My two neighbours, neigbour A and Neighbour B are having a boundary dispute.
Neighbour A who has lived in his house for 5 years believes that its garden boundary is marked by the 4 meter high stone wall that adjoins the previously disused land recently bought by neighbour B on which to build a house.
Neighbour B has made measurements based on the Land registry map drawn in 2005 (there is no previous LR map) and says the boundary is 1.3 metres away from the wall and has therefore claimed that land.
The previous owners of both pieces of land, the owner of land B before before that (for 70 years+) and all the neighbours who have been asked, some of whom have lived in the village all their lives, confirm that the wall (the retaining wall of a previous building) has always been the boundary.
However, neighbour B is correct that the LR map doesn't show that.
So basically the LR map suggests one thing but all the historical evidence and the position of the wall show the other.
Who is right and how can that be proven?
