Areas of Law / Property

I own a drive that serves my bungalow and the one belonging to my neighbour. My neighbour parks one of his cars on it, and I am happy for him to continue doing so, but there’s a covenant in the title deeds saying he shouldn’t. Should I have something in writing in case he lays claim to the part of the drive he parks on?

Your neighbour won’t be able to lay claim to part of the road, but if he parks his car there for more than 20 years he could end up claiming that he (and anyone who lives in the house in future) has a right to park there. A letter from you giving your neighbour permission to park his car there would prevent him claiming a legal right to do so.

More Questions About Property

Some years ago I bought a flat which some years previously had been converted from a shop into two residential dwellings. The other flat was bought by my neighbour at about the same time. We have just discovered that waste from my bathroom passes through his property via a concealed manhole on the ground floor. Do we have any legal redress against the builder?

My neighbours put up a fence on my property to keep their dogs off my garden. It was easier to put it on my lawn rather than digging up their tarmac drive, but I paid half of the cost. The neighbours are now selling the property and are telling prospective purchasers that it is their fence. Can I remove it without their permission?
