My neighbours have had some work done to their house and I believe its caused damage to my property. What can I do?
A report should be obtained from an independent surveyor, and it should include the extent of the damage, possible costs of putting it right, and the cause of the damage. If the report shows the damage is the result of your neighbour’s works, there is a potential legal claim against your neighbour for the cost of repairs. In the first instance notify your neighbour of the issue, preferably in writing, and see if the matter can be dealt with amicably between you. If not, you’ll need to instruct a solicitor.
