Hi
can anyone advise me? We've just finished building an extension - for which we had a party wall agreement from our neighbour. It turns out that our new wall is now interrupting the operation of a gas bioler in our neighbour's extension that was built with the flue facing our property and within300mm of our boundary. Neighbour claiming that we should pay for re-siting of the boiler.
Pretty sure - from other posts on this site - that this flue is illegally sited according to building regs (600mm or 2.5m depending on what you read). Can we resist that claim? Angry at the prospect of having to pay them to relocate a boiler that was incorrectly installed in the fist place, even if it's the building of our wall that's caused it to stop working....
welcome any suggestions on where we can find a firm answer....
