I’m fed up with neighbours parking on my property – it’s time to get tough and plot my revenge
A WOMAN is fed up with neighbours parking on her property and says it’s time to get tough and plot her revenge.
Mumsnet user @ifherbumwereabungalow uploaded her deeds on the post – with the highlighted red line reflecting the boundaries of her property.
The woman believes that writing them a letter is the best course of action for resolving this issue, but she is unsure of what to say.
She started the post by saying: “Image shows deeds to our house. The red line encompasses our property line, which extends the same width as our drive around the back of the fence at the rear of our property.
“Our neighbour started parking within the area overnight yesterday and tonight.
“We’ve fallen out with another neighbour whose son started parking there regularly, even though we sent a very polite note saying that we didn’t mind occasionally, but could he please ask first?
The woman had a previous argument with another neighbour who parked his van and blocked her driveway.
She explained: “I would like to ask her politely not to use the space without checking with us first but, as stated, we have been burned by doing this before.
“We are very polite, quiet and considerate neighbours, but I feel like this means people think they can walk all over us.
“Can anyone suggest a way of wording a polite but firm note? I know this is a non-event in the wider scheme of things, but it’s winding me up!”
People were quick to comment on the post.
One said: “Can you put a double gate there?”
Another said: “I think you need to do something which indicates it’s your land. From your diagram, I would find it hard to realise that it’s your land.”
A third pointed out: “I can’t visualise this. How do they get to that parking space? Do they actually know it’s yours?”
Another driver claimed his neighbour took her parking spot, but she got revenge.
Plus, a homeowner in the same situation had his neighbour’s car towed away.
