Hi all
I am building an extension in my Victorian semi.
As part of the works, I am having the roof retiled all along, up to where my neighbours slates start.
Next door have done a similar thing 10 years ago, but I wasn't here then. Their slates have been layed with an obvious line at the property boundaries.
My question is, do I have to have to have her permission to erect scaffold etc and reroof my part? I am asking because she is not the most reasonable woman at all and I have a feeling if I ask her, she will refuse.
Obviously out of courteousy, I am going to give her notice before the work begins and I will make sure that her part of the roof is not touched. I just wanted to put the feelers out about it.
I don't know if there is any legal comeback from her side if I go ahead.
I would appreciate your input as part of the DIY fraternity, rather than paying a solicitor 50 quid an hour to tell me.
Thanks
Chris
