To take down this fence panel?

I own a house (rented out) which is one of three, with a turning area, parking spaces and drying area. The only parts of the outside space which do not belong to me are the parking spaces for the other two houses. The owner of one of the other houses has put up a fence across one section, effectively annexing it to their house. On the deeds it’s called a drying area. It’s overlooked by their back window (sitting room) and my kitchen. I have asked my letting agent to ask him to take the fence panel down. This was several weeks ago. He Wibu to take it down myself?

I've moved now but yes, if the path had fallen into disrepair, then we would have had to pay to re-pave it or whatever. I've lived in another new build house where we all had to pay £20 a year or whatever it was for maintenance.

Owning a small communal space, yes but not all the communal spaces.

Ohnonotuagain so you have heard of it after all. Confused

Honestly why can’t posters just believe what the OP is saying and why the need for a bloody map on every single thread, do the posters shouting diagram have no imagination Hmm

@SavoyCabbage I've never seen it where ALL the communal areas were demised to one property owner, no. But I have seen it where pockets of communal areas are demised to individuals. It's not common.

In my experience (which, of course can differ fron others' experiences), usually there is a management company which all house owners become a part of and they jointly own the communal land. In a lot of cases a managing agent would then be appointed to manage the land on their behalf.

If it's a small development then maybe small areas would be demised to one property but in the context and the way the post I was responding to was written In my experience this is rare given I've not come across it before.... but then I've worked with large developments moreso than small ones. I was merely speaking from my own experience.
