boundary dispute - court - results?

If a boundary dispute went to court where would the results go?
Would there be an entry/note on the title/deeds?

Presumably Land Registry would be changed to reflect the outcome?

dick27 · 15/05/2023 09:39

That's what I would expect (I think), but wondered if anyone better informed had a definitive answer

I'm not exactly sure
I'm selling a probate house that did suffer from a boundary dispute back in the 1980/90's when it was new. The other house has been sold twice since.
I didn't declare it on the form as it's not been a problem for over 20 years, the boundary is established now.

Come close to selling a couple of times now, no solicitors brought it up.

It would go to the Land Tribunal I’d expect!

OK, if neighbour claimed that 'something had been proven in court' (relating to boundary), historically, BUT the land registry did not reflect that and the conveyancing solicitor did not find anything relating to that, would you assume neighbour is bullshitting?

OP I'd certainly be asking the neighbour for proof - eg date of judgement, reference to court records. Problem with deeds/land registry plans is they sometimes hinder more than they help because the lines drawn to indicate a boundary are often so thick they could give a few feet away either side.

Neighbour is utterly batshit and not allowed to speak to me. I am trying to unpick all her lies one by one. There are a LOT!

@dick27 Yes. Neighbour is bullshitting. Any resolution in court has proof. Case history etc. Of course most people don’t bother due to cost. If Land Registry looks accurate, and the deeds too, they probably are! No proof of change, equals no change. Is it the neighbour’s property or yours you are bothered about? Can you not ignore the neighbour?

'No proof of change, equals no change'
Is what I suspected and also wanted to hear. Thank you.
It's my property she wangs on about - to anyone who will listen.
I do ignore - her letters, her knocking on my door, her vexatious reports to various 'authorities'. She may be sorry I learned about slander of title just yesterday.
