Hi there. Are they any property legals out there? I have a neighbour building an extension. They have underpinned along the entire side of the house (semi-detached) and we have a Party Wall Agreement in place. However, they have exposed the footings of my single storey extension - we are on a hill - and they will not be taking any measures to protect my footings or reinstate covering (originally covered in soil) whereby water can drain away adequately.
Any idea what I should do? Can I insist on adequate drainage as rainwater will be falling between the two extensions?
Oh, and the Party Wall surveyor (we used their surveyor as we thought we'd be neigbourly!) has quoted Phipps v Pears 1965 re. negative easement case.
