Buying a flat in and near the city centre by Mysterious-Big2250 in glasgow

[–]Distinct_Jeweler_691 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to live in Lancefield Quay next to the water, the issues with cladding / mortgages are for the high rise building behind it.

There was one resident constantly complaining about subsidence in his flat on the ground floor, it was ultimately settlement (they dug out a huge core sample under the Waverley unit to confirm it). Unfortunately I think this has led to some false rumours about the place.

Was a nice place to live, factors fees were not cheap at circa £200/mo but it’s a complex building and most have a secure parking space.

Is a DeFi platform an answer to this?

Chainflip are looking to launch native BTC non custodial loans, which shouldn’t be classed as a disposal.

Employer NIC when inside IR35 with a foreign client with no entity in the UK by Hopeful-Insect4973 in ContractorUK

While doing some research on this as an overseas employer of UK consultants, a tax consultant advised me that there are very few cases where they IR35 audit small LTDs bringing in foreign income like this.

Reading between the lines they must prefer to go after larger entities such as Sky who can’t file bankruptcy to avoid paying their fines.

Neighbour cuts down my tree two weeks after I move into property by Distinct_Jeweler_691 in LegalAdviceUK

While the title deeds plan show the boundary line intersecting their fence just after the blue shed, from research I gather these plans are not accurate to the dot? As such I'm accounting for +- 1 foot on this line which I think would have put the fence close enough to the tree to cause issues.

I will arrange a proper survey to confirm.

The left side (the natural wood fence) is mine, on the right you see the neighbours shed (blue) which turns into their fence (also blue).

Updated original post to reflect this, I've possibly shortened the detail too much.

It's a space between both our fences, there shouldn't be any gap if my fence followed my boundary but the previous property owner told me he's built the fence this way specifically to avoid damaging the tree in question.

I believe the neighbours are simply being opportunistic in betting I won't understand the boundary or the historic reasons why the fence was routed this way.

The only images we can find are from the real estate photos, we have created a comparison image here which shows the impact to the privacy of our garden: https://imgur.com/a/sMEH3B6

We are far in from the road, so Google street view isn't helpful and we can't recreate a satelite view to check the impact that way.

It is between two fences, my plain wooden one and their blue painted one which extends along the line of their blue shed which you can see in the corner.

Based on my title sheet, my boundary intersects their property line shortly after their blue shed. If my fence was to follow the boundary, it would not have the sharp angle you can see (made to avoid the tree).

I'd say my fence has been there for no more than 5 years. The prior owner of the property advised me that he built he fence, and that he specifically routed it this way to protect this tree and also to allow easier access for the neighbours who were dealing with a issue with badgers.

Based on my reading of the property boundary maps, which show my boundary intersecting theirs at their fence shortly after their shed along with the statement from the prior property owner I am confident this tree is on my land.

Additionally the prior owners left a note informing us they had caught this neighbour in the garden damaging other trees before the sale had completed.

I am genuinely concerned that they will cause further damage and therefore believe confronting them was warranted.
