Interested in a property, on 1/3 of an acre, originally was on an acre.
Prior to repossession the site was split into 3 and 2 parts were put into the spouse's name, a large portion to the rear (just over 1/3 acre) and a three sided strip which borders the property, the remaining third on which the property sits is now for sale by a receiver.
Could a Local Authority refuse a new entrance on the remaining 'free' wall which fronts the road - when they were the authority who allowed the site and two entrances to be split and made the house accessible only by jumping a 5 foot wall?
How would anyone manage to split a site in this way? Does this raise any questions re how planning would have been granted?
There is also a claim that the septic tank is now on their land and not part of the folio for sale, same for the well. The property is 30 years old - can water and septic tank access be withheld?
