I did start a thread about three weeks ago re. my neighbour at the back lifting her fence panels and helping herself to our garden. Trimming back our trees and shouting and screaming at us while standing in our garden.
We decided we were going to erect a fence in our garden, inside of her open trellis fence as we wanted privacy and to obviously prevent her accessing our land. The fence is half up, contractor gone home for the day, and she has appeared on the doorstep shouting and bawling. She is claiming the fence is on her land and she has the legal right to take it down. We looked at the deeds before the fence was erected and could see that her fence was off the boundary line into our garden. So actually should be about 3 inches more into her garden, so she is clearly not right and DP is going to have to go round there later with the deeds. BUT it has made me 🙄 that this could easily spiral into solicitors and court cases and I'm very keen to not go down that road. I have s feeling she is going to get someone to remove the fence and thus cause us to have to sue her. Whereas I feel calmer if she instructs solicitors to get us to remove the fence as we can then represent ourselves in court and hopefully avoid thousands of pounds of costs.
Grrr I hate this shit and I see it all the time on TV and think these people are idiots.
