I've been living in my Maisonette for 13 years, when i moved in all 4 flats had a narrow but long section on the grass area outside.
Most had just a basic 1 foot chain fence.
About 9 years ago they lady below me erected a 3 foot fence along the garden which is fine. I then added a shed to the end of my stretch and a few slabs to get to the shed.
2 years ago a got a new neighbour to my right who made me aware that according to the original deeds the grass area is the property of the lower flats only (50/50) and no area for the upper flats.
The strange thing is the lady who lived below has basically reduced her garden size when she put up the fence, she has just moved out and i've gained new neighbours.
Where do i stand as far as the piece of land i've used as a garden for 13 years and has had a new fixed boundary for approx 9 years?
They've not mentioned it yet as it's only been a day or so but do i have any say if they do?
