There are two points to my query, I will try to be both accurate and to the point. Our property that we purchased 10 years ago is at the end of a private road. We own 80% of the turning point and one side of the road which is outside a house that has just been sold 'subject to contract'. Our other immediate neighbour owns the other side of the road outside their own house. We have had words with the neighbour who is selling when we moved in as they would park on our private bit of road. We use our piece of road to park two of our vehicles, and we bought the house as it had enough parking, indeed it was sold to us as with additional parking for 3 vehicles. The property being sold has no on street parking (Although they could park on the other side of the house on the main street and enter their property from the garden entrance). Outside their garage is a small driveway, of which half is designated as part of the turning point. This is only marked by a tar line down the wall between our garage and theirs as the previous owners refused to allow it to be marked out on the floor. Their bit is obviously the other 20% of the turning bay. Planning permission for our house and our other neighbours house was subject to this turning point when the property being sold 'sold off' our plots of land in 1980. We have a copy of the original plans to prove this. Our concern is two fold. The new owners will have access and egress over our private road - no issue there - however, from what we have seen of them visiting the property they own multiple vehicles including a large work van. The only way they will be able to park these vehicles is if either D a) they block the turning point - and it is already too narrow so there will be no turning at all and involve reversing down the whole street. Or b) they knock down the front wall and turn the garden behind into parking (similar has been done the other end of the street, but that house owns the road in front of their house). If that was the case, our cars would still block access to their front garden - or would they have the right of access and egress across our parking spaces? Currently the parking spaces are not marked with white lines - we intend to rectify that next weekend as I feel we need a visual obvious sign that we park there. We have briefly spoke to them, just to say hello, when they were viewing and they were very 'off' - so the neighbour has obviously told them we have an issue with parking. They also were quite pointedly saying that our cars were not going to be parked outside their house for much longer! Not to us, but loud enough for us to overhear. I did at that point attempt to point out that we are parked on our own property - but the lady walked off very rudely without even replying. I have spoke to the estate agents to ensure they are notified of the turning point but we just got a solicitors letter from the person selling stating that as turning areas are not on land registry they do not have to notify the purchasers. I can see problems and want to be in a position to avert as easily as possible as life is much easier if we get along. I also feel they should be made aware of restrictions before they complete their purchase.
