What do people recommend? Should we connect our guttering (assuming
it's possible) or keep separate? Is there a real chance of damp due to
the gap, or is it best to keep as-is?
A small gap is irrelevant - think how much rain hits your walls anyway.
And even working gutters catch some rain on the outside that runs down
underneath and drips!
I would not connect them if your downpipes are set up to cope with an
isolated system.
Then if she (or new occupant) fails to clean her gutters or fix a blocked
downpipe, you do not suddenly get the benefit of a lot of extra water or
muck down yours.
Never share any service with a neighbour that you don't have to! Ever...
Very true. Especially a driveway.
