I live in a GF flat, I have an upstairs neighbour and there's the same set up next door with the rest being houses. There's a piece of land that belongs to say 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b. The neighbours to the right (let's say they're 1) and one but the next on the left (let's say they're 4) have form for not only using the land as an access via a path that runs along behind the land and coming in (there's no fence because it's used by all at 2 & 3 as parking) but also parking there. And even dumping cars there. Both properties have gates in to access our land when they legally don't have a right according to the deeds and both have their own garages and own fenced off gardens.
We have a young child, haven't lived here long and don't want the hassle of getting into it but have expressed displeasure at the fact that there are cars in the way when I come home. Last time DH knocked on 1 they told him that the car parked wasn't anything to do with them when a week or so later it moved over nearer to their fence and was working on it but all has been quiet with no new cars appearing until yesterday.
Suddenly, DH comes home today and he's furious, the neighbours at 1 are putting in a sliding fence perhaps to use the land as access to get cars in, perhaps to just open up their garden as sees fit but we don't know. They have done it all in a days work (it now appears over the weekend they had been concreting to allow the posts to go in for it) and it's nearly done.
Whilst we say the hello, how are you and other pleasantries, we think there is potential for it to get nasty. DH is worked up and moaning about how rude it is whilst not wanting to talk to them about it. I agree with DH that it's bloody rude but I'm not combusting yet - I guess I'm holding my breath for what they're up to next!
AIBU in thinking neighbours are CFs of the highest order?
