My neighbours Guttering fell down in the last storm. He refuses to get it fixed, can I force him by Law?

Question

The inside of my wall is showing Damp as water is running down my wall.

Answer 1

yes you can, if it is affecting your side of the property then you have the rights... go to a solictor and ask him for advice....

Answer 2

Yes you can force him to get it repaired if it is causing damage to your property. You can also seek compensation from him for any damage to your property, even though the damage was caused by a storm. You need to make sure who is responsible for the upkeep of the guttering though. You really need to get estimates in writing for the repairs to your property from properly qualified tradespeople. You can then appoint a lawyer to represent you or go to the court house and begin an action case against the person. Sometimes the best route to go down is to have a lawyer to act on your behalf if you think it is going to become nasty, as the lawyer will be able to contact your neighbour with the appropriate legal letters. You can also claim the lawyers fee back if you eventually end up in court. Most of these matters are handled by small claims court unless your repair people tell you it is going to cost thousands of pounds to repair the damage. If you are going to make repairs to your property before any action is taken, make sure you take good photo's of the damage and make sure they are dated. I would have assumed that this person had insurance on his house which covers eventualities such as this.

Answer 3

I don't know if you can force him to repair it. However if it cause damage to your property you can take him to small claims court to make him pay for the damage. Have you ask him to have it repaired? You might want to mention the damage that it is causing and if necessary send him a certified letter requesting he pay for any damage it has caused. Be sure to get an estimate for the cost of repair....

Answer 4

You certainly can. If you have your own solicitor, job done and you could probably pass your costs on to your neighbour. Otherwise Citizens Advice Bureau usually have a tame solicitor willing to help.
