Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New build, neighbours garage on boundary 9Jul 16, 2021 3:11 pm I am in similar situation, my neighbor who is about to move in want his fence all the way to front even where we will have a garage wall which could act like a fence. I offered them 200mm of our land for them to use if they agree to finish fence where our wall on boundary starts. They seem to be reluctant and want their gate 2.5m behind front wall stating that is how developer has approved the fencing. (i would have thought developer would have no objection to using boundary wall as fence) They are pushing to get fencing done in next 2 weeks as they want to move in ASAP that is understandable. So I have convinced them to request fencer to do first 3 panels along the wall on boundary to be removable panels so my builder can remove them during the slab & brick stage and then reinstate panels back where they were. Has anyone done this before? Not ideal but not worth arguing to much with new neighbors even before starting the build. I didn't bother checking their quotes, I trusted their due diligence rather than finding a better value for money quote.

The person building next to my property has had no consideration to me or the laws that are attached to building on the borderline. I have received no notification saying the carport wall will be on the boundary line. I have had part of my fence taken down so the slab can be laid. i received no notification saying they would like to enter my property. I was told by the new knower that my boarder is 20cm into his land. I asked if he had survey papers and if so can i see them. He has not replied.. I was never asked if i have any pets, which I dont, But the week they took part of my fence down I had arranged with my son to look after his dog that weekend. My son cancelled his weekend away. I live by myself my property is 1555 square meters with the back of my sheds facing the new build. I had building material at the back of those shed and a small shed that has car parts stored in them, There is also pine trees that are along the fence line. All it would of took was the new neighbour to have a little bit of courtesy, a small amount of respect and things could of ran smoothly. The pine trees are old and look pretty bad I personally dislike them. Only if the new neighbour came spoke with me I would of removed the pine trees. Now he will have to deal with his gutters and pine trees. So just maybe sit back and look at whether or not you have communicated with your new neighbour. It really doesnt take to much. Can anyone recommend a good/affordable retaining wall and fence builder that I can get a quote from located in Sydney? 8 46443 thanks Chippy, i hope they have applied sealer but i am doubt to be honest, so i am gonna do this job after handover. 8 16374 You should be able to encase the sewer but you will need it designed and approved and access to lot 580 to do the work 2 17257 |
