Hi all
I’ve lived at my home for the past year or so and so far no problems with my neighbour. They keep themselves to themselves and same for myself but we do say hi on the occasion and they collect my parcels if I’m not home and vice versa.
Anyway I live in a maisonette (upstairs) and have a small garden area in the front of my home with a small back gate that leads to the public road.
My neighbour below has a back garden exclusive to them and has a back gate against thier garden leading to again the same footpath.
In the front of our home we have a front garden which I assume is a communal space between us both as we both have access to - however the flat downstairs has a front door which leads directly to this space, however it’s currently overgrown with bushes and we have no need to use it so neither I or the neighbour use it.
Often I see my neighbour passing out his back door and walking around his garden to come to my ‘garden’ and walk around to the front of the house. This I have found strange as like I mentioned, his front door leads directly to the front of the house so I feel there’s no need to keep passing my garden space to get to the front. But it doesn’t affect me and I don’t want to disrupt the neighbourly ‘friendship’ so to speak to I haven’t bought it up.
In my garden area I have put out a potted plant in the front of my home for decorative purposes and noticed yesterday it was moved. I assumed mabey it was an accident so put it back this morning in the original spot and went for a day out with my family.
I’ve come back home about 20 mins ago and again I’ve noticed my plant pot has again been moved - this time further opposite the original spot near my door.
Now I know it wouldn’t be anyone else but the neighbour downstairs as it’s a very quiet cul de sac and the only people to pass here are the residents. Also my house is ‘hidden’ behind the main houses so nobody ever passes there but me and my neighbour.
We also have large bins and again they store thier bins in my garden. Now before it didn’t bother me as in the cul de sac other houses have the same layout and I didn’t pay attention to where the bins were being stored. But after having a walk to another neighbour earlier on in the week I’ve noticed the bottom houses store thier bins in the front garden of thier home - so now this has started to make me feel I should mention that I would like them to store thier bins there also as I think it’s fair.
AIBU to have a word with them tomorrow about moving thier bins to thier front garden and telling them to stop moving my flower pots !?!
It seems silly issue but I don’t want to end up living next to a nightmare neighbour - and at the same time I think some boundaries are being crossed here and I don’t want to keep quiet and let them feel is OK ?
