You went to a solicitor over a noisy gate? And you wonder why you have a hard time with neighbours? I'm sure you will soon find fresh egg on your car...

Come on, you're having a laugh now - everyone knows it's 3 microns (give or take).

The wall marks the end of my boundary and beginning of the neighbours.

However.... Can a neighbour put anything right up to the boundary within a milimetre, or, should common sense prevail and leave an inch or so?

The tiles overhang the wall, hence I am not sure if the wall itself is the boundary, or the roof tiles to be honest.... Will check with the solicitor who did my conveyancing.

Twanging noise on house is neighbours gate...

Thankfully not the house getting banjoed!

Seriously - I am in a detached house, and the neighbour has a gate bolted to my house - when this opens and closes the twanging noise goes through the wall so I can hear it.

I have asked my neighbour to remove and get their gatepost free-standing - they said they have tried it, but it did not work.

Told them their problem to resolve as their gate.

Solicitor said that the neighbours (from conveyancing) asked the houseowner if they could bolt onto the house, declined, they moved back. Obviously now that I have bought the house they are trying their luck.

If anyone happens to know if there is a legal minimum for how close the post in their driveway that borders my house brickwork should be, I would love to hear about it!

Thanks.
