Yes securespark. Go to the top of the class! No actually, what's that horse doing in your picture?

Two house points for.....Squeaky! What a kind person to love cats so much. I am a dog person myself JBR so watch you don't get in my bad books!! Some good news. The inspectors got back to us and are apparently having the same problem as us trying to contact the builder. They said it is...

Not a member of the lovely club yet LMB! You must try harder!!!

Thanks. It's awful isn't it? Hope everything is ok with you now.

JBR I realised you could be the loveliest on the forum straight away and acknowledged it on page 1!!!! I wouldn't leave you out!;)

Thank you:)

Ahhh you two are also lovely. I feel so much better sharing this. I knew about the legal side of branches hanging over so I realised I had to let her do it but her reasons were a bit iffy to say the least. It's been a long 18 months and it has worn us down...not just the noise, disruption etc...

Thanks you two. I'll keep you informed.:unsure:

Sorry!!! But put it this way - she is quite a force and I don't stand much of a chance! I hope the building inspectors get back to me tomorrow. They hopefully won't stand any nonsense.

Yes she's fairly elderly but not your typical frail sweet elderly , very loud and strong and fierce! But even so I respect that she is on her own and older and have been very accommodating. I think the builder eggs her on as well because they have known each other for a while. There is more to...

Yes it's hard work. We have already cut down half of our lovely horse chestnut tree for her because some branches overhung her garden. We did this without her asking as we thought it fair. Then we had emails from her asking what I thought of my Elder trees. I told her I was very fond of them ( I...

Conny , I do sympathise. It's the most awkward and upsetting business being taken advantage of especially by a neighbour. It changes the atmosphere of your environment and the problem never seems to go away. This is how I feel at the moment. I was doing some digging in the garden and I felt...

Is that right Mattylad? That makes it tricky. And you are JBR! All of you. Thanks for your comments.

I needed someone to tell me that because sometimes you doubt yourself and sometimes you just put up with things for an easier life. I think this man has just over- stepped the line once too many times and this damage to our garden has upset me so much because, like you say, I could have refused...

Thanks John, Such lovely people on this site. It has been an awful year and we haven't made a fuss. You're the first people I have poured it out to and I feel a whole lot better today for doing it. I won't let them get away with it. I feel so much better with the situation with all of your...

Thank you all so much for your replies. Squeaky - you have really seen the problem. What you say is absolutely right. We are "yes" people and not very assertive and as the build went on things got worse and worse. It makes you feel awful - like you're really being taken advantage of and are...

Yes...my grievance has always been with the builder or "architect" who has given us a lot of stress throughout the build. The owner of the property doesn't know half of what has gone on as we have deliberately spoken only to him and not her. We are not vindictive people and didn't want to spoil...

Thank you for your reply. It's so infuriating that they can't just come and do it because after all we allowed them access onto our land in good faith. However, your advice is good and I will go straight out and take some photos and perhaps just get some initial legal advice. Thank you so much...

Hello, We have endured nearly 18 months worth of noise, dust, and inconvenience from a conversion next door. Because the back wall of their house is our boundary wall you can imagine how close the building work was to us . We endured scaffolding on our house and in our garden for 3 months in the...

Hello, Hope you can help! The property next to us was a B2 industrial workshop and very very old. The back of it is our boundary wall some of which extends onto our front drive. For a whole year now this has had works going on to change it to residential use and one of the last things they did...
