Sorry if this is the wrong page but I couldn't find a subject specific to property boundary issues.
I am sure this topic has been raised many times but feel that this is slightly unusual as the wll in question belongs to my neighbour but comes onto my land by about 5ft.
The building is an out building of the main house but the entrance to it is on the boundary of both properties meaning that the majority of the structure is on my land.
This is by design, and being a council estate there are a few other properties that have the same set up.
I have included a drawing that hopefully portrays the layout but my question is this.
Who is responsible for the upkeep for the part of the structure that is on my land.
Am I able to erect a trellis without permission (although I would ask out of courtesy)
Can i paint the wall a colour of my choice, and could my neighbour object, taking into account that it is me that will have to look at it all day.
Thanks for your time
