Sounds well organised. Well done.

Looked at a lot of old places before we bought this plot, almost all had issues with boundaries, access, planning etc. The man we bought off owns all the surrounding land except one small field. He was happy to make the boundaries more "sensible" (at my cost of course!) 

Although to be fair, the same man was clearing land in spring and allowed me to take all the stone, about 200 tons, for free. Most is field stone but there is good cut stone in it too.

There’s no excuse for it with the accuracy of mapping, gps etc these days. I’m constantly amazed at people’s lax attitudes towards it. One of my ideas for making money is offering a combined surveying and property litigation service. I could go round country pubs, stirring up trouble for people stealing field boundaries from each other etc.

100%, we've been surveying a lot of vicarage and rectorys recently and part of my scope is to measure and check the boundaries are correct. Most are but I've had 3 sites where the neighbours claimed the hedge is there's and tried to take a few metres of land. In 1 case the knackered tree turned out to be the churches, just the fence was the wrong side. [emoji23]

Gents, how are you getting this accuracy?  My understanding of such matters is that even Land Registry records often don't allow boundary disputes to be settled; final determination could be down to a court of law.

In the tcv walling handbook it advises bridge over tree roots with a space left  to alow trees to grow. 0r if the trees are  more direct inline with wall infill round trees with rubble that can shift abit without pushing the wall down, or do butt ends &  wooden rails .

In my case there was no "dispute" the same person owns all the land surrounding us except one small field on the other side of the lane, so it was a relatively simple (yet eye wateringly expensive) matter of new and existing owners agreeing to the boundaries through our engineers and solicitors and a new folio number created to reflect the new boundaries, keep in mind I'm in Ireland but the systems are fairly similar.

One of those days where everything just goes right.

If it fits in the chipper it's going in the chipper....
