Boundary disputes
Boundary disputes frequently arise where owners of adjoining land cannot agree where they believe the boundary is.
Robert Lunn and Lowth have significant experience in this area.
If you have the misfortune to find yourself in one of these situations there are a number of things always to be remembered:-
1. The other party is likely to be your neighbour. Good relations between neighbours can add much to the quality of life and, if those good relations are lost, much damage to the quality of life.
2. Do not assume the title deeds or Land Registry plans are absolute guarantees of the positions of boundaries. Nearly all legal plans in conveyancing and Land Registry matters are marked “for identification only”. Do not assume that simply by picking up a plan and measuring out the position on the ground success is guaranteed.
3. If a boundary dispute goes to Court a Judge may well be more influenced by what is actually on the ground and what historically has happened in regard to particular boundaries.
4. Boundary disputes can be expensive frustrating and time consuming.
For this reason even more than in other litigation we will strive to help you achieve a sensible and balanced outcome and to keep you fully aware at all stages of the potential merits and risks that may be involved.
