Some landowners may prefer to speak to a professional. The Royal Institution
of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) operates a Boundary Disputes Hotline (0870 333 1600)
that will put you in touch with a chartered surveyor who specialises in boundary
demarcation and disputes and who will be prepared to spend half an hour discussing
and advising on your problem free of charge.
Jon Maynard Boundaries Ltd
is a member of the RICS Boundary Disputes Hotline and may be contacted direct on
023 8036 1344.
Some landowners may have reached the stage where they need to instruct either
a professional who is expert in the issues in dispute, or a solicitor, or both.
These people should contact
Jon Maynard Boundaries Ltd.
