Hi all
First time poster here.
We have an ongoing dispute with a neighbour, who happens to be a large corporate. Last year they accessed our property and 'hard pruned' one of our hedges without notice or permission. Some of this was exclusively on our property. We went from having a 4m hedge to some stumps.
This then led to concerns over the retaining wall between the two properties which is leaning out. A boundary survey now indicates that they own the wall in entirety. The wall in questions is old and not engineered so would not come close to code.
We've been left with no hedge and no privacy. The corporate now also want to remove a further hedge tree from our property which will make this worse. The tree in question is a good 2m from the end of the wall.
Do they have a right to tell us what we can do on our property? We want to replant a hedge to restore our privacy. We've had a vaguely threatening email suggesting that we are responsible for damage to the wall because of the hedge and a tree that was planted close to it (now removed).
Can anyone suggest a lawyer who specialises in this type of issue? Any help would be much appreciated.
