axil23 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Need to fix a joint rear wall which is about to fall. We have agreed to 50/50 split on costs. The next door neighbor also wants to replace his back yard flagging which he claims was damaged due to the movement of the wall. Am I responsible for that too?

snorkerz Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 You need to find out who is responsible for the wall - most probably shown on the deeds of the property (downloadable for £4 from the land registry Mon-Sat). Normally, that person is who bears the cost of replacement, but you have agreed differently - that may be good or bad If that persons wall has damaged someone elses property, then yes they are liable.

Richlist Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 So I might bot be responsible for it? On the other hand, you might be responsible for ALL of it ......plus the damage to your neighbours patio slabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough the council called me a week back about one of the properties that is next to mine. Same situation. They wanna do 50/50 too! I will have to check.

Mortitia Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Axil - why is wall about to fall - could street trees be responsible? If so that is down to the council -but IME they will try to wriggle out of it. Mortitia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
