yeh they havent told me anything like whats gonna happen and what i say and stuff although i have a copy of my statement that was done at his solicitors

[Kelly]

Well you will be asked your side of things and probably be questioned a bit. It wont be proper interrogation though cos its only a boundary issue

i dont know nothing about houses or how they made so on but i do know that everything is on the deeds

ah rite i dont know much either, just when moved in to my current house got a map outling what was ours and what aint lol

you can get border maps & stuff for houses off a goverment webby somewhere think it's the landregistry, even shows who legally has to mantain the fences & stuff if i remember right...

yep http://www.landregistry.gov.uk/ think you have to pay like £5 or something but it's a handy site, even shows you what people paid for their house i believe

When you buy the house in the deeds it will state where boundaries lay.. its when these bounderies become unclear that disputes will take place you will also get a map.. where the boundaries lay. But all original documents will be stored and these things are usually resolved in a reasonable amount of time

we have had this problem where i live. your council hold the boundaries of your property on a database andthe problem occurs because the boundaries can appear quite vague.

You will just be there basically to say that as far as you kno the boundaries have been broken.

I would expect an hour in total. I used to work at my local small claims court, they do alot of BS in between so be prepared lol.
