Transferring part of garden to next door neighbour

[Tearingmyhairoff]

Hi wondering if anyone can share their experiences of this. I started another thread about a boundary issue which has thrown up during our sale.

there is a triangle which is about 3 m long and 1m at the widest point, which is fenced into our garden. However the title deeds show this bit of land as coming under the ownership of Nextdoor. Next door agree it’s ours and so we now need to work out how to get it fixed,

it looks like we need a transfer in part but wondering how long this will take/how complicated it might be. Next door will need consent from his mortgage company, but given how small it is in relation to the rest of his garden it shouldn’t be a problem hopefully. But does this take a long time?

Then I think we both need solicitors to do the legal documents and given it’s for our sale, hopefully the Land Reg can expedite? I was hoping our solicitor would do both but she doesn’t seem keen…

Sorry I don’t have answers but bumping for you as I too would be keen to know how long this takes. We’re in the same position with a house we’re purchasing. Our solicitor has said expect 2 months to exchange from when they apply to land registry, sellers solicitor hoped for 10 working days! We’ve been ready to exchange since sept (sellers solicitor tried multiple ways to argue with land registry before approaching neighbour!)

We had thus problem, thr land registry redid the deeds, we used a property lawyer, next door needed a property lawyer, the land registry uses their lawyer, and the lawyers from all mortgage companies need to be involved too. First lawyer draws it up, everyone else then needs to review and agree.

once they all agree the land registry redraws. Ours took about 3 months, but that’s simply as when they redrew it, they got it wrong and had to do it again.
