Depends on the shed, we have quite a large shed that cost about £3,000 add the lawnmower and patio set etc you could be talking around £5k.

Yep depends.
I have a smaller one that looks like you can get it for £147 from B&Q, so there is a big range.
I can see contents are also involved.


It's still worth looking at though, because loss of "no claims" and several years of higher premiums costs many hundred of pounds, so if the entire bill is in the low hundreds it might be worth just paying for it.


I expect most people living in ex-council houses don't have £3K sheds and £2K lawnmower and patio sets - WOW


but yeah depends............................
Can be ignored if it doens't apply.

As others say - in theory, you can sue your neighbours, but if they have no money or assets, that might be a waste of time.

You can report their anti-social behaviour to the council (their landlords). The council can evict tenants for anti-social behaviour, but I've no idea how anti-social they need to be, before the council will do that.

Well, the generosity of her lifelong neighbours has been amazing. Yesterday morning me and my brother were trying to put up a temporary fence to stop the dogs getting in mums garden, and the nice neighbours turned up with bags and shovels to clear the charcoal remains of the shed. someone have her a padded relaxer chair, someone else a parasol. the guy in the corner house came and made a fence from wood he had. then a couple who had not long moved in opposite gave her a massive discount off a plastic ex -display shed from where they work.
All they wanted was to help, as mum has lived there all her life ,and when Dad was alive he helped everyone in the street at sometime or another. These old communities are rare these days and I feel mum will be safer now.

Good to hear that she has good neighbours who will keep an eye out for her.
