'To have all your life savings taken away like that, when you knew you were right in the first place.'
Graham and Katherine say they’ve spent £45,000 on legal fees A retired couple have say they’ve spent their life savings in a bitter legal row with their former neighbour over a fence on their shared driveway. Graham and Katherine Bateson said they have spent £45k on lawyers since their late neighbour Wendy Leedham placed a fence alongside their bungalow.
The hearing ruled a new deed should be drawn up showing the boundary between the two properties aligned with the fence, meaning it could stay. Wendy Leedham did not live to see the outcome. She passed away months before the hearing in May 2021, at the age of 74. The families had to get lawyers involved after the dispute escalated Ms Leedham’s three-bed former home is now on the market for £375,000 with agents Sowerbys.
