My point is more about making sure that they asdked the right questions. The Enquiries and the Reply to Enquiries are important oin deciding whther you may have been misled by the seller or whether your solicitor was good enough!

Dear Mrs neighbour

Re. Trespass to my property

I am writing to complain about your persistent trespass to my property and to request that you desist from further trespasses.

I have already informed you verbally on numerous occasions that this land belongs to me, as noted on ‘The Land Registry’ and I have asked you not to park there. It seems you choose to ignore this polite request.

What is required of you

I require you to immediately cease and desist from further trespass to my property. If you continue to trespass I may take action in the County Court to obtain a Prohibitive Injunction forbidding you from trespassing on my property. You will be required to pay the costs of this action, and if you breach the terms of the injunction you will be guilty of the criminal offence of Contempt of Court.

If for any reason you think you have a right to the above land, then please inform your solicitor to get in touch with Micky mouse solicitors, Workington with any relevant information.
I wouldnt include the last paragraph from If for any reason to relevant information

Why highlight any slight inclination SHE COULD have some claim ?
Why even suggest it. If she has she will go to a solicitor anyway

If you get my point

On the other side of that argument the lady has made changing claims on rights / ownership of the land and if she does have anything in concrete she has been asked to put it forward. Covers all bases.

Think she is a chancer

Something tells Me that your son is going to have to do things exactly to the letter of the Law in future living in that house!

It's quite amazing how many complaints can be made by a pissed off neighbour! - Noise complaints, planning permission complaints, harassment complaints etc., etc.

(I'm not saying you're son's in the wrong BTW, I'm just saying that he may not enjoy living in his new property with a vindictive neighbour next door!)

Well gentlemen and ladies, PH does it again woohoowoohoowoohoowoohoo

The letter was handed to her with a polite comment of "all the talking seems to have gotten us nowhere so here is my first official request. Thank you"

Son gave her it at 6.45 and her car was moved at 6.50. Hope this an end to it but we'll see as time goes on...

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions TT

Buy a metallic red Micra for your daughter in law and park it in the newly freed-up space.

I suspect as is usual with Pistonheads, annoyingly, we'll never hear what the final outcome was! (let's hope not though!)

Interesting thread, hope the op updates us soon please.

Has anybody suggested selling the parking space to the neighbor? Might be attractive to both sides.

She's moved her car, but that's not necessarily an end to it.

She may just start parking (quite legally!), across the part of the space where there is no dropped kerb!

If I wanted to be an awkward so and so then that's what I'd do! wink

Agreed.

Usually words like 'still' indicate you are asking if anything has changed, between what it was last time and now.

Sorry I didn't update this thread but didn't feel the need to as nothing changed from my last post. Mrs neighbour stopped parking there on the day of receiving the letter. She does park on the road right next to the dropped curb though, sometimes making it slightly difficult to get in and out but not impossible. I think she must get out and readjust her position because she gets it right every time to the inch.
She also didn't acknowledge them at all for months while out in the garden, no polite good morning or anything, just turned around and walked back into her house.
She has only recently began to respond with a smile but no verbal answers yet, what a mega sulk

smash Not good enough. What kind of ending to a thread is that? Tell him to smack her one or something.
