Property with questionable boundary

dotsie123

I'm currently sale agreed on a property, but it seems the seller has cut down trees from a public park which borders the rear garden of the property, to make the garden look bigger, there are no boundary markings, wall or fence etc..

What would the implications of this be if I were to proceed with the sale? I was planning to get a land surveyor in to phisically mark the site and once moved in to construct a fence or wall.

Do the council have any responsibility to construct a wall or fence etc.. where a public park meets a residential property / garden?

Cheers

Good idea to get someone to mark the boundaries yourself. Getting the council to do anything on request is next to impossible. You would be better putting your own fence up

build a fence now, OP, while it's still fairly recent....

give yourself a few extra yards and all, out of the <recently>'treeless' part of the Park

True, the council will neither notice nor car. Might as well have a bigger garden while you own the house. You would probably have to put it back before you sell it though. Or maybe ask Pat Kenny what happens after a few years.
