Imagine waking up to find a part of your garden gone! That’s exactly what happened to one unlucky homeowner who discovered their neighbour had claimed three feet of their front garden. To make matters worse, the neighbour not only removed this section but also poured concrete over it, now using it as a personal parking space.
Sharing their ordeal online, the homeowner says their neighbour sliced off part of their oddly-shaped garden without so much as a discussion. Describing the neighbour as ‘lacking emotional intelligence,’ they lament the loss and are now gearing up for what could be a legal battle, having contacted a surveyor to confirm property boundaries.
This situation has caused quite a stir online, with comments flooding in, offering both sympathy and legal advice. Some suggested restoring the land, highlighting similar experiences. Others warned about the neighbour’s possible attempt at adverse possession, urging immediate action. One cheeky commenter even quipped about ‘entitled people’ in their neighbourhood.
A real conversation starter, this story reminds us all of the importance of knowing exactly what property belongs to us. One lesson’s clear from this homeowner’s saga: always, always confirm your boundaries before buying. Now, they’re hoping for a positive resolution and, perhaps, a bit less neighbourhood drama. Wish them luck! 🍀
