We have an extension built.before there used to be a 2 metres fence.now the extension is almost finished we built a 1 metre wall between the 2 gardens. The neighbour was never happy as he wanted 2 metres.the wall is on our property so is ours.tonight the grandson came and threatened us if tomorrow we do not build the second meter.is there a law which says it has to be 2 metres ?

No. Your fence can be as low as you like.

Make a report to the police telling them that you have been threatened by the neighbours grandson.

We have called them yesterday and reported him, now they have to find him. also the old man could get an anti social behaviour warning because he has been bothering since we started the work.
 
Why the wall starter higher up if you are only going to build a metre high?
And why build a wall in place of a fence? So much expensive to build than slapping up a couple of standard fence panels.

Also, is that wall starter attached to his wall? Seems to be a funny boundary situation there.
:unsure:

As Herts has already said - its your wall on your property and it can be any height you want it (up to 2m unless adjacent to the highway) so your neighbour cannot dictate it's height.

They could however (with your permission) pay for it to be raised higher, or just fit their own 6 foot fence panels their side of it.
 
Seems to be more to this than is being let on, why would you change a 2m fence to a 1m wall, what are you gaining from that? Does the neighbour have a nice garden or a nice wife you like looking over at?

I can understand their position, you should re-instate what was there originally, there's no real reason not to from the info you give, once you do that they have no room for complaint so why not make life easy for both of you?
 
why wouldn't you want a higher fence? do you want to look into his property, and his into yours?

why's there a wall tie going up the wall for higher than a metre?
 
What does it matter why he wants to change a crappy fence panel for a wall?

It is a homeowners right to do what he likes with his own boundary structures
 
I don't disagree it's his right to do it woody...but usually more privacy is a good thing imo.

Behind that wall might be the neighbour's living room or bedroom window a couple of feet away, and perhaps the op sits on a deckchair learning over his new lower wall everyday watching what's going on next door, and that's why the grandson is bent out of shape.

Just because the op has the right to do something, doesn't make it right.
 
Usually when people don't get on with their neighbours they want a higher boundary structure not a lower one.
 
Then its the neighbours right to put their own 2m fence up on their own land.

A 2m brick wall costs a lot more than a 1m one.
