I havent been on here for a few days as ive been so ill with stress
We were renovating the outside of our property-nothing major/that impacted our neighbours but as we had good relationships we informed them of everything (its been planned for 3 years as its taken that long to save £!) albeit in person and we also emailed them just before.
One neighbour however didnt reply to their email - so we have nothing in 'writing' but we disgussed it in person instead. (You dont feel you need it for people you've lived next to for 5 years and get on with..)
Anyway, our builders were really friendly and were great but this neighbour just kept on complaining to him about ridiculous things....really petty.
Again we continued to be nice and walk on egg shells (we're quiet people) ie; we layed a certain brick wall - she didnt like the colour so we changed it all for HER and paid for it fully etc.
The building work finished at weekend we were so relived (3 months-taking so long due to the horrible weather and things going wrong.)
Then we find she emailed us at our workplace 'insinuating' we'd done things - she was TWISTING our words over what we had apparently done to a back wall 5 YEARS AGO!
(There was a 2 brick high, metre long wall, behind her fence 5 years ago)
It sounds like shes trying to get us to say we removed foundations from 5 years ago that will make her driveway collapse!?
Apart from that stress....co-insidence or what, she is now having her house repointed....the dust is EVERYWHERE all over my new house, freshly painted things etc, its obviously done on purpose. Its all just a MESS.
We can tell she is wanting to push this issue to try and get something from us maybe taking it to court - for the information we have NO MONEY LEFT this is so scary!
What I want to know is:
1) She didnt notify us she was getting re-pointing done - should she have done by law etc? (My back window was open a jar as I was at work and this is where my Chi's are) I could have prevented some of the mess on our side if she had done.
2) Does she have a case if she has no proof (ie before or after photos) plus nothing is damaged!
3) Because of the impact on our health (I have a history of Stress/Depression) can I do anything about that technically? ie I dont want to have to constantly answer the door, email, letter from her? I wouldnt say its harrassment just yet its probably not been that regular but that doesnt mean its not caused me so much upset.
Ive tried reading up on the laws but they are so complicated and looking at our deeds we cant make sence of them either.
Some people are just EVIL - she had an issue with her other neighbour too! All we've been is fair and paid for everything even work on a shared wall!
Im scared to go home
BUILDERS / LAWYERS - Please Help!!
