Good luck with the wall. Hopefully your nasty neighbours will be smart
about it and you won't have to go to court over it.

I hope not to have to take it that far, but I will if I have to. I will
point out to them that they cannot win and will end up paying my costs.
The
wall will have to have the part that is into my garden, demolished.




If you're on good terms with the other neighbour that has the wall over
their property, I'd be tempted to have a word with them about it, too. It
might be easier if you go in together, and the wall can be removed in one
action rather than two, IYSWIM.

Good luck, although I know you won't need it, since the law is squarely on
your side with this one.

I am on good terms with other neighbour, he bought the house next door with
the long garden like mine, shortened the plot, and sold house and small plot
for renovation.
The difficulty is that on his remaining plot there is a huge tree that has
spilt in half, half of it has fallen on to his own land and the other half
has fallen over my garden and is only being held up by one of my small trees
that cannot take the weight for much longer and it is bending and might
snap.
I have asked him twice to do something about it, and eventually he came
round with someone (tree surgeon?) three weeks ago.
Nothing has yet been done. If my tree gives way from holding this huge one
up (which it will) and I happen to be going down to the chickens at the same
time, I will be history.
So it is a possibility that we will fall out about that, and if we do, he is
unlikely to support me about the wall.
Why do so many things happen to me?
I just want a quiet life and cannot seem to have one.
