I am hoping that someone on her knows a bit about Scottish property law and shared utilities and can help me out.
We own an old mid terrace ex local authority house in Scotland. A few months ago, our neighbours started a major extension and remodelling of their house. Our mains water pipe is routed through their garden and will be underneath their new extension. Obviously building regs say that the pipe has to be rerouted. They are wanting us to pay for the complete rerouting of the pipe and say they will smply cut the pipe by next week if we don't pay up!
I have no idea about property law. Can they do this? Can they really cut our pipe on their land? Help?!
