Yes, RPW.Thanks. Was that an RPW meeting?
One in Welshpool mart next Monday I think, then an NFU meeting about SFS the following Monday.
Best get my pitchfork sharpened...

If this happens and it is disputed what can you do?
Can you for example place a charge on their house which prevents them from selling until it is settled? (might not be correct terminology)
We have a whole row of gardens where they have done this. They have all left the mature damson and big hawthorns and there is a line of them all the way down the row but they are now well inside what they now claim as theirs.
When confronted in a polite manner they did retaliate with threats, aggression etc. I have to keep away as it riles me too much, one even has a sodding greenhouse in what should be our field.
hedges must be stockproof in their own right. I guess the person who wrote that has never kept Torwen or Torddu sheep then!View attachment 1159744View attachment 1159746
Went to a consultation meeting about SFS and the two guys were given a grilling!
hedges must be stockproof in their own right. I guess the person who wrote that has never kept Torwen or Torddu sheep then!
No hedge is going to become stockproof in its own right if there are any sheep involved, unless they are fenced out too.
RPW surely know that, otherwise they wouldn’t have spent decades requiring double fencing after any hedging work.
It’s on my list to question on Monday…
Watch out for a for sale sign going up and write / email to the agent that there is a boundary dispute and you cannot allow the sale to go ahead.
We've had mixed results. One we sold another 1/10 acre same as his neighbours to bring the new boundary in line. Then we sold the entire farm.
The second was a £2m house that disputed we had a water pipe through their land. We soon got agreement that the water pipe was ours after holding the sale up for a week.
If a neighbour wants or needs a second fence then they get an upright post with a side rail on to move a strand of wire away from their boundary.
Good luck, you can't give them an inch.
My experience is that 'they' don't declare any such issue, in more than one example .My understanding is you have to declare if there are any boundary disputes when selling. Could make it hard to sell or devalue the property.
I imagine they don't. But an email/recorded delivery letter to the seller and the agents explaing there is a boundary issue should donthe job.My experience is that 'they' don't declare any such issue, in more than one example .
as in post 48 about the '95 % of people.' same in our experience.
Just cut your side and the top, who cares what your neighbour doesOur boundary hedge in our garden (owned by us) is next to the farmers field. He refuses to cut the hedge on his field side (which was always cut in the past) and won’t let anyone into his field to cut it. We cannot reach the far side at the top as it’s too wide. Can he legally stop someone coming in to his field to cut it?
They can't reach all the top from their side. Maybe read the post again...Just cut your side and the top, who cares what your neighbour does
Not always, we had a despite when neighbouring property was sold, particulars claimed there was a right of way down our lane, informed seller (who knew) and agent via email. They didn’t alter particulars but just informed purchaser ( after agreeing to buy) and made him sign a disclaimer acknowledging no right of way. Bit of a shitty trick by the sellers and agents ( but I would expect any better from land agents)I imagine they don't. But an email/recorded delivery letter to the seller and the agents explaing there is a boundary issue should donthe job.
It's a garden hedge, of course they can.They can't reach all the top from their side. Maybe read the post again...
So you're saying they're lying?It's a garden hedge, of course they can.
They can stick a photo up and prove me wrong if they want.
We cannot reach the far side at the top as it’s too wide.
Or coppice to get back to a starting point to lay in future.If it's entirely your hedge, and you've access from just your side, you could consider having someone come lay it. You might think it looks a tad brutal for a year or two but would do a job
This happened to me when someone had built a patio over the ditch up to the stock fence! Could get no sense from the homeowner. When house went up for sale, I had a solicitor write to the home owner, copied to the estate agent disputing their ownership, resulting in any sale being blocked.If this happens and it is disputed what can you do?
Can you for example place a charge on their house which prevents them from selling until it is settled? (might not be correct terminology)

No, they just don't have the right tools.So you're saying they're lying?
