A loveMONEY reader is having a boundary dispute relating to a huge oak tree he was originally told wasn't on his property. What should he do?
The loveMONEY community has experts in pretty much every area.
So when we saw this issue from reader @Lone Ranger we thought we'd put it out in the newsletter to see if anyone can offer some much-needed help.
His story goes as follows:
"Hello, I bought a bungalow in December 2018, and at the bottom of my garden is a very large oak tree – 40-foot plus.
I wasn’t too bothered about it as it was the other side of my boundary fence!
However, it has been brought to my attention that the said fence is not my boundary fence its what’s left of an old fence approximately four feet beyond the oak tree, meaning this oak tree is my responsibility.
This was not highlighted in the seller’s pack.
Where do I stand? Any help on this one please and thanks."
