I am building in a brand new estate
My house in my stage is one of the first ones to be completed
2 of my neighbours are mid-way construction
and 2 of them have empty land but have owners
I have received the owners addresses from the council
got a fencing company quote, they send them all quotes and notice to fence letters 3 times
no response after about 2 months
I have sent a letter and quote with notice to fence through registered post.
2 of them awaiting collection from their post office since 20th of March
1 of the received on the 20th of march - no response yet
1 neighbour who lives in Vietnam registered post letter still in transit
If they continue to not respond I will have to build and pay for the fence and their share but Ill be taking this to court
if anyone has experienced a very similar situation where your estate was new, you were the first build to complete. And future neighbours did not respond to you. Was it hard to convince the judge to make them pay half?
I have proof of trying to make contact and its their legal obligation to pay half if I have made reasonable attempts to make an arrangement with my neighbors
