Me and my partner are in the process of buying a house and we received the land registry title plan. The plan outlines the boundary however the boundary is not inclusive of the front garden. The front garden is attached to the house by a wall and is quite clear looking at the property that it belongs to the house - however this is not reflected on the title plan.
The front garden in question I believe from searching land registry records is not registered separately or under another name so it is essentially ‘no man’s land’.
The sellers and their solicitors have been quite unhelpful on this matter so far and have just stated it’s always been like that since it was built by their parents and it clearly belongs to the house. We don’t dispute it belongs to the house but obviously we have an issue as it’s not reflected on the title plan.
We wondered if we got an affidavit from the seller (child of the deceased’s estate) stating that their parents had use of the land since it was build - would we then be able to apply for the land ourselves after the sale? As it’s looking difficult to get the sellers to action anything directly with land registry.
Any other advice would be appreciated. I have attached the plan in question - that shaded blue is the front garden.
