Get you minds out of the gutter lol , we have developed damp in our chimney breast over the hast couple of months and it needs sorting out . We have had a builder we know look at it , he has done some work for the woman next door. He said it is a waste of time getting it done as he has done some work for her a few times replaceing rottern floorboards she has an old back boiler that has been leaking for years and the builder says that's what is causeing the problem , have we got the right to ask her to get it fixed . Spelling police please forgive me lol x |

Yeah, we had our neighbours drains leak into our cellar. So it might come under the same sort of thing.
Since it's causing damp/mould in sure it'll come under environmental health.
You can ask her to fix it and if she doesn't the council will come and inspect it and enforce a notice, fix it or we will sort of scenario.

"Ask her. She might not know. She may be innocent.

Ask her. She may know. She may be doing it deliberately and is as guilty as a lemon. She has known for years the builder told her x"
Ask her to get it mended. Tell her that any costs associated with your renovation will be claimed via your insurance on her insurance. Maybe speak to a solicitor for a free session? |

"Yes you do ....contact citizens advice to find the best way to go about this ... sounds like shes an elderly lady .... so needs handling with empathy ....  "
Oh dear not good , she is elderly but a very nasty person I suppose that can come with age but not so according to other people in the street x |
