We are rebuilding the garden wall between our properties. It's our wall.
The neighbours have a small garden gate attached to it. It's not a security gate. It was there before we moved in.
They keep drilling holes in the wall when their gate falls off. We've always known we'd eventually replace the wall so just ignored it but now we'll have a lovely horribly expensive new wall I dont want their rusty gate attached to it or the holes it will make. Our gate will be attached to it.
We are a terrace and they have a habit of assuming they can do things to our house eg they messed about with our guttering. I know they'll moan when we take the wall down because they wont have a gate and I know they'll just attach the gate to the new wall without asking.
We have a civil relationship but nothing more.
Am I being a bit daft? If not, how can we stop them attaching the gate?
