HI first post.. and at my wits end just about now.
my neighbours having an extension built.. and since the start when the builders turned up they been asking for scaffolding to be put on my property which i said no..
from the start they never served a party wall notice but the small wall in question that was going be removed didn't make any difference..
the builders have built right up to the boundary and left no room for the roofing that will normally protrude away from the wall, over my boundary.
this i can fill in an enforcement notice only when they actually protrude over the boundary..
now however the extension wall is approx 8-9ft high and now i have received from the builders a party wall notice letter that is signed by the council on behalf of the building owner( as the council own it) yes i am a council tenant, saying that they can start work after 48 hours notice.
after umpteen phone calls to the council prior to this i was assured a party wall was a civil matter and not anything to do with the council, so how can they sign it if its nothing to do with them.
also.. minor detail, but the postcode is wrong for my house on the party wall notice that has been signed. would i be able to delay anything while its sorted out?
they gave it to my 17yr old daughter as well. is there a clause saying it has to be given to an adult in the house? clutching straws i guess.
they have also given me a letter saying that scaffolding will be turning up on Tuesday the 14th and will be erected on my premises..
this was just an informing letter and in the envelope with the party wall letter and has no signatures from anyone of authority.
if anyone could help it would be massively appreciated
oh btw they also said they are going to cut into the garage wall that joins their wall and we will end up with a leaking garage/roof
