Summary
Q. I have owned a house for 53 years and have always maintained the front garden, even though I have been aware that two-thirds of it is owned by a property company. Ten years ago they offered me the land for pounds 2,000 but I didn't reply. If I sold the house, would the property company be able to force the purchaser to buy the land from them? There is no alternative use for it.
A. It sounds as though the property company agrees with you that the land can't be used for anything else. That being the case you could (I suggest you do this via a solicitor) make them a low offer for it. Sorting it out is likely to enhance the value of your house. The property company couldn't force anyone to buy the land though.See the full content of this document
