falkirk council garden problem ??
please help! i live in a four in a block house contained by Falkirk (upstairs). normally the occupier in the upstairs house has a backbone garden and the side garden,and the down stairs occupier has a back garden and the front garden! here comes the question, I enjoy lived here for 2 years now and the down stairs occupant looked after the side garden for the past 7 years, Is the side garden still mine or is near a clause in the scottish law stating it is now thiers??? if here is,i don't see this as fair and a downside if i chose to buy this house! thanks for all answers provided! Andy.
Best Answer:
I am in a inventive position to assist, having in fact at one time bought a council house from Falkirk District Council. Does anyone contained by your block, or adjacent houses, own their property? - the council had all the gardens surveyed at one time. And they drew up map showing exactly WHICH part of the garden belonged to WHICH house. Only problem is, they involved the occupants so ( annoyingly) they would say things resembling "we share that path, it is a common access" or " I own that part as far as the clothes pole" etc etc. Or even worse, "I cut that grass for the matured lady upstairs, she doesn't want anything to do with it". Sometimes the occupants of the nearest houses weren't even AT HOME when this was done, so they had no input whatsoever. What it all boils down to is that Falkirk District council will almost indubitably have coloured plot plans showing what part of the garden belongs to each house. You might not approaching what you see though- especially if you want to put up a garage at any time. Hope this helps. Yahoo answers has its uses after all!!
Your ask makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Everyone has get the back garden? You live in a four?
Speak to your Housing Department. the ground relating to respectively house will be in the missives. before you buy a house your lawyer will see the title deeds and you can dciscuss them beside him / her - at a price of course. Good luck to Falkirk in Europe next year!
phone the council and ask them its the lone way you are going to find out
