From the other direction. Makes the triangle clearer. Now, as you can see, our current driveway, runs toward the small window, which as you can see it on the section of house that's flat roof. This indeed ties up with the image on the deeds - the older version of the same deeds is shown...

they purchased it back in 1970s. Lived their ever since. Every image I can see is that their side hasn't ever been changed (not on images anyway) The middle area would appear to be different to their paving which would could point to it matching our original drive. Their driveway is...

I believe our driveway was resurfaced the year before we moved in. The neighbour had the same train of thought as you i.e. if it's ours why wasn't it paved at the same time? Which I can appreciate however being black and white about it, all I can say is who knows. They may have had an agreement...

hmm that's a good shout, whilst it does say on the drawings to not scale them, if it supports other assumptions then it must all be considered. I'll measure the garage tonight and use the 1/3 of the length to see where that sits. Oh it definitely helps their garage access. But then even...

It's not far off. The trouble is, the point where it meets the path isn't really the issue, it's the angle it takes coming toward our house. This angle determines how much of that triangle is ours or theirs. for example, on the image attached, the orange line is pretty much where the...

I believe this section to be ours.

doesn't list it as anything separate. Purely what is on that attached image really. So down to interpretation of that red line (the red line is on the deeds) So it's a case of deciding where that red line applies in real life. Their Deed Plan: Our Deed plan:

Hi all, after a spot of advice. bear with me, let me go to the start. Grab a cuppa, might be a long one. So, wife and I moved into our house December 2017. Once we were in, we thought it a little odd that the neighbour seemed to be using a bit of driveway we thought to be ours. Now, it was...

ah fair enough, thanks for the advice. Well, with that in mind, anyone ever tried to change a roof on one of these sun rooms? it's pretty crap but if we're best doing the extension i'd like to make it useable in the short term - i.e. not leak and not be a roasting box!! Wondered about...

Hi all, so, we've been discussing a large extension but now have decided to put it on hold in favour of lots of other jobs. This being said, we'd quite like to still do "something" with our rear reception room. Currently it's 5m wide and a little under 3m deep. It has numerous doors so it...

Hi all, so, my garage is 9m long x 3m wide. The door is RUBBISH!! but long term we've plans to reorganise the downstairs and as such the garage will be getting widened to 5m which will call for a new door. I like being in the garage, but it's bloody freezing half the time. So I thought it...

Hi all, i'm looking at getting a sheet of foam board to have on the floor to help cutting sheet. I don't have room for a table saw so thought i'd go this route. I've just made a couple of circular saw running guides which have made a huge improvement. Just want to be able to cut on the...

SO, as part of the grand scheme of house stuff. The ancient boiler needs replacing. It's old, inefficient and doesn't produce enough hot water for 1 bath. We have only just replaced the upstairs bathroom - as part of this update the plumber had us change the tank in the loft as it was...

same here, Hallways (including a snazzy, open tread staircase!) Study and this back room, all tongue and groove.... Next door has a tongue and groove wall on rollers so he can open the dining room into the lounge!!! yes will all be stripped out ASAP

Hi all, so, whilst long term we are wanting to extend the rear of our house, funds don't allow for the next few years. This being said, we'd like to make the rooms that exist out there a little more useable - I don't want to go mad as we will be removing it in the next 3/4 years but we're in...

Realistically wants are overtaking need on the bedroom front. We'd be fine with three, but I wouldn't like to reduce the properties value bringing it down to 3 even if it was an easy swap back. 4 would be the ideal finished product really. 5 could indeed become the ensuite - especially as the...

Should make it a bit clearer than my poor paint skills haha. Essentially, the sun room will go. The wall from the Kitchen will continue over to the garage wall and the rest would be largely opened up. So, the shower room would be much larger. The small green room between Dining room and what...

Hi all, so, this year we intend to work with an architect to put together plans to modify our home. as you can see, the drive-side is flat roof. Which will need replacing as part of the project, but to be honest it was due for replacement anyway. The garage wall may well need replacing too...

true, ok perhaps not "insulate" maybe "draught exclude" was more apt

After some advice for my garage. It's cold. bloody cold! not helped by the fact I could put my hand through the gaps around the up and over door!! Now, plans are afoot to: a) in the short term, make a new door that fits the gap. b) in the long term we're extending so it'll be replaced with...
