Boundary Issue

[jonboy1971]

Hi,

My neighbour has stated that the boundary between our two back gardens is in a incorrect place. My neighbour has lived there for 3 years without any issue and has only brought this up since we put our house on the market. They have now told us that it will be very difficult for us to sell our house now because of this which I find very suspicious!
My main point is that my neighbours's father has told me that he is a conveyancer and that he knows that the boundary is in the wrong place. We are working with solicitors to get this resolved. We have since found out out that he is not actually a conveyancer and that he just works in a solicitors office but not as a solicitor either.
Isn't it against the law to state you're a conveyancer and act on it? We haven't anything in black or white as this was only said to us verbally.

Do I have grounds to report him to his employer and the CLC?

Many Thanks For Any Replies,

John

Hi,

This has been ongoing for some months now but ultimately we will have to appoint a boundary surveyor and split the costs. The properties are over 250 years old and we have a proof that the boundaries have changed many times over the years so unfortunately its not just as simple as looking at the title plan and locating the boundary.
My main issue is the fact that my neighbours father, who initially instigated the claim, has stated that he is a conveyancer when he isn't one so can i report him? As I said previously this was only stated verbally and not written down.

Thanks
