Aluminium facing the tank, IMO. Doesn’t make sense the other way.

The setup is different to what I imagined, having now seen the photo. No actual path is demarcated. Would be interesting to know if I have the boundary line in the right place.

I've drawn where I understand the land boundary is...

I would say you're in your rights to place bollards - or a fence - along that line, from what I can see of you the registry plans.

Congrats!

Advice for completion day: given how much of a nightmare the people in your chain have been... make sure the property you're moving into is vacant possession and make it clear to the vendor's agent and both solicitors that's what you expect. I'd hate for anyone else to go through what we did!

It's difficult to tell from the plan, but there aren't any easements/rights shown. So the path is on one person's land or the other's.

Fence along the boundary. If that doesn't solve it - because the access path is on the neighbour's land - then gubhi doesn't have much of a leg to stand on anyway.

Anecdotally, our shed is on our upstairs neighbour's land, technically, because it's under the outdoor steps from their roof terrace to their part of the shared garden. That strip of land is shown as blue on the deed plans.

I would put a fence up, along the boundary. I'm not even kidding.

@gubhi is it just the car that blocks your access, or have they built a wall/gate?

What a nightmare! Haven't the prospective buyers read the lease? I mean it's a legal document so if it says in there they wouldn't be liable...

I take it the current managing agents are moving on?

Sorry to read this. What on earth is in the sales pack?

Thanks to all who offered thoughts on a compact camera for cycling. I got some backpay at work, and that covered a Panasonic Lumix TZ100, which I am very happy with so far.

Still very funny. No brand names, please. Brill!

You absolutely have to elaborate on this!

Still not my bag, even though - and I agree - the tyres actually look great in this photo.

The wheels are still terrible though. Just hand build some 50mm carbon rims onto DT or CK hubs with Sapim spokes. No funky spoke pattern required.

Disagree.

Oh, totally.

That Colnago... I think the only redeeming feature is the SR EPS.

Tyres too yellow
Frame paint too try-hard
Never liked those wheels
Disc brakes
Incongruous calipers

I mean (https://www.instagram.com/p/CRRLTa0l4Th/) they clearly do know what they're doing...

Oh, it's not threaded. :-)

Came with the frame when I bought it from eBay. Are unbutchered Gios forks a rare thing?

Ha!

And for clarity... you can't. Not as far as Girona, anyway.

They're pretty thoroughly clear-coated on. Might get messy, otherwise I would agree!

I just want to move on now

that's the spirit.

But I have to ask - who stumped up the £1.5k?

@princeperch

When we bought this place (and a share of the freehold), the vendor's solicitor was telling our solicitor that one of the freeholders wanted the Land Registry plans changed to reflect something incredibly minor and insignificant.

We didn't have an issue with it (actually made sense), but in the end the plans weren't changed.

Three days after we moved in, we bumped into the other freeholder and they asked "what was going on with the Land Registry plans? I don't have an issue with any of it, but it seemed a bit of a strange request..."

So yeh, they'd been told that we were asking for the change to the plans.

What I am saying is that you never know what absolute horseshit someone in the chain is being fed by a "kid in a bad suit" (I'll steal that one!) or some weirdo solicitor who has a "10 Rillington Place" vibe about them.

Oh, I felt rubbish on the bike yesterday... could be hayfever.

You’ll regret being so stubborn, and that’s from someone known locally as Stubborn McStubbornface.

That £5k isn’t coming from anywhere - this is all part of home buying “fun”.

You can get a yacht upstream on the Riu Ter, right?
