Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Simonds Prague Willow Vale QLD 301Jun 03, 2016 8:04 pm Should the boundary should line up with the rear part of the fence, basically where the little retaining wall is?? Get your fence up along the boundary NOW. They are basically infringing on your land and after a certain amount of time (15 years I believe), without rectification, they will have a legitimate claim to it. The legal term is adverse possession. Re: Simonds Prague Willow Vale QLD 302Jun 03, 2016 10:46 pm Hopefully they will understand and have it fixed for you. If not, I would be putting up a fence and sending them the bill for their half. How ridiculous to leave the wall section out...so sorry you have had to have the stress of this kylie 👎 Re: Simonds Prague Willow Vale QLD 303Jun 04, 2016 6:39 am The builder next door called it a zero boundary, I'm not even sure what that means Re: Simonds Prague Willow Vale QLD 304Jun 04, 2016 8:00 am If your boundary follows the fence from the back there is plenty of room to build a fence next to your wall. Just because your builder had permission to build to the boundary doesn't mean your brick wall is now your boundary. Have a polite talk to your neighbours about it and get a feel for them. They have NO right to screw, hammer, attach anything to your wall. Having a garden hard up against a waffle pod slab is bad.

And get the landscaper to continue the fence along and not pay for the other half of the fence. They can take me to QCAT if they want.

They had no right to build on it regardless of how close your house is to the boundary. Usually when there is a 0 foot alignment the wall is only the depth of the gutter and fascia away from the boundary. Yours looks to be around 500mm assuming the fence at the rear is on the boundary. Ellison by Ausbuild - Brisbane viewtopic.php?t=81468 Re: Simonds Prague Willow Vale QLD 308Jun 04, 2016 10:20 am We have zero too but as stated above you do then have the depth of the gutter. Our fence guy said we should continue the fence right along to protect our wall and I agreed as I don't like what the people two doors up have done with theirs..

I would change so much. There needs to be a service for people like me to get advice and information. It's hard learning the hard way. Re: Simonds Prague Willow Vale QLD 310Jun 04, 2016 11:06 pm kyliebsmith The builder next door called it a zero boundary, I'm not even sure what that means There is no way that's a zero boundary. We are 200mm off the boundary on our one side and there is room for a fence. What do your plans say? I think it's a case of lazy fencing, plain and simple. The only issue you might run into now is that you will have to go on your neighbour's land to build the rest of the fence.

Not long and I'll actually have a yard where the child can run around in. Only thing is there's a mouse in the retaining wall. I like animals but I don't want mice in the house Re: Simonds Prague Willow Vale QLD 313Jun 10, 2016 10:54 am Oh no, it'll bring its friends!! I like animals too but we recently had to bait our house because our neighbors had an infestation and they started getting into our cavity walls Re: Simonds Prague Willow Vale QLD 315Jun 10, 2016 12:28 pm cooper229 Oh my gosh Kylie its looking great! We have chosen the same facade, it looks so lovely! Thanks cooper, I really love it! However hubby doesn't care, haha! I cannot believe how fast these landscapers are! Re: Simonds Prague Willow Vale QLD 317Jun 10, 2016 2:51 pm Omg my husband is so funny. He is currently trying to get a discount on the bordering fence because the retaining wall was apart of our build. Me and him are so different. If I think a price is reasonable I just pay it. He is such a haggler. It's so awkward, I'll let him do his thing, lol. I just want to continue without builders and fences. It's what nightmares are made of, haha. Re: Simonds Prague Willow Vale QLD 318Jun 10, 2016 2:56 pm Haha I can so relate, I cringe when my hubby starts with his banter, it really goes against the grain for me but I do love the success he usually has with it Re: Simonds Prague Willow Vale QLD 320Jun 10, 2016 6:14 pm Looks beautiful. This facade was the top of my list, love it. I just showed hubby and now he wishes we chose this one too haha Hi all. Anyone know when the $11,000 limit was set in legislation for renovations in QLD?
