Green cabinet on property land

[MarcinST]

Hi, I'm in the process of buying a house and there is a VM cabinet on the property's land. As far as I know, the previous owners of the house never gave permission for the installation. Please can someone advise what I need to do to move this cabinet to another location on public land?

Not a lawyer but if the people who own that house have been happy with their wall in that position for 20 years and happy to let the council cut the grass then I'd be amazed if that wasn't in practise your new boundary.

thank you for your answer, but the VM is not owned by the council and in my opinion they should not install the cabinet on private land even if they did they should move it if owner of land ask them to do so. As for the grass, I don't know who cut it - the owner, a caretaker or maybe the council

I wonder how much that small green cabinet added to the price of the house when the estate agent wrote Gigabit internet & CATV are available at this property.

As of 2024, the latest surveys seem to indicate £3,500 as average increase to a property value with fast broadband (above 30mbps).

I respect your opinion on this, but you will not get any action on here, or anywhere else for that matter without spending a great deal of money on lawyers.

Unless the seller has included that bit of land in the sale and provided evidence of ownership, you will have to accept that the property ends with the wall.

you're right about that i need bag of money for lawyers and VM knows about it so they take advantage and to do whatever they want. I just checked the Land Registry documents which say that everything in the red field belongs to the property. The front garden also has no fence and belongs to this property according to this plan. Is there any other way to check this then land registry?

hotspot from my  EE  mobile phone give me twice faster speed then VM at this property 🙂

The land registry usually says that their maps are not definitive, and refers you to other documents like deeds. You will have to research what old documents may be available. But there is a modern equivalent to 'squatters rights' so if the cabinet has been there for years...

Is the current owner on a low speed package? If not they have a fault that needs sorting.

I think the likely explanation is that someone drew the red line in the wrong place, the T markers are on the wall and wouldn't be there if it wasn't the boundary because it's obvious who needs to maintain a wall that is entirely on your own land.
