New Build in Estate - Mistake with Boundary Wall

    We're buying a new build house in an estate, signed contracts last year and it's almost complete now, due to get keys in the next month or so. On a recent visit they had just put up the garden walls and they put the wall at one side of ours in the wrong spot, closer to our house than it should be by a few metres so takes a nice piece off our garden, giving it to the house at that side instead. So far the builder has been uncommunicative, ignoring solicitors letters etc., bar one response saying they aren't going to fix it. The garden was already small, and this is reducing it by almost a third, so we're going to have to fight it. I'm not really sure how to go about resolving it, we're just looking to get what is shown on the contract drawings, brochures etc.


    Has anyone been in a similar situation, or have any ideas the best way to approach it?

    You've been in touch with your solicitor so best to leave it for them to deal with.

    Forgot to add that your solicitor should be advising you to get a survey of the boundaries carried out as that is extremely important.

    Survey contract map Vis a Vis built map and consider further at that stage.
