If he does it again,inform him that unless he ceases to block the garage you will have his care towed away and send him the bill and if necessary take him to the small claims court to ensure he pays it,the thought of debt collectors going to his housae might make him realise what a prat he is.**M**

That is good news and I hope the man doesn't come back to block the garage again.
You and your Mum could well do without the hassle. Good Luck with everything else.

Sorry been having a few computer problems.

Thankfully he had moved the car.

I think the owner of the next garage allows him to park across that one.

When you come to sell the property you won't want the car being parked there for prospective viewers to see and not be able to gain access to the garage. It really needs to be sorted out before the house is put on the market.

Checked the deeds of the house and it does belong to my sister

I will update tomorrow as to whether he is still parked there or not.

Thanks everyone,

Maureen

You know me Stella if I think it I say it ;-) ;-)
or maybe just let a tyre down

by law your not allowed to cause an obstruction
and he is obstructing your access to the garage :-D

Arrogance can often be deflated when the pressure is reduced. Same thing for the four wheels of the miscreant's car.

But before all that, a quick word face to face with the neighbour allows him to remove his car before a falling-out occurs - so long as you are 100% sure he has no right to the space. In any case, parking in front of a garage door is not logical.

Good luck!

Be very careful about not being honert when selling about neighbour disputes etc., if you lie and are caught out you count be liable forva very large fine.

I am in a similar position, my garage is one of six, under maisonettes several notices are visible keep clear access required at all times, etc, but people STILL park there, to be fair if they are unloading shopping etc, or I know where to find them, I don't mind, but it IS the thoughtless ones that park and I have to " Go on the Knocker" that annoys me.
I DO own the Garage but as the forecourt is council owned, so is not exactly private property........

>If< you were to puncture a tyre, he wouldn't be able or willing to drive the car out of the way. It's a bit self defeating really :-D

Joy.... my thoughts entirely

i just dare not say it...lol :-D :-D :-D

My thoughts are if the garage goes with the house then the neighbour has no right to park across it, regardless of whether the person to whom it belongs has a car or not!

IF the house was or is to be sold the garage surely would be part of the house sale & new owners are not going to be too happy about not being able to access the garage just because this neighbour has done so previously!
He needs a serious talking to, in my opinion.

Joan.

I would put a tack in his tyres all of them :-D :-D

Whether she got on with them or not, this man is being very arrogant in his behaviour towards you... i'll bet his wife has a lot to put up with..and i can see why he would be a bad neighbour to have..

Problem is that I think my sister did not get on with her neighbours but not sure which ones.

Well whatever you have to do GB when you sell the house and they ask the question re disputes with neighbours, as you didn't live there you could plead ignorance and just say not to your knowledge. The question would be re dispute between your sister and neighbours.

Did that on Saturday Stella after telling him we need access this week when I saw him on Friday.

Just as well Mum is coming with me on Monday as she might help me to keep calm about it.

Mum and I have introduced ourselves to both of them.

There is a limit to the number of times I tell someone what is going on.

Think he is just being difficult. A typical man really.

It must be obvious that we would need access to the garage given the circumstances.


Maureen

Or perhaps a polite notice "Please do not park in front of these doors, access required"

:-)

They are private owned houses with the garages in a block in front of the houses. He is parking across the next garage but the back of the car is blocking the door of my sisters garage, Would not be able to open the door more than a couple of feet without hitting his car and I am not gong to crawl under the door to get in.

He knows we need access to the garage as Mum and I are trying to clear the contents so I should not have to knock on his door. .

Also think it is him that is putting rubbish in the bin.

I had never meet this bloke until my sister died so no real idea if they were okay or not.
