FAQ’s

Who is responsible for my boundary fence/wall?

In the event that the property is in private ownership, you may wish to check your own property deeds or take advice from a solicitor.

Do you have any garages available to rent?

The Council only deals with the rental of Council owned land for garage purposes.  This entails the Council renting land to individuals, who in turn construct a garage on the land.

Should you be looking for an existing block type garage, you are advised to contact Trivallis, who acquired the Council’s garage stock in 2007.  They may be contacted on either of these telephone numbers - 0300 003 0888 or 0845 301 4141.

Does the Council know who owns all of the land within the borough of RCTCBC?

No.  The Council can only provide ownership information on land that is owned by the Council.  For information of land and property ownership of non-Council owned land please contact HM Land Registry
