What can you do if you are disputing a boundary?

There are a wide range of boundary disputes that can arise from the simple matters of which way around a fence should face and overhanging foliage to the more complicated matters such as the location of a boundary position.

Land Registry

There is a general misconception that disputes as to the location of a boundary can easily be resolved by looking at Land Registry plans. In fact, Land Registry plans only give a general position of the land and not an accurate one. Therefore there is a possibility that land that appears to be yours on the Land Registry plan could actually belong to your neighbour and vice versa. This is a very specialist area of law and litigation can be very expensive. For this reason you will require a solicitor with experience in this area who can advise you on the merits of your case and assist you in bringing about a cost effective resolution to your problem; this is experience that we at Neves possess.
