Neighbours piket fence on my land

tikdoff

Hi Folks,

bought a house over year ago with a decent garden to the rear. I want to build a wall for privacy because at the moment there is a 4ft piket fence with concrete post every 5ft. its there 9years im told. its completely inadequate and outdated by about 60years. I offered to build the wall in its place at no cost to my neaighbours because they are OAPs. He told me to leave it there. I noticed it kicked in a little bit towards my shed but when i was fobbed off I got the land registry and it shows the fence is completely on my land(and more) without a shadow of a doubt.
Does anyone know if i can remove this fence. the same goes for some hedging which I would also like to replace.
Your veiws would be very much appreciated.
regards

Sounds like legal issue to me... contact your solicitor.

I say build your wall, I doubt these pair will complain anyway.

And also, if its on your land, I'm sure you can just build the wall, as long as you don't build it too high.

This really is a legal issue, contact your solicitor, who is likely to ask you to get an engineer to measure up the site and establish whether the boundry is correct or not and take matters from there.

You will not get any more specific advice here so I am locking this now.
