Civil matter Questions

I need to find out who owns an unoccupied property nearby, but I find it’’s not registered at the Land Registry. I have contacted the local authority to enquire who is responsible for council tax payments, but they say disclosure would be in breach of data protection. Is this correct? Where do I go from here?

I live in a semi-detached house and my neighbour has applied to put a patio on top of her single-storey extension which will overlook our garden. My deeds (and hers presumably) prohibit “anything which may be a nuisance or annoyance to the owners of neighbouring property.” Can I use this to prevent the patio being built?

My aunt is a partner in the family business and has taken full control of financial matters since my father died. As a result we have not received anything from the business for the past two years, although it is still operating and making good profits.    

The guttering on next door’s house has rotted, with the result that rainwater runs down the outside wall where the properties join and damp is coming through into my daughter’s bedroom. The house next door is rented and the landlord has promised to have the necessary work done many times, but I am still waiting.

I sold my late father’s house to a friend of my son’s in 1997. We agreed that he would pay me £34,000 in instalments over six years, with an initial deposit of £7,000 paid at the solicitors, but he never paid the last £12,000. He claims we are all square and won’’t reply to my letters.

I put my house on the market after a court hearing with my ex-wife. She is now applying for it to be put up for sale by auction. Is there anything I can do to stop this? My wife falsely claims all benefits and legal aid and has recently shared in a huge bingo win.

A number of years ago we had a conservatory built at the back of our house. Now our neighbours have planted conifers right up against it. Can we ask them to remove the trees? They’re blocking our light and we’re worried the roots may be damaging the foundations.

Thirty years ago my brother and I were in business together and bought two pieces of land. I built a bungalow on the smaller plot and the plan was for my brother to build on part of the other plot, with us sharing the remainder. I have now suggested we divide up the land as originally intended, but my brother refuses. What’’s my position?
