Options for a sloping roof with no gutter

[questions123]

hi
my neighbour has guttering and roof tiles that are on my side of the property line, so technically it's trespassing - the wall is the property boundary so you can see the white box and the roof tiles and ultimately the guttering are all on our side. given this was the case before we bough the house (i know half of the guttering below has been up for at least 15 years and it was extended to run the full length in the last five years)

question:

- i want to work with the neighbour to remove the overhanging tiles and guttering and box so it sits on their side of the property (willing to finance this) - are there any guttering options that sit within a sloped roof with no overhang? what's the name of such options?

- worst case if there is no guttering at all then i guess the water just runs down the wall - are there any huge disadvantages to not having guttering? i dont necessarily see how it's any different to water running down the side of my house..

Thanks!

Why?

Why?

Why do I want to remove the guttering intruding on my side of the house? Because it could cause problems when I come to sell it ..

Did it cause a problem when you bought it then?

It's quiet simple , cut back roof so it's flush with or slightly overhanging the cavity .
Add a course of bricks , line out the notch with timber and line with lead or lead alternative. Refit gutter further back so it's no longer over hanging the outside of the wall .
Re tile the lowest tile couses to suit.

Or just get the deeds changed to allow it if all parties are happy with that solution, probably cheaper too.

you cant do it without stripping that section of the roof and discharging into a box gutter

downsides: itll cost over £1k and if not done correctly could cause a leak into the neighbours extension

What does your neighbour think of this proposal? It would require not only removing the gutter, but also the tile overhang and accompanying soffit, and then presumably cutting back the rafters that overhang and support the soffit as well. Quite a substantial job, and one that must increase the chances of water leaking into your neighbour's property.
Presumably, when you neighbour had this constructed (before you bought your house) he'd come to an agreement with the previous owner of your house to have this overhang. Is this reflected in the deeds? If so, it might be difficult to get it changed
