Boundary Problems again.
|
| |
A neighbour (A) has a boundary at the bottom of their garden with another neighbour (B). I live next to A and have a boundary at the bottom of my garden between me and another neighbour C. A and I are part of a row of properties; B & C are part of another row of properties. When I moved in (30 years ago) my solicitor told me that the boundary... more »

Ex-wife murdered.
|
| |
My ex was much younger than me and liked to go out. When she eventually left and we divorced I was left with our son who has autism. The ex turned to drink and drugs and generally fell in with a crowd of rubbish. I have helped her out a few times but I am 70 and not able to do much. It appears somebody made an anonymous telephone... more »

Hypothetical Mortgage question
|
| |
It's hypothetical now but was a real question a few years ago when I lived in a house that I was buying on a mortgage. After some years I bought outright a strip of land next to the house and extended my house onto the land using some windfall cash. I often wondered what would have happened if I'd defaulted on the mortgage and... more »

School photography - 'monitoring' of cameras
|
| |
My previous post (thanks to all respondents), discussed claimed permission required for photography at school - something I maintain is populist nonsense. The school has clearly gotten out of its depth, and has issued a slip to enter details of the person and type - yes, type, of camera to be used. They add that they will closely 'monitor' cameras during the... more »

Property letting advice needed
|
| |
When my mother died we inherited her house and now rent it out. We openly admit to knowing nothing about property letting and also, not having great business minds, we decided to go through a lettings agency, namely Countrywide Residential Lettings. We're generally happy with them except for one thing that keeps cropping up.... more »

Boundary Dispute - trespassing items
|
| |
I'm a party to a boundary dispute caused by the neighbour digging up a hedge and fence marked on the deeds as being my own and causing other damages to my property on my side of those. It has dragged on aimlessly for many years, more than 6, but at least the actual position of the boundary is becoming... more »

Unintended consequences
|
| |
Since IIRC 2006 it has been illegal to discriminate, directly or indirectly, on the grounds of age, in the recruitment process. Because of changing government policies, and arguably "grade inflation" the proportion of each age cohort with degrees has steadily risen. It appears, from my understanding of the law, that these facts create a... more »

Can a household's private sewerage outlet be legally capped?
|
| |
At last night's meeting of the resident's association on this small estate with its own private sewage treatment plant, one method was discussed for forcing recalcitrant late-payers to pay their annual dues on time by having their sewerage system capped. I was astounded that such a suggestion had even been put forward as a serious point on... more »
