Hi all,
Hoping you guys can give me some advice as I am not sure where else to go.
The house I live in is circa 1820 Victorian semi-detached. Was originally one building, but then split into 3 and sold to different owners, we have the same numbered address: 10, 10a & 10b
I live at 10a and 10b has been empty for a number of years, original owner died.
We are building an extension now and the boundary wall between us and 10b they have a boiler flue coming out directly through the wall. This wall is where we will be putting up our internal walls for the extension. As there is no owner in the property I cannot tell anyone to remove it, nor can I gain access to the property to make it safe. Can't build around it or knock it through.
Have contacted every department I can think of in the council, local MP, police, fire, council tax, no-one can give me the current owner or get me access to the property.
So now we have a structure built but cannot put up the wall until this flue is removed.
Any ideas what I can do?
