassing
  • House extensions
  • Rights of way
  • Overhanging foliage
  • Shared driveways
  • Access to neighbouring land
  • Where the boundary is located

 

What do we recommend when submitting a claim?

For each boundary and neighbour dispute claim, we strongly recommend the following to put you in the best possible position should the case need to be settled in court:

  • Do not destroy any deeds
  • Photograph your property and boundary from the outset and again if the boundary ever alters. Keep all photographs and ensure they are dated
  • Keep any correspondence
  • If you ever modify a boundary, consider whether your mortgage provider’s consent is required
  • Obtain a surveyor’s report.

 

How do you determine the boundary? 

The deeds to the property, which you will have received when you purchased the property, along with any Land Registry records, may give details of boundaries. Our solicitors in Doncaster and Sheffield can also arrange for an expert to take measurements and photos of where the boundaries of your property are.
