Re: water water
 

i will explain whty i am asking i have a field next to my house that used to belong to my house before i brought it ...i have found out that it seems that the sale of it was illegal,just on a handshake and that i may have been paying the taxes inc water on it for last 10 years,as the tax man dont have it down as being separate from my house .ñ yesterday i followed the hose pipe from the field back to my garden and found it is split out of the water pipe on my land
so its possible that i have also been paying for watering his land for last 10 years as well ....switched it off lets see if he jumps up and down....

I have news for you: Virtually anything is "illegal" here if it's convenient to be illegal for some reason. That's to say that if it's illegal, it actually may just be convienient to claim it's illegal for some reason.

Find out the truth. If it's illegal, then you are probably screwed. If not, then just raise your middle finger every time the subject comes up.

Water is a precious resource. People like to get it for free if they can.

no shortage of water here,and its cheap,but i agree people EVERYWHERE what something for nothing ....there is a cunning plan here. if he has no water and dont report me for cutting it off,he cant grow anything on it.then i need to get an survayor to map the land,a notery to write to the three registered owners on either side of the field,if none of them put a claim in then the government pubish it in the official bulletin ,then i pay the back taxes and its my land....this only works because i have paperwork saying it belonged to the owner before me who sold it off for cash avoiding taxes ...

checked our local farm which is huge and they have a well but all the local small fincas like ours have a supply from the local community none of us have domestic water so we just pay for irrigation grade water plus a local upkeep bill which is worked out on the amount of land which we own. When we bought our place the previous owner had bought part of the neighbors land so we were actually presented with two separate deeds one for our house and its land and one for the piece of land which the neighbor had sold to the previous owners and the castral map clearly showed it as two seperate areas which our solicitor said was due to the original way that the land parcels were sold but that it meant that we could sell of the second piece of land if we wanted.
