Selling house and boundary issue


Recommended Posts

I'm looking to sell house to a devloper, a uncompleted project.

 

He noticed from plans the neigbiurs fence is encroaching into my property. Neighbour won't move it or change it. So can house still be sold if boundaries are not correct according to title plans etc...

 

Devloper still wants to buy it but doesn't make clear what he expects me to do. So what are my options, as I don't want this to drag out and get into a dispute etc with neighbours especially if I continue to live there..

Ah boundaries are complicated - read some of the old threads here. The Land Registry plans are not definitive. It could be that your neighbour is right unless you have other evidence. Easiest is to sell with boundaries as is and file more accurate boundaries with the Land Registry this time.

Have you actually checked the plans yourself? Perhaps he's just after a reduction in asking price.

 

I know they aren't definitive but I'd download both title plans and compare with old maps and aerial photos if you can find them.
