PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

I never said anything about having an argument about it? All I want is to get rid of the eyesore outside my window. ThanksGDB2222 said:I have no idea what the practical issues are here? Can you see the ladders from inside your flat? Are you worried about burglary risk? Are the ladders lying on their side on the ground? Chained up? If moved, would the ladders be more at risk of being stolen?On the face of it, a communal garden is just that. Nobody has any rights to any particular bit. The ladder owner has no right to store his ladders at all, probably, let alone in one particular spot, but you don’t have any right to require him not to. Without understanding the practical issues involved, I can’t understand why you should want to have an argument about it?0 -
I know this sounds a bit glib, but can you see them from your window? I understood from your opening post that they were immediately below the window(s) and hence presumably only visible when someone is in the garden already?From a security perspective, any such ladders should really be secured against unauthorised use - for example padlocked wall brackets, which also tidies up the appearance somewhat.Health Warning: I am happy to occasionally comment on building matters on the forum. However it is simply not possible to give comprehensive professional technical advice on an internet forum. Any comments made are therefore only of a general nature to point you in what is hopefully the right direction.0

No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1
