Hello people.
Our new neighbours (who have not yet moved in!) 'phoned on Friday to arrange a meeting (this Saturday), to which they arrived with plans and a party wall agreement document.
They want to build an extension ACROSS the party wall divide, extending at least 6" into our garden.
They were very disappointed we wouldn't sign there and then. They want to be finished by Christmas. They want to start work this week. In fact, they've started - though not actually digging foundations or anything yet.
They have told us it will INCREASE the value of our home and that they are doing us a favour.
People - what should we do? What's the done thing in a situation like this? Are they correct in saying that it will increase the value of our property?
Dh is inclined to agree. I think this is quite possibly not true. Who is right?
