Question on boundary lines

StarBright01

I just have a question that maybe someone might know something about. In a housing estate that was built 10 years ago can a neighbour query a boundary line after we have both bought a house?

Basically our neighbour mentioned in a throwaway comment that our roof comes slightly into their space. (like about an inch or two max)

My question is could they even raise that as an issue now, considering it was a developer who built the estate 10 years ago, we obviously would have had no say on the roofs of houses (nor would any of the other neighbours) and we both bought our houses on the basis of engineers reports etc

They are building an extension to their house and want to join their roof to ours. We have no issue with it as long as we have it in writing that they will cover if there was to be any water damage, leaks etc down the line. Which is fair enough considering its their extension etc

Would they have any leg to stand on at all with this whole boundary comment? I would have thought no, but then again have no experience with this type of thing.

Joining the roofs of two previously detached houses?
You need some engineering advice, especially re fire prevention, drainage,boundaries
Most solicitors would like to see an engineer's report first, I will leave this open now. Forum rules apply.
