Neighbours boiler overflow connected to our downpipe
2 Answers
We live in a row of staggered terraced houses. Our next door neighbour had a new boiler installed last year and the overflow pipe has been connected to our guttering downpipe. As the houses are staggered the downpipe does not serve his guttering, it's for us and our other next door neighbour. The boiler has been installed upstairs so the overflow pipe comes out of the brickwork quite high up and above our fence height. The installer has added some extra pipework to route the overflow to our downpipe, and cut a hole in the downpipe to connect the overflow. He did not ask for our permission.
Our neighbour moved out not long after this and has been renting the house out. We did not notice he had done this until after he had moved out. The house is now for sale.
Are we entitled to ask our neighbour (via his estate agent) to remove the overflow pipe from our downpipe and replace/repair the downpipe?
It is something a surveyor would pick up in his report and ask for proof that he had our permission?
Thanks
