Hi Chloe! How can I help you with your legal issue today?
X owns Brockwurst property and neighbouring Brockwurst is Fiddlestick. X has spoken to the owner of Fiddlestick and has been informed that they laid out the market garden in that position when they purchased Fiddlestick 12 years ago. X was not informed of this activity or of any consent. Moreover, X feels that the owners of Fiddlestick are mistaken as to their dates, as the previous owner of Fiddlestick died 8 years ago. Nevertheless, the current owner of Fiddlestick has resisted changing the position of the market gardens and considers the matter closed. Can you advise on this? I don't need any advice on what steps the owner of Fiddlestick might take here, simply our client’, X's position and any immediate next steps she should make.
