how doi find out where my garden end?

[mustsleep]

we bought our council house 4 years ago

it has a fair sized back garden. the garden ends onto a public footpath type thing that leads to a field

between our garden and the footpath (which is not an actual path more of a trodden in thing) there is a mass of weeds and overgrowth where people have dumped stuff over the years etc

we have just remortgaged and i have been sent a copy of the land registry and on the title plan it shows our property and next doors and pretty much the full street tbh. right the thing that has caught my attention is next doors garden slopes off on a diagonal (which is how it is in reality too) in the drawing it shows our garden in line with hers and continuing the diagonal

our garden is quite a bit further up than hers at the moment and just squared off

if i look out of the upstairs window it looks like the fence has just been shoved infront of the over growth (it is bad)

we are going to replace the back fence and where thinking of moving back to where it should be - can i find out for certain the boudaries of the property without it being expensive?

anyone

Not really sure tbh but why don't you ring the council and speak to someone in planning department and ask if they could have a look at your land registry documents and confirm your boundary?

thanks that sounds like a good idea

have had a look on google earth and it looks like all the properties should follow that line but wouldn;t want to extend the garden out and then get told at a later date that we need to undo it

the title plan shows the current boundary, so you just need to confirm with the land registry that you have the current plan and away you go!

really

that plan is dated 2005 it says so i would have thought if they wanted to make any changed after we had owned it then they would have had to contact us?

excellent can;t wait to tell dh!!
