Default Re: where do we stand legally

I'm not sure what you have "lost"

If I understand correctly, your neighbour's first floor juts out over your ground floor. I would expect the "jutting out" to continue upwards until the roof line, so that - for the area of overlap - you own the ground floor only and he owns everything above

On that basis, your ground floor "underlap" needs shelter from his "overlap" and his "overlap" needs support from your "underlap"

If that is correct, I am not clear what you need redress for - apart from arranging the rights of shelter and support, of course

Please note that in the last 12 months a number of the major lenders have changed their requirements on Flying Freeholds. No surprise that their appetite for such properties have diminished.

This change should heighten the need to take the actions suggested by JustinN
