The Wall (OT)
Has now been mentioned. It didn't go down a bundle.
I was doing some pruning in my garden this morning, when I saw the man of the house peeping round the end of it into my garden, I don't think he knew I was there. I've been waiting for the opportunity to speak to him as he is rarely there and I refuse to deal with his university-age daughter who drew up the ridiculous document she hoped I would sign. I was polite, I said "I'd like to have a word with you about this wall that you have build over the boundary into my garden - I'd like you to have the part that is over the boundary taken down so the wall is only on your land." He tried to say that it wasn't. I invited to him to see the fence further down my garden that shows where the boundary is (when his plot was once as long as mine before he bought it) and that fence has been there for 25 years. Also the fence that was recently put up nearer his house, i.e, in his shortened plot and it does not correspond with that, either. I also pointed out a tree near the boundary that has always been mine which now has it's roots covered with *his* gravel. He started punching numbers into his mobile phone. I said "I want the wall taken down to your boundary very soon" and walked off. Let the battle commence :-) Only two weeks (or so) ago the owner of the longer plot which was sold to build this house (if you see what I mean) had to come here over a dangerous tree, and noticed immediately that they'd built the wall at the bottom of their garden over his boundary too. It's up to him whether he wants to pursue that, but I certainly do! Even if my neighbour has measured out his garden, which he claims, it would still be mine as I have had it for 25+ years, and the law here says if you have had it for more than 12 years it's yours. It might seem ridiculous to fight about mere feet and inches but it matters. I know he is wrong as I have always known where the boundary is and it's not where he thinks it is. How easy to build a wall over the boundary to steal a little bit of land when your neighbour is in hospital. How easy to think when she returns using a zimmer frame she will let him get away with it. Bad luck they are having, isn't it? I'm off my zimmer frame and up for a fight. They cost me loadsa money having a drop kerb put in so I could get my car out so get ready for the wall war. Tweed |

I've been waiting to talk to him. He's built his wall into my garden and now
he knows my objection. He has a few weeks to get it out of my garden or we go the legal route. He cannot win and if I take him to court (which I will if he refuses) he will end up paying my legal costs as well as his.

Tweed I bet he didn't expect you to tackle him about the wall. Nice one! I love your parting line. I too would fight him. Judith I was always going to do it. I just had to wait a while.

If you're on good terms with the other neighbour that has the wall over their property, I'd be tempted to have a word with them about it, too. It might be easier if you go in together, and the wall can be removed in one action rather than two, IYSWIM. Good luck, although I know you won't need it, since the law is squarely on your side with this one. Yowie |
