Tabloids claim that 'neither party can move' because of the boundary dispute

HM Land Registry records affirm there is no uncertainty regarding the boundary or fence ownership.

As there is no boundary dispute, both parties are free to move whenever they wish to.

FACT-CHECKING: Legal Boundary Confirmation and Media Misrepresentation

HM Land Registry has confirmed there is no formal lodgement of a boundary dispute.

As such, the original title deeds, which clearly define the boundary and ownership markers remain the legally binding and recognised property line.

The deed for No. 70 includes a standard T-mark confirming the Myers' ownership of the dividing fence. No. 72’s deed shows precise dimensions on all four sides of Rosa and Murray Bell’s property.

HM Land Registry records leave no ambiguity and affirm that there is no boundary dispute.

Media Claims and Public Misrepresentation

Several tabloids characterised the title deeds as “inconclusive” and “crude” , despite legal documentation and survey evidence showing clear and consistent boundary definition.

Misleading headlines further claimed that no effort had been made to resolve the matter amicably, ignoring over five years of documented mediation attempts.

Having been found ineligible for adverse possession, Rosa and Murray Bell have no legal entitlement to alter or relocate the Myers’ fence from its lawful position at the paper title boundary.

Rosa and Murray Bell’s title deed does not show a T-mark on the dividing boundary. This is shown on the No. 70 (Myers) title deed, confirming ownership of the dividing fence is with the Myers.

Despite the Myers’ consistent willingness to resolve the matter respectfully and lawfully, their mediation requests were ignored, rejected or not engaged with by Rosa and Murray Bell.

Tabloids claimed the Myers made no attempt to "resolve the dispute amicably".
Here’s the documented truth.

Contrary to false tabloid claims, the Myers sought to mediate as early as November 2020.

The Myers’ documented efforts to resolve the matter through mediation span five years and multiple legal firms, clearly misrepresenting facts that they ‘made no attempt to resolve the dispute amicably.’

Solicitor Engagement Timeline

Rosa and Murray Bell’s Legal Pursuit of Adverse Possession
Despite the tabloids claiming they had “no legal support,” Rosa and Murray Bell retained multiple solicitors in their attempt to claim adverse possession.

The following is a documented list of solicitors retained by Palmira Rosa Bell and Murray Graeme Bell between 2021 and 2025, in connection with their boundary dispute and adverse possession claim against the Myers (No. 70).

These legal engagements contradict their public statements and tabloid claims of being unrepresented.

Rosa and Murray Bell may also have approached other companies to review their boundary documents.

To date, Rosa and Murray Bell’s attempts to amend their paper title boundary have been unsuccessful due to being ineligible for adverse possession.
