Flogging the end of my garden to my neighbour

Jul 30, 2012 2 Replies

I'm planning to sell the end 40% of my garden to my next door neighbour.



We want to do it without involving a solicitor as in my experience they do = very little, do it wrong, take a long time about it and charge more than th= ey said to do it!



My reading of the Land Registry website is that we can fill in some forms, = pay them =A340 and it'll be done via a boundary agreement.



Any thoughts on this anyone (the procedure I mean, not whether all solictor= s are as I said!!!)

Do either of you have a mortgage on the property concerned? If so you will need to inform the lender and comply with their requirements. There are a number of potential pitfalls to catch the unwary and by not taking appropriate legal advice you will probably just make work for them in the future.

Don't.

Phone a local solicitor and ask for a fixed price conveyancing offer ........ DIY legal makes some solicitors very rich when it all goes pear shaped.

A Commercial practice should do this very reasonably for you using standard forms - absolutely should be fixed price offer ... so you can compare quotes.
