    I need a detached house with no neighbours at all

    Cos the nobhead next door is a complete nightmare. In the past hes been the most awkward person in the world. Refuses to let anyone even put a ladder on his land to access the roof. Had a right go at our builder and threatened to call the police.

    So today he climbs over our fence and plonks his ladder there to get to his roof. Wife went out and had a right go.

    He seems to think its ok for him but not for us.

    What can we do? Legally what steps can we take to stop him?

    Also, before it gets too silly, if this does escalate and we try to sell the house what do you have to own up to these days when selling?

    Must admit tempted to speak to the police because I can see this getting worse.

    Or pay to have him topped! :-)

    Man Up !!

    If he refuses to let you 'put a ladder on his property' then don't send the wife out to deal with it when he does it on yours. Go out yourself and kick him in the nuts.

      WTMS. If he's been a dick in the past, time to have a go at him now. Alternatively wait for him to climb the ladder before pulling the bottom away. Taxi for Rod Hull.

        What exactly did he say?

        I'd be pretty raging if someone acted like that. I'm just imagining asking any of my neighbours that, and I know any of them would say "of course, no problem, do you need a hand?"

        The world is full of @rseholes though.

            Not sure a detached house will help. You get knobs all over the place, only yesterday the knob across the road decided to confront the missus over our dog barking in the morning. Effed and jeffed at her and called her a silly little girl, despite her earning more than his entire household.

            I went out to speak to him, he was doing something with tools in the back of his shifty car and he pulled out a hammer to great me. He kept on repeating you need to sort the dog, proper mental. I can only see this ending in violence.

                This. Even I would.
