Neighbour new door private garden thread #2

[Wattyyyy]

Couldn't remember the title of the last one so thought that'd do!

No sign of them at all, went out and looked through and all the lights are off, definitely not in. WTF IS GOING ON????

This is certainly keeping me occupied while my husband is away on a sleepover for work.

they must be crapping themselves

Thanks for linking the first thread, I forgot!

I've got a friend coming over with her little girl tomorrow now. She says she'll bring a swing and paddling pool and we can sit out there all day and keep lookout, haha

I actually want them to come back now so I can update.

What they and their builders have done is vandalism on top of trying to commandeer your garden.

Maybe they planned to stay elsewhere tonight while the building work is being done?

How was the pie?

I'm just shamelessly place marking - I'm definitely over invested in the outcome of the thread!

Placemarking!

If the doors are open maybe you could have a quick snoop around the flat and draw a diagram of the layout - ya know to pass the time til they get back lol just kidding

Don't engage, OP. Contact all the relevant people who will sort this.

shamelessly place marking

I bet they've seen the thread and are now quaking in their boots somewhere.

Hope you get it all sorted soon!

Omg! A big hole and a shit door in a listed building AND trespass? £££

I reckon they're staying elsewhere whilst the work is done. They're probably having a new kitchen put in too.

Sorry if you've already said, but have you met them since they moved in?

Surely even a numpty realises you can't put upvc doors in a listed building, and need permission before doing anything at all.

Maybe your local planning office has late night Thursday opening hours, like shops do....and that is where they have been held up

the builders have definitely told them they've been rumbled. maybe they thought you wouldn't notice...

aaaaargghhhhelpme yes new owners. They very recently purchased the property, as did I with mine, however, I've already been here a while as I'd rented previously then bought from my landlord.

They obviously didn't know this though, not that it makes a difference! But maybe they thought they could sneak the door in before the "new" owner arrived.

What if they're away ... for the WEEKEND?! shudder

This will have impacted the value of your home in 3 ways.

1. Potential neighbour dispute.
2. They now have access to your garden
3. The appearance of your garden has changed. Surely a beautiful, period feature in your garden adds to the charm and the over all value?

@Supersoaryflappypigeon, thanks that's me sorted. Not sure what the rest of you are going to eat though

place marking

Considering the inside of their kitchen must also resemble a building site, the neighbours probably are staying elsewhere.

I reckon the reason there were six builders was to get the work done so quickly it would all be complete before the OP got home or noticed.

I detect a whiff of avoidance from your ever so charming neighbours...
