Hello,
Our semi detached house built about 30 years ago was lawned by the builders across the front of both properties with no division markers provided, as with most others in the street.
Over the years the original occupants divided the lawns up into their own front gardens, taking the natural line down the center of the two properties.
We have been in ours for 8 years and another good neighbour who had their deeds out as the are preparing an extension etc gave us a copy of their deeds which Clearly shows that our front garden boundary is actually considerably offset to another different line more to a specific point in the pavement , so we do not have our full space, by some margin.
After so long, do we have the right to reclaim that part of the land and if so is their any legal action we have to take ?
