Feb 16, 2017 at 11:06 | comment | added | Martin Bonner supports Monica | The rules for adverse possession have changed a lot "recently". Assuming the property is registered, the owner of record can resist an attempt to claim adverse possession - and that would be the point to start evicting the neighbour from the garage. | |

But if the tenant is resolved to gain possession and you are resolved to prevent them, this will end in a court hearing eventually; that is what solicitors are for. | |
