A couple in Suffolk face a £160,000 legal bill after losing a 7-year court battle against their 6ft fence fight to millionaire neighbours.
A couple have lost a seven year court battle against their ‘monstrous’ millionaire neighbours in a bid to make them tear down a 6ft-high fence and now have to pay £160,000 damages.
The Hamblings say the fence has wiped £100,000 off the value of their £600,000 house, as well as blocking access from their stables to the field. During the trial of the case, the judge heard that the ‘unfortunate’ neighbours’ squabble started in 2016, about a year after the Hamblings had moved into Garden Cottage.
Following a gruelling seven year court battle, the Hamblings were eventually forced to pay a £160,000 legal bill after losing the case But in June 2017 after a frosty exchange of lawyers’ letters, during which the Hamblings were accused by their neighbours of ‘trespassing’ on the drive, the Wakerlys had contractors put up a 1.8m high close-boarded wooden fence, with concrete posts and gravel boards, along the edge of their drive and down one side of their neighbours’ front garden.
The case reached court initially in 2021 when Judge Karen Walden-Smith at Norwich County Court ruled in favour of the Wakerlys and allowed the fence blocking off Garden Cottage from the track and the field to remain.
