But the house on the right put up a six foot wooden fence on their side of the concrete and wire original boundary fence. Later the owner on the house on the left removed the ageing concrete and wire boundary fence. And then sold the property. The new owner of the house on the left believed the remaining fence that was not only NOT on his land but about six inches set back onto his neighbours land and was bought, paid for and constructed by his neighbour - actually belonged to him - not his neighbour. And unfortunately the line on the map was in thick ink and equated to about 18 inches “on the ground”. So little help there. It was sorted by old photographs showing the original fence and the construction of the secondary wooden one well within one side of the border. This could have been world war three. It wasn’t because both sides were open minded and honest and actually talked to each other! |

Boundary defined on the Deeds or Land registry docs. It can vary and it also it is not defined by which way the boards are fixed, "your" side or "theirs".

I have seen felt tip used where the width of the line on the map equates to a couple of feet or third of a metre on the ground. Totally useless in a boundary dispute. |

My parents house didn't go onto the Land Registery until they had passed away, some 40 years after they moved there. The only lines were next doors, which had recently been sold,that went thought half the back of the house. Fortunately the neighbours were OK about rectifying it to both parties satisfaction.
