My Neighbour Is Claiming Squatters Rights After 40 Years On An Extension Built By Her Father.?
Her father built the extention unto a piece of land owned by my father, there is no legal binding, but I presume that my father gave permission.[both are now dead] The land is currently farming land with out houses , sheds and the remains of the old house. I now wish to built myself, the daughter is objecting on behalf of her brothers[she doesn't live in the house] and is applying for squatters rights. The land is in my name, however I have no plans to distrupt the extension but have great objection to her claiming squatters rights on my current strip of land which is approx 30/40 metres square. This would greatly impact on my development and the rest of the site. I would gladly sign over the piece of land that the extension sits on as I believe this was a gentlemans agreement at the time between our 2 parents. The site is in current use [farming] including the narrow strip of land
.I would prefer to settle this without going down the legal route.
I would be grateful for comments.
