sigh - can i unsubscribe from this thread before this bs chat continues?

It only ever goes one way when "you know who" gets involved.

I wonder what his problem actually is??

LOL I'm not the one posting about causing trouble with my neighbour by sticking up a frankly awful gate to the side of my estate house.

I would draw your attention to this line you posted -

Comments appreciated btw!

I commented, not my fault if its not what you wanted to hear. :evil:

If they are selling next door, to be honest its the ideal time to do it as the potential new neighbours will then view it as its going to be going forward. So no potential for a dispute with the new neighbours

Op , if I were you I'd have a discussion with your neighbour and point the above out , also point out that any neighbour disputes have to be made known legally when selling the house and it's in their best interests to sort it out amicably otherwise it could come back to haunt them in the future . Keep it friendly if poss , although due to the divorce this may prove difficult , maybe try and work it so your helping her sell without causing future problems , although I'm guessing she's made her mind up otherwise .

That brings me to the reason for the divorce

Not guilty, honestly - Although I would....

I have no problem with the comments, it's the sarcastic and egotistical manner in which they are made, but as I said - I expected nothing less from you. Oh, and I asked for comments relating to the possible dispute and not on whether or not you liked the gates. I've seen your car, and TBH...

I've joined this party late and only have this brief snippet to add, having had parking disputes recently with a neighbour. Even with the police explaining a parking space didn't belong to him, he still was adamant it did.

As some of my mates call me 'Blue Sky Tony' for my creative ideas...how about covering the gates with fake bushes/ivy so that it hides the fact that they're so-called gates?

 

[DPG]

Nice house and drive (and garage)

Jesus wept, we have massively different ideas on what constitutes a nice house!

Snobby fucker

Good idea, BUT - How would the 1,000v from the "cattle restraint system" then make contact with your fingers??

It will still cover the neighbours window though, I think most people would be unhappy with that
Could you reposition the gates nearer your garage? You would still get your privacy and the neighbour won't be pissed off-win win

One thing worth considering is that if your neighbour has been using that piece of land as their for 10 years (which should be coming up soon if you moved in in 2007) I beileve they can legally apply for possession of it.

No, they have not been using it as their own, they just assumed it was theirs, there is a difference, and they can never apply for possession of it, simply because, it ain't theirs.

No, not without losing space "behind" the gates, which I wish to maximise so my youngest 3 sons can use their scooter etc in safety.
And, if you look, they have another window further along too..

Mike

Legally they can, it's called adverse possession.

What is Adverse Possession?

Adverse Possession means someone occupying land belonging to someone else, without permission. If someone does this continuously for a number of years (normally 10 or 12 years) then, in certain circumstances, the land may become theirs.

They can't - They don't occupy the land. They planted some bushes on it 7yrs ago. Adverse possession ONLY applies to "unregistered" or unowned land. And I'm sure that my mortgage company would have something to say about it, as after all, they actually still own ALL of the plot, well for about the next 4yrs anyway.
