Title plan is what you want: http://landregistrydocuments.co.uk/title-plans/ It has gone up from when I used this last, which used to be £10, now £14.95. The plan should show the boundary, as you only have yourself and the highway involved should be fairly straight forward. Looking at your photos if your boundary is in line with your building you are in trouble, if your boundary is in line with the road then you may be ok. But I think you knew that already!

Sorry

Have Title Plan and the boundary goes to edge of tarmac - no restrictions or covenants.

Good result

Why go looking for trouble? The walls' built now so if there's anything wrong with that, let someone else spend time and money telling you why. Only then should you start looking into it.

Well actually they are not because it is what is known as a Party Fence/wall and either owner has certain rights to it, which happen to benefit both parties.

Burn it down and call it divine intervention, let the god botherers work that one out

I agree with you on the fence post theory, that seems to apply round these parts, however, our fence on one side of the garden, adjoining a neighbour, is wholly his fence. He moved the whole lot onto his land by about 6 inches, concrete posts and all, this was before we moved there. The nett result is he claims it to be his fence, fine by me, he paints and repairs it and it has made my patio area 6 inch wider

Common sense, no that is a different matter! Legoman, save your money before approaching a solicitor. If you refer to the Part Wall ect. Act s.1(1)(a)&(b) this regulates proposals to construct walls(fences) either on or astride the legal boundary between owners, line of junction, where there exists at present no wall at all, or only a boundary wall wholly on one owner's land and belonging solely to that owner. If you want to build on the line of junction you need to follow the rules set out in the said act. There is nothing stopping you from building inside the line of junction providing you don't contravene any planning law and the footings to walls or posts do not encroach on this line of junction.

Hi Legoman, sorry hadn't realised you were in Scotland. I have no knowledge of the law there so are unable to assist, unfortunately. It sounds as if relationships are breaking down, I always advise on maintaing relationships wherever possible to reduce the financial burden, I hope you can resolve this through verbal dialogue.
