HHarry said:You can usually have a 2m fence anyway, unless it’s along the ‘front’ of the house.
OP if I lost 20cm from our garden I don't think I'd care but if it's a very small garden then it's more understandable, boundaries are very hard to define anyway, it's unlikely to affect the sale of home in the future so if the fence is otherwise good you just have to weigh up the headache of having it redone and chasing the first guy for the money vs losing that small strip of land.In the game of chess you can never let your adversary see your pieces1 -
Aylesbury_Duck said:What's happened with your insurer? I advised to wait and see what they said.
I need to understand if any fees involved as it's a bit unclear and what services they do/don't offer.
And then what worst case scenario looks like.
I had a groundworks person carry out a CAT scan and returned no live cables in the area.
Plus it's in writing, which may not be solid evidence but more of peace if mind that it's safe to dig around there.
There could be redundant cables which can be moved as they are flexible according to the person. And he would carry out the remedial work.
