    Hi All,

    Can neighbours take away a border between property if they don't replace trees / fences which existed already without building something to replace it.

    im no legal expert but i live in a semi detached house in an estate and i know that we own one of the boundaries(the one to the left if your looking at the front of the house) and can do as we wish with it as long as we do not impeach onto our neighbours property and our neighbour on the other side)the house we are attached to) owns the garden walls between us and can do as they wish with them, within reason as well

    I wouldn't have thought so, but it is a tricky scenario. Party/party walls don't belong to any body and as far as I know, should be replaced if they're knocked down. If it's a tree, maybe it was encroaching on to their property so they had not knock it and just haven't got round to replacing it yet. Why don't you knock in and ask them?
