I have a shared drive, what are my rights?

Your deeds will need checking to ensure that proper rights were granted to you over the part of the drive with the ownership of your neighbour.

My neighbour will not allow me onto his land to repair my wall / fence. What can I do?

Your title deeds may give you a specific right to do this. Otherwise the Party Wall Act 1996 and/or the Access to Neighbouring Land Act 2000 can in certain circumstances offer the property owner a solution to the problem.

My neighbours hedge is overgrown, can I cut it down?

As far as it overhangs your land you can trim the hedge to prevent this. However you must pass the trimmings to your neighbour, unless he has agreed otherwise, as they are his property.

My neighbours are noisy, what can I do?

You should first speak to them and ask them to be quieter. If they continue to be noisy they may be causing a nuisance. The local authority may be able to help with noise abatement.
