Neighbours who park in our parking space. And when you ask them very politely to move, refuse because they think it's communal. This woman is so determinedly stupid that even the production of the photocopy of the deeds with the boundaries of our property clearly outlined in red showing that the parking space is ours only met with "our deeds are different". It doesn't matter what your deeds say. They relate to a different piece of land!
Quietly sobbing Riley is going for a little lie down. Later Riley will phone the tame solicitor and get him to write a gentle letter explaining the law of trespass for dummies.
Where is the 'parking space'? is it on the road? if it is...is that a private road?
Check the land registry for conformation of boundaries. Sometimes what's shown
on the owners' deeds aren't what's at the land registry (changes may have been made by or with the consent of the previous owners)
Do what you can to avoid the legal route until you've tried everything else. Boundary issues are, notoriously, protracted, complicated and very expensive... and often treated unsympathetically by judges to both parties.
