My neighbour is saying that she owns part of our front garden as it lines up with her house - it's a small rectangular patch and she thinks she owns 2 feet by 1 foot of it (slightly less - I've rounded up).
We live in a 7-year-old house and it just seems daft to me that they would have allocated a fraction of a garden to another house but on checking the deeds it only makes the back garden and house lines clear - these are fenced and we're in a terrace so it's fairly obvious. She says it's in her deeds - is it likely as it's not in ours? Is there a way of finding out for free? I don't care all that much but she's causing problems and has started putting broken bricks on "her" bit of the garden, on top of plants we put in 4 years ago (at which point she didn't mention her ownership).
Any ideas? I'd like to know the facts but don't want to spend money.
