Description
When it comes to boundary disputes between neighbours, it can be difficult to determine who is responsible for a fence, hedge, or boundary line. This guide will help you understand who is responsible in the United Kingdom, and provide five steps to investigate the issue.
In the UK, the responsibility for boundary features lies with the owners of the land. This means that, if you are in dispute with your neighbour, the law presumes that the boundary feature is the responsibility of both of you.
This can be a confusing and complicated concept to understand, but it is very important to know before taking any action. Therefore, it’s important to investigate who is responsible for the boundary feature before taking any action.
This guide will help you investigate who is responsible including:
1. Check the title deeds – The title deeds of your property may be able to provide insight into who owns the boundary feature.
2. Speak to your neighbours – It’s always a good idea to speak to your neighbours and see if they can provide any information about who is responsible for the boundary feature.
3. Check local records – Local records such as deeds, maps and aerial photographs may be able to provide insight into who is responsible for the boundary feature.
4. Contact your local authority – Your local authority may be able to provide information about who is responsible for the boundary feature.
5. Contact a solicitor – If all else fails, contacting a solicitor who specialises in boundary disputes can help you determine who is responsible for the boundary feature.
A few court cases including boundary disputes
It is also important to take a look at some examples of boundary dispute cases in the UK.
In the case of Ainsworth v. Wiltshire County Council, the Court of Appeal found that the boundary between two properties was not accurately established by the title deeds, and that the two neighbours could not agree on the boundary line. The court ruled that the boundary line had to be determined by examining the physical features of the property, such as fences and walls.
In the case of Birch v. Beal, the Court of Appeal found that the boundary between two properties was determined by examining the physical features of the property, and that the boundary line was not established by any document or deed. The court ruled that the boundary line had to be determined by examining the physical features of the property, such as fences and walls.
This guide provides you with a comprehensive understanding of who is responsible for boundary features in the UK, and how to investigate who owns the boundary feature.
This guide will save you extensive research, time, money and conflict, as boundary disputes can often lead to costly court proceedings and long-term conflict between neighbours.
