Good Day. I my best Aussie accent.But back to being serious.just wondered as you know I talk about my lovely neighbours and my ongoing issues.The latest is one of them has sent a very aggressive letter demanding that we remove items from a wall that he considers his and that basically we have been accused of stealing their land.We have lived here for nearly 7 years and have never had an issue.This person moved in around 18 months or so ago and has been flexing his muscles.My understanding is that as much as we would like to no one can lay down the law and tell a fellow property owner that they must do something now.
Am I right in thinking there should be a friendly discussion first then mediation if that fails and then they would need to instruct their own lawyer to establish rights.As you can imagine with my Autism OCD and anxiety this has given me a day from hell getting said letter by hand on a Saturday
Look forward to any advice or if anyone else has gone through this
By that neighbor just dropping an aggressive letter like that, I don't think they want to be friendly. I would tell you to gather your land ownership deeds, and contact your lawyer to see what to do next. Keep the neighbor's letter, and keep a record of anytime they contact you.
thanks done all that my view is as they are disputing I am going to wait fro them to approach us via a lawyer as Police have said I think they do not want to spend any money
Could you get somekiind of restraining order on them?
This is the sort of scenario I dread as you have to disclose any disputes with neighbours when selling your house.
Yes we are set to have to disclose when we move .It is a very complex long story the only crumb of hope is the police after criminalising me for 6 months have at last asked my Sister for her side of things and have suggested mediation something I suggested 12 months ago !
