Neighbour's shed
The message
from "JK" contains these words: The property behind mine has a large makeshift shed. Because the level of their garden is about 2ft higher, the height is about 3m above the level of our lawn. Now he's saying he wants to build it in brick, ie rip down the shanty-town thing that is there and replace it with a brickbuilt outhouse. Anyone know what rules would govern this? It seems a bit excessively high to be built right up against my fence, and shouldn't he have toget planning permission? I'm worried because our house is currently being sold, and I don't want to get into a dispute which might endanger the sale, but on the other hand, I can't ignore it. You're right that if you are involved in a current dispute with a neighbour, you are obliged to reveal this if a purchaser asks (and they will, if their solicitor is competent). That doesn't necessarily endanger the sale. You might also get into a legal tangle if you fail to notify a buyer of some relevant information he can prove you knew about; such as when his new neighbour says "Brick monstrosity? Old JK knew all about it before he sold up, surely he told you?". Making a simple enquiry at your local planning dept about planning restrictions, is not a dispute with your neighbour. When your buyer asks about neighbour relations, you can (truthfully) say you have never had any problems with your neighbour, and pass on what you've found out. Janet |
