Whose is the space in between the garages? Could you not build all the way up to your neighbours' garage and have some kind of party wall agreement? Or does the fact that it used to be access, even if it's not any more, mean that's too risky?

Or is the boundary somewhere between the garages, in the rubble? Probably worth looking at the deeds.

I’ll need to look at the deeds.
Before the neighbours garage was there, it was a path and I’d guess a sort of driveway for them.I would have thought the boundary line for my property would lie somewhere proud of my garage wall. It’s how far proud is the question. If it’s a meter proud then the neighbours garage is partly on my land.
But if it’s more like half a meter then it’s right on the boundary line.

Ah I think that may well be right.
I’m going to ask a solicitor before I do anything drastic.
But even if planning permission wasn’t required and I didn’t want to rebuild, it still doesn’t seem right that you could be left with this predicament.
If I wanted to repair the render and brickwork on the wall facing their garage, it would be practically impossible to do because the gap is so small.
So what would happen if really essential repair work was needed?
It seems the previous owners at the time didn’t have the foresight for any issues.
