Neighbourly disputes, such as boundary, party wall and neighbouring land act disputes in the UK can be intricate and contentious.
ASL Chartered Surveyors provides peace of mind and legal clarity, helping you avoid potential conflicts and ensuring that property boundaries are respected.
Boundary disputes arise when there is a disagreement between two parties regarding the position of a boundary line separating their properties. These disputes can involve fences, walls, hedges, or any physical feature that marks the boundary.
Often, such disagreements occur when one party believes the other has encroached on their land, either by constructing something or by using the land in a way that crosses the perceived boundary.
The first step in resolving a boundary dispute of any kind would be to approach your neighbour about your concerns. Often, an agreement can be reached and resolve the issue without any formal proceedings.
If the above is not possible, you should seek the help of a chartered surveyor.
Our team of RICS Chartered Surveyors here at ASL will work closely with you to establish the position of your boundary, and support you in the proceedings to resolve the dispute.
Our RICS Chartered surveyors use boundary surveys to determine the precise boundaries of a property, identifying property lines and establishing the corners of a plot of land.
This type of survey is typically used to clarify property ownership, resolve disputes with neighbouring property owners, or verify property boundaries before purchasing or developing land.
A boundary survey will include a review of historical land records, legal documents, and performing field measurements. Markers, such as stakes or flags, are often placed at the property’s boundary points for future reference.
The results are typically documented in a detailed map or report that shows the exact dimensions and coordinates of the land.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and the Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992 are UK laws designed to prevent and resolve disputes between neighbouring property owners. Both Acts help resolve disputes and ensure smooth property maintenance and building work between neighbours.
This law deals with work on shared or adjoining walls, boundary walls, and excavations near a neighbour’s property. It requires the owner planning work to notify neighbours and resolve any disputes through appointed surveyors.
This Act allows a property owner to seek legal access to a neighbour’s land for essential repairs or maintenance, such as fixing roofs or gutters, when access is denied.
A chartered surveyor can help with issues relating to the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 by providing expert advice, serving necessary notices, mediating disputes, preparing Party Wall Awards, and assessing damage, if any, to ensure fair compensation. They ensure all procedures are followed legally and minimise conflict between neighbours.
In support with issues related to the Access to Neighbouring Land Act 1992 chartered surveyor can help facilitate access to neighbouring land for repairs or maintenance by serving formal notices, mediating disputes if access is denied, and preparing access agreements to ensure both parties agree to the terms, reducing potential conflicts.
