He is the owner of the croft.

The green map is what is on title deeds.

Yes they are fence lines.

It is the green map that has been decorated they went on the written measurements that the architect wrote on the red map his drawing and measurement at back differ.The title deed is the same as green map.

Yes this is the drawing the architect done and he has marked 51.3m and the green drawing is what is on the land registry the figure of 51.3m does not come down as far as archtect indicated.

Solicitor has said it is in the wrong place and the drawings have measurements on them that bear this out.

Does this make more sense?

Yes it has moved more than 4 meters and it is also 4 meters onto farmland. Yes submitted VAT reclaim and waiting for completion certificate.

Yes.

Yes you are right.Don't think my ex is desperate he has just stopped paying mortgage think getting money for my mistake is more important. But I feel better for the help I've had here because it doesn't look as if they can force me to pay to get title....as long as they don't go to mortgage company but they possibly won't be too concerned as they are getting paid.

He wasn't aware until he saw it on the Crofting Registry of Scotland.The site was not square and I have put house at an angle so on the ground it is difficult to see encroachment.

The house is worth about 400k in total maybe 300k without the bit on the end but people have said on here that it is unlikely that I would be asked to knock it down.

No.But if he has no grounds for land court I will happily live in the house until he needs to give me title. From the advice I have had on here it looks as if Farmer can do nothing. I have a thick skin not being friendly won't worry me and it means I can't sell house to give ex half.

It still has no completion certificate but build started 3 years ago. As my Solicitor has pointed this out to Farmer would I still be able to claim adverse possession after several years?

Architect set out site and set out house so he should have been aware. I was close to the Farmer when I received the site but unfortunately that ship has sailed a while ago! He is now aware of encroachment and has suggested that he will inform planners and has asked if mortgage company are aware.I have not offered money I have told him that it can simply be changed by him going to land Registry I would pay convancing. This has not gone down well. I assume as I am paying the mortgage they will not be concerned that I don't have title.

Yes exactly I need more than just the ground that the house sits on. And as I don't have a completion certificate yet I am afraid that Farmer will go back to planning to point all this out. If as has been suggested I only need to offer low thousands that is not a bother. But I am not sure if he wouldn't think that he could chance his hand in land court after all he has something I need.

I don't think he will be willing to just give it to me the 4 meters includes 2 bedrooms downstairs and a bedroom upstairs.So it is about 25% of my house. If the Farmer will not give me extra ground is there nothing he can do?So can I just sit here until he needs to give me title? Also does the Solicitor have no responsibility in making sure I had title correct.

The plot was gifted to me,by the farm owner that I have now encroached on.The site was measured out by myself and Architect and it was myself and architect that pinned out house .I was going to fence off my own site after build was complete.In honesty I have not put the house in exactly the place I got planning for Architect and myself moved the house slightly forward as the ground was not so boggy but in doing this I have encroached on Farmer(I know I am to blame)but how can I resolve this should Architect or Solicitor that drew down mortgage not have noticed at foundation stage?Should I inform mortgage company that I simply don't have title for house that I got mortgage money for?

I have recently completed my self build the Architect set out site and house,solicitor drew down staged mortgage.When I went to sell it it was noticed that I never had title to my whole site e.g. the house is 4 metres onto farmland that I don't own. What can I do?I have not informed the mortgage company yet and don't know if I should.Do Architect of Solicitor have any respnsibility?
