Neighbours wall on my boundary

Absolutely but if you know all the facts it's then easier to try and find a solution. Personally (and i'm absolutely not an expert) there doesn't look to be anything structurally wrong with the wall. You can't make someone paint something just because it doesn't look very nice (we had a neighbour who decided to make the their party hedge into some sort of topiary disaster).Gmg1 said:
To be honest I’m not fussed about the guttering Ita more every time we go outside the garden just look awful with the wall hence wanting to paint it.davilown said:
But is your decking actually in the boundary or your land? That’s the important part / if it is overhanging your land then you can ask them to move itGmg1 said:
Yes well I believe so. It sticks out over our side so directly beneath is our decking.lookstraightahead said:Is that guttering definitely definitely on your land?
you obviously don't want to fall out with them, which is great.0 -
It's not yours though. What if your neighbours spray painted your car?Martin_the_Unjust said:Personally I would have painted it and then apologised afterwards if necessary.
im sure you're joking but just to make sure ....0 -
I'm pretty sure if you were to clean the wall so it is a normal brick wall again, that no one would say anything.Otherwise screening or getting the owner to agree to it being painted, which they probably would, if you can actually speak to them because after all I assume they never see it anyway.0

Absolutely that’s why we have been going back and fourth with agents to try and discuss with the owner.lookstraightahead said:

I'd try cleaning it, might be the cheapest option.0
