    Trouble is neighbours can be proper cnuts. Ours tried to fleece us out of 2k for vet bills for treatment to horses after a bonfire. Didn't produce any bills or a vet report to claim the money to the insurance company and then get all arsey over a rear boundary which is mine according to land registry.
    Are you Jock Ewing?

    In my experience you are very lucky if you get decent neighbours.

    Get the wall rendered and draw a line under hostilities. A couple of years from now you may or your neighbours might want to move. These conflicts can come back and bite you. 
    If its you who moves first, try and sell the house to a crack dealing, deaf reggae sound system enthusiast/ pneumatic drill loving/ insomniac/  who breeds rats/ skunks /pigeons/palace loving children.


    I can't afford it.

    The Patels get everywhere.

    is that wall even safe? I’d be more worried about the light you’re losing. Do they need or have planning permission for a wall that height?

    It's a shared wall = shared responsibility, so, I should just get on with it, no other real choice as I see it...
    it might not be a shared wall, it looks like it’s sat on the land of one owner from the photoa sinple party wall notice at the beggining when the original extension was built  and these issues would not have occurred. The neighbour should also have served notice for the new wall, then access could have been agreed for the wall to be neatly pointed.

    Bear in mind that disputes with neighbours have to be disclosed if you ever wanted to sell.

    But who ever admits to that, surely no one?

    It's best to especially if it's a dispute about boundaries, right of access etc.

    I'd not put on this board what problems I have had, suffice to say that I sympathized with Damo in a big way.

    I'm afraid they do JB. When I was selling my house in Avery Hill Road, the rather irksome guy who owned the garage adjoining(not the house) accused me of doing something to undermine the foundations of his dilapidated garage, which I had not. I told him to F... off. So he wrote to the agents who were selling my house and they said technically we are in dispute.  I asked my solicitors advice and he said offer him £5000 fo shut up, so I told him to F... off too. I told the buyer what was going on and he thought my neighbour was a chancing arsehole and bought the house anyway. Never heard another word but it can put a spanner in the works as legally you have to declare it.

    If you'd told the spanner to F...off you would have had a  hatrick.

    Coincidentally, my buyer was a spanner. But a nice one!

    Did the buyer say to the neighbour - "F**k off, I'm Millwall"?

    Sympathy but i don't think your builder did you any favours in moving on with this.
    Saying he'd give them £250 then laughing at them was being a twat and did he 'relay a new lawn' or just put it right?
    I did think that. Builder started this by offering £250 and then not giving it
    Builder retracted because after saying he could be on their property whilst putting up & pointing the outside wall, they then changed their minds, so apart from putting in the foundations, it was all done from our side. Their garden looked better once he finished than it did before he started. We're talking about what is basically a bit of wasteland on their part. As for the builder laughing, I should clarify that he didn't actually laugh at them, but at the suggestion of still paying them, even though they had stopped him being on their property.
