Of course I haven’t asked to dig a hole on her property. We have dug a trial hole on our side of the boundary to ascertain the depth of her foundations, when if course her head appeared over the fence, and the builder explained to her what we were doing. (no deeper than her foundations) and a surveyor from Building Control is coming today to see if this would suffice.
we have had a letter through the door from solicitors this morning. She acts quick! They’ve accused us of submitting plans, her contesting them, is withdrawing them and cracking on anyway. This isn’t the case, we did submit plans, for the 4m extension however when builders quotes were coming back, we realised we wouldn’t have a contingency so reduced the build to 3m which falls under permitted development. I’ve spoken to the council who confirm that the plans never went live and there were no contests, so it seems she is feeding this solicitors a pack of lies.
I guess we’ll wait to see the outcome from the building control officer with regards to the foundations.
Thanks!
no win no fee liars probably.
