Hi Everybody,
A couple of Qs re. an extension on nextdoors property, built prior to
myself buying the ajoining half of the semi.

Firstly, they've built the wall up close to the boundary such that the
guttering overlaps into my airspace and will reduce the amount light
available for a new window I'm thinking about installing.

I may be wrong but I dont think Airspace is recognised in british law.

Secondly, the extension includes a toilet with the overflow pipe
draining over my side.

This would have been agreed with the previous owner I assume

Do I have any rights over these? I've no wish to start a neighbourhoow
row, but the former is a pain in the $%^&, and the latter seems a little
odd.

Sounds like you do or even if you dont you are going the right way to start
one.


I should add, the house was surveyed prior to purchase, and I only
noticed the above when measuring for the proposed new window.


You bought the house with all these in place. AFAIK there is nothing you can
realy do.
And how far our does this gutter extend as most only stick out 5 inches so I
cant see how this would affect light.
pehaps you could supply a diagram to show.
