Neighbours and Boundaries

If you are buying, selling, or improving a property, it is important to know exactly where its boundaries lie. Even neighbours who are the best of friends can fall out over barking dogs or territorial disputes, and there's nothing more likely to spoil your enjoyment of where you are living than acrimony across the garden fence.  Avoid bad feeling by being clear about your right and responsibilities from the start, and don't rush into action without taking professional advice.

In this section, you'll find advice and information on neighbour disputes, trespassers and boundary issues you might face when buying or extending your home.
