Neighbour's Extension

[canstandsya]

Hi all,

Hoping to get some thoughts on the following.

I am in the process of purchasing a terraced house and I noticed that next door’s extension seems to be encroaching across the boundary with the roof and some guttering entering “my” garden.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this regarding to the implications of buying? I am happy with the house apart from this issue but I do envision building an extension myself at some point and am wondering what sort of issues I’d be walking into. Would this be something that would put people off buying?

Just to note, I am in Ireland so the provisions/remedies under the Party Wall etc. Act are not available to me.

Appreciate any input.

If you want the property it would not be enough to put me off.

Presumably there are legal advisors in the sale process who can advise on the conveyance and implications for your future plans.

You may be purchasing "as is" and accepting the boundary situation.
