To expect an apology? It’s a parking one!

We have a second home (sounds posher then it is) which comes with allocated parking. Never really had any issues with parking until a couple weeks ago when we turned up on a rainy Friday night to stay the weekend. Drove into our car park and there’s a car in my space! Never seen it before and no one knew where it had come from. It didn’t move all weekend and left us struggling for somewhere to park so was beginning to get a bit annoyed.

When we came back this weekend the car is still sat in my space and we began to wonder if it had been stolen or something.

My neighbour has there home on the market and as we share the freehold I’d been sent some stuff for the solicitor and I text her to let her know and as an aside said do you know who the car belongs too? I had knocked when it first appeared but no answer.

She said yes it’s ours, we are on holiday and it’s in our space. I said ok thanks for letting me know but it’s actually in mine.

They got home today and text me to say the deeds say it’s their space. I checked my deeds and realised straight away they were looking at the wrong set as we share the freehold and have copies of each other’s deeds. Even though it’s blindingly obvious when you look at either set of deeds who is meant to park where even without the usual outline solicitors do.

So I sent a text with a photo of deeds saying I can see why you got muddled etc I have had no response at all, I wasn’t looking for confrontation or anything like that but at least a text to say sorry about that or something?

@JessicaJonesJacket they had actually gone on holiday and left the new car they had bought in my space, they have only just sold in the last couple weeks so not that far along in the process

Collaborate - FAdedRed beat you to it. See above.

@Collaborate I did think about one of the famous MN bollards 😊

Dear neighbours.
Just checking that you are now satisfied which parking space belongs to which property.
I'm sure you wouldn't have to, by law, report any neighbour disputes to your potential buyers.

@RomanyRoots that’s a fair point I hadn’t thought of! Thankyou!

I'd just leave it and say something again if the car is still there.

Lockable bollard behind their car. Not your fault they chose to park there and then not move when requested 😂

Tara336 · 05/10/2018 12:54

The car has been moved now (as it should be!) but doesn’t look like any apology is coming my way! If it happens again with soon to be ex neighbours or anyone else I’ll have a bollard installed.
