Rights to drill into boundary wall?

[loopyloo30]

I’ve got a row of shared garages forming part of my boundary wall. I want to put some trellis up but wondered if I would be allowed to drill into the brickwork?

Who owns the garages? If it’s not yours. You need permission from the owner to add or paint anything.

Legally you need permission of whoever owns the garage.

Practically if it is the back of the garage they are unlikely to ever notice.

The side wall of my house forms the property border and is next to the neighbours’s driveway. They have drilled into it to fix trellis without permission and claim they don’t need permission as it’s a party wall. I’m doubtful about that but it’s bloody rude either way. What is their liability if they have damaged my property?

They can’t attach anything @OnGoldenPondif it’s yours. A party wall doesn’t give them permission. They are completely liable if it’s damaged.

If you need to attach anything to a structure you do not own, fence, wall, garage wall, house wall you need permission, preferably in writing for any future issues. You could potentially damage it.

I can understand you want to make it look prettier but if you want to put trellis up then you need either free standing ones or ones with planters at the bottom. You do not want to grow anything up the wall of a property you do not own so you will need to leave a gap.

you not check out the law?
