I’ve also contacted highway, as the original deeds (I have them now) do not specify any restrictions on what can be done with P31.

Tbh that’s why we are seeking the solicitors because the title plan says nothing about this. It just says: A: Property Register This register describes the land and estate comprised in the title. SURREY : XXX 1 The Freehold land shown edged with red on the plan of the above Title filed at the Registry and being 52 XXXX XXX, XXXXX and Garage (XXXX XXX). 2 The land has the benefit of the rights granted by but is subject to the rights reserved by the Transfer dated 19 May 1989 referred to in the Charges Register. B: Proprietorship Register This register specifies the class of title and identifies the owner. It contains any entries that affect the right of disposal. Title absolute 1 (27.02.2001) PROPRIETOR: XXXXX of 52 XXXXXX. 2 (27.02.2001) The price stated to have been paid on 19 January 2001 was XXXXX. 3 (27.02.2001) The Transfer to the proprietor contains a covenant to observe and perform the covenants referred to in the Charges Register and of indemnity in respect thereof. Charges Register This register contains any charges and other matters that affect the land. 1 A Transfer of the land in this title dated 19 May 1989 made between (1) Thames Water Authority (2) Wimpey Homes Holdings Limited and (3) XXX Hardy and XXX Hardy contains restrictive covenants. NOTE: Copy filed. 2 (02.02.2006) REGISTERED CHARGE dated 31 January 2006. 3 (02.02.2006) Proprietor: XXX BUILDING SOCIETY End of register I’ve omitted some personal details with Xs, but that is all it says in the title plan and register…

Thanks Ian. I guess just to be technical about it (and I’m not saying this is logical to do for an extra bit of garden), that with all those assumptions turning out to be true, technically (technically in quotes), you could build a fence around where the dotted line is, with a door for rights of access, and leave the current configuration of the garden as is. I.e fence around where the dotted line is with a door for access, and leave the garden as is. Sounds silly and I probably would not bother doing that as not sure it would be a massive benefit, but I guess that would be feasible if someone really wanted to do that…

I see, so the part between the solid line and dotted line is obligatory to keep clear? Is there anywhere on land registry where it explains this should always be the case? The solid black line just shows a physical boundary that was erected I.e the fence. By law, is it not possible to shift the fence (black solid line) as close to the dotted line as possible but within the red solid line ownership?

True. Perhaps it can be extended to where the bins are themselves though, since they would be able to sit along my adjacent fence (or front of house where most are). I can’t see why that would be refused as the parking and manoeuvring space becomes unaffected. it’s true that once the solicitors get the deeds, we can see if there is any info. If there is not then I don’t see why the above would be a problem.

I appreciate that. Even still if we go by the red line where the dotted line is, there’s still space to extend to it ? I know not a lot but…

Hey, so it wouldn’t be awkward as that space is his by land. We have a space at the front we can park in but also the garage as well. that parking space is clearly his on paper, it’s just the space is spilling onto our land by about a metre and a half. The bins of the neighbour are on the other side of that parking space. Our bins, and number 51 (the side next to us) who was a bit cheeky to put them on our side has put them there. I noticed on Google maps 51 put the bins at the front of their house not the back so can’t see moving them being a problem either. Again, they own the space in front of their garage and I own the space in front of mine (to the left of his) so that’s not an issue either as the space in question only has enough space for 1 and a half cars anyway. what would be the reason planning permission would be refused on claiming 1 and a half metres of land in a dead end back road? ?

I suppose it depends how much from the dotted line I can then fence. You can see that even if I fenced a foot from the dotted line, there would still be more garden space to claim.

Hey guys, ignore my previous post. My mum has calmed down (she gets anxiety attacks) and she’s still wanting the place! What a palava! anyway, of course I don’t want to cause the neighbour any stress. the council has confirmed nothing is marked out on their side. The parking space that the neighbour uses which is in his land is taking up space into my land (as you can see from the screenshots). If I made my fence around my land, there is still enough space for one car and for him to get out comfortably. I think the issue is the pavement itself that is on our land.

Thanks for the advice guys, my mum isn’t happy about the garden being so small so have to cancel the sale. for completion, the neighbour has that parking space and ours would have been at the front of the house really appreciate the advice though and thank you

Thing is it’s only a parking spot for the neighbours car, no other part of the car park. So I can’t see why I can’t make the parking space for him narrower for me to get more garden space.

Hey guys, Just buying a house for my mum, and I’m wondering if someone has come across the same issue before. The garden at the moment is L shaped, and not taking up the whole land indicated on the plot. In fact, it more seems that the neighbours parking space is taking up more than what it should on our land. I asked the neighbour and he said he doesn’t know why and that it’s always been like that. It’s in a little culdesac and the parking space is just one in a dead end surrounded by a couple of garages, one of which we would own and is included in the deeds. question is, would we need planning permission to extend? Here is a picture of the land from land registry for mine and his land, and a Google earth view of how it is.
