hiya everyone, any suggestions or experience with this would be great x
I have put a deposit on a new build, exchanged and waiting to complete. The two houses either side are now been lived in and there is a tiny fence either side to show front gardens. I noticed a few weeks ago that on my land registry the fence to one side is in a different place and gives me more front garden, on another plan I found the fence shows it in the place it is now.
I informed my solicitor to find out which was correct and the building company got back saying yes they agree to take the current fence down and that we own the land within our land registry border (the one showing more garden) but refuse point blank to move the fence and are just going to leave it "open plan" in case they "upset the neighbours".
Both me and my solicitor feel this is an odd reply and my solicitor has got back to them to ask if the neighbours land registry reflects ours and suggested I go and knock at my neighbours door and ask very politely if they are aware of the situation and if they believe the fence is in the right place or not by there land registry entry.
Question is, do I do this? or just keep going with the builders solicitor to try and see if 1. there land registry shows its mine as well 2. have they been made aware that it is mine. They are taking forever to reply back and been very frosty with us.
Once I move in I am planning to put some sort or tiny fence back up as I would like a flower border round the front garden so I would like it sorted. I'm not bothered to be honest which it should be, it's not a massive difference as long as we sort it out so its correct on both entries, legal and everybody knows where they stand.
Thanks, sorry for ramble so grr this has come up on my plot out of 100 I hate having to rock the boat!!!
