Hi guys.
I'm in a bit of a situation where I am trying to lease out my business premises floor space to a local business, but have an issue with the rear wall.
An open flagstone yard at the front of my neighbour's house, connects to the rear of my premises. From the pictures you will notice that my shop is approx 1mtr below his ground floor level.
I recently contemplated getting some work done on the exterior of the rear wall, but unfortunately my neighbour has no interest in listening to my complaints, and has stated that I will not be allowed to disturb his flagstones to install any kind of barrier, to hold back rain water that may be encouraging the collection of water.
the wall in question, for the record, has been plastered for the third time in 10 yrs.
I have a feeling that the 'Courts' route would be expensive, but might be my best chance of putting an end to the water retention issue...
should I put my case to a local solicitor, or spend a large amount of money and repair the issue from the inside?
Also, any idea to fix it from the inside would be gratefully appreciated.
