    Thanks for your reply.

    The lease just covers the main areas, like the main roof. The balcony isn't mentioned at all so will go through the lease again to see if I've missed something.

    I really had no idea what to expect when it came to costs so appreciate that, thanks :)
    Please quote the exact wording regarding the roof. This is, after all, a 'roof'.

    And the walls.

    One thing, if you get into a legal or even personal heated dispute, this can later adversly affect a future sale.

    Sometimes, in fact often' life is uneven. If it were me I'd probably just take it on the chin myself. Sometimes in life things will go in your favour so it all balances out.

    We manage property for clients and I can well imagine your neighbour having quite a different view point to yourselves, something along the lines of 'if they want it done, they can pay for it, I was quite happy living here all this time with no fuss from anyone'.

    Sorry to be a bit brutal, I'm not a poster that tells others what they want to hear in order to garner thanks numbers.
    Thanks, your honest opinion is exactly what I was after.

    I'm a new to all this and it's sometimes hard to know what's reasonable/unreasonable in these sorts of situations. So thank you!

    Hey, thanks for the thanks!

    I just feel that what goes around comes around and a little tolerance and understanding can often go a long way later on, for example if your cats (your name makes me think you have pets) poo in his herb patch or whatever.

    Sometimes in life it's better to be loved than to be right.:A
