Claimin Property

[cemetary]

Just asking a question here if any body can shed some light it would be much appreciated. .

 

When we bought the house in 1989, there was a spare bit garden what was left alone, then the guy over the back took the garden on to tidy it up.

 

Now we are looking at maybe moving on from here, what's the chances of this belonging to us, I have been told by the old timers in the street that have been here from day one, who that the garden belongs to us

 

 

Will it cost me money to find out if it is ours or not.

If you own your own house ( outright )

Take a look at your Deeds,if not get your Solicitor to have a look!

We had the same problem with our last house regarding some land,that was Not included on our deeds

We had to apply to the LAND REGISTRY,that did cost us for a search, can't remember the price

But it was soon sorted out by them,and our solicitor had the document from them to prove it Was ours

From way back when.

 

 

Hope you get it Sorted

I would have thought it Should tell you in your deeds if the said ground is included as a part of your property ?

if you can find an old grid map like the one they used to pin point pigeon lofts it will show you on there or go on national grid website and you should find a map of your street and each property is lined off

Ghostrider,s post is good . your problem will be if he challenges you Cem .as regards a grid map , they are not accurate enough when it comes to boundary fences . a land registry report used to cost £100 . has he maintained the land for over 7 years ? ie cut the grass or grown vegetables kept hens upon it and fenced it off ? if so , you may have a fight on your hands . any dispute between neighbors must be declared when selling your property too.
