Question Author
Its not a party wall, our kitchen wall is separate from it, and as we have lived here 55 years have no agreement in place. We are a small friendly community,neighbours normally accept that they keep their property in good repair, and not to the detriment of each other.e.g.the neighbour in question's roof rain downpipe runs onto my lower roof with suitable lead flashing to prevent it running into my house and we never objected to them doing that. Plus - when I told her the problem,and reminded her twice, she agreed to have her wall repaired, she's quite wealthy (unlike me) so it is no problem moneywise, and we have already established that her wall and my kitchen wall are'nt one and the same,as she intended having repairs done last year to the whole wall,
,but deferred it because of a nesting bird. Hope I've explained things better this time.
