Not really a DIY question (for me at least), but I'm just looking for a few pointers and this groups seems one of the sanest I've used...
My new neighbour, (3 houses away) a builder/developer is renovating the property but has a problem with the house in-front of it (really an unused shop) - his Electricity and water come through it and the current owner isn't happy about it. (Neither would I be, I guess)
Anyway, neighbour wants to dig up my alleyway to run new water & electricity supplys into his property. He says he'll do it all properly & make sure his lawyer contacts our lawyer to get the right approval, whatever, and he'll make good by laying a new pathway round my house (and round the 2 other houses he has to go by too)
I principle I think this will be OK (we could do with a new pathway!) and I don't doubt his building skills, etc. but I'm just after any info regarding stuff I ought to be aware off, things to ask, etc.
Any hints & advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Gordon
