Work through this and any queries phone or email them. Looks possible as long as neither party are giving away or selling land to the other.

Hi all,

If you want to change the boundary on a property slightly by a metre down a small strip and you have the
consent of both parties involved (i.e., both houses), is it simply a question of submitting an application to the Land
Registry (LR) and it's job done? At what point does the council get involved, if at any point?

I'm just trying to establish if or when the LR (which is a national body) has to
notify/ask the council (local) of the change.

It all seems so straightforward, but I know that would be far too easy.

Ta for any help,

I think you'd only need to notify the local authority if there was a change of use. If both are residential and the strip is garden, the change doesn't represent a change of use. If the neighbour used their land for some other purpose than garden, lets say it was part of an agricultural holding, you'd need to apply for a change of use for the strip in question form that to residential.
