NEIGHBOUR WANTS TO EXTEND USING GARDEN WALL

We live in a semi D and built an extension last year. Our neighbour told us we could build on half of the garden wall if we wanted to but our builder advised us not to and so we stepped in.

Our neighbour wants to build an extension which is about 1 metre further out than ours. He asked us for our permission to build onto the garden wall (knocking part of it down and building it up again). We refused. Now he is saying that he doesn't need our permission as his builder told him that the garden wall is inside his boundary. Also, that the person living in our house at the time the walls were built didn't want a wall and so that is why the wall is inside his boundary - but he wasn't living there either.

A family member has said that if any of the piers in the wall are on our side then the wall is shared. All of the piers are on our side. We have just decked our garden and put decking boards up the side which our neighbour may have to take down when the wall comes down. Also, will the gutters etc be hanging over onto our side? Still trying to get copies of his plans.

Can he use the garden wall without our permission?

You are talking about legal issues here and we dont accommodate discussions of that type. You could try post in the legal discussion forum if you wish but my advice is see a solicitor.
