access to property

[westcliffe]

the landlord of the property next door will want access to my property to do some painting,the query is am i forced to give him this,normally i wud allow this but i am he is a wee bit confrontational.

[dzug]

Probably yes - the deeds to most properties these days give neighbours the right to access where necessary for the purpose of repair/maintenance to their own property.

But it's not a 100% rule - check your deeds or get you landlord to check them

[flyciderman]

Why not talk to him and see if you can resolve the problem, and not look for reasons to have an argument?

[Peter Pedant]

say yes,
the neighbouring property mustn't look like a doss-house as this impinges on yours

and say/demand reinstatement. - they have to clean up their mess.

(one of my neighbours said, I am only gonna clean up things if I am negligent, and we not surprisngly said, on your way, and even the judge couldnt believe that)
