I currently have a shared driveway between my semi-detached property, that originally led to a separate garage in the back gardens. I have lived here for over 13 years, and before i bought the house, the garages were knocked down and a 6ft wall was built on the shared drive way with separate gates for private access to our back gardens at the back of the driveway between the 2 semi's. We currently both park a car each up the shared drive, but this is just not convenient any more, as one car has to be blocked in.
The question i have is, can i look to get a garage built again in the garden, and have this dividing wall taken down, obviously discussing this first with the neighbour. This would result in the neighbour no longer being able to park on the shared driveway, which was something that was agreed with the previous owner of the property, i just accepted at the time, but have come to regret.
The deeds clearly show the shared drive area, is there any legal standing, that now as the wall has been up for so long,does this part of the shared drive is now his, or legally should there be anything stopping me doing this?
If this is a no go, then the only option left would be looking to sell up and move on.
