Met new neighbours exchanged numbers. They asked for the shed, we said fine. Getting some work done, 2 weeks later he's sent letters to the surveyors making a litany of complaints. Went to see him today for an amicable discussion. He said he's written to planning to complain citing ancient bylaws things like tiles don't match (his are old, ours are new) and theres wood sticking up on skip, on our driveway. Really upset, wanted to move with good vibes. He seems intent on fighting. They told us they never visited the previous owner (80 year old) or went inside his house. He's measured everything and refused to talk.
Go on defence (yanbu) be zen? or attack mode (yabu) solicitors?
