Property Boundary Rectification Dispute Success

Our client suffered encroachment into an agricultural field by the owners of the neighbouring residential property by way of an extension of their garden and garage.  A detailed survey of the property was carried out to compare current boundaries against historical boundaries established from Ordinance Survey Photographs.  Thereafter Land Registry boundaries were superimposed to established the level of encroachment.  Court proceedings were issued and the matter was determined by the Judge to give the relief sought by our client by way of an Order for the rectification of boundaries in the Land Registry together with damages and legal costs.  The Defendant’s Counterclaim was duly dismissed. The Defendants are compelled by Court Order to physically rectify the correct boundaries of the property within the appropriate period of time at their own cost.
