Neighbours Scaffolding in our garden

The Dentist should have spoken to you as a good neighbour.

The builder should have then called into you to show you the locations of the uprights and agreed their location

They will be as quick as possible and hopefully they don't damage anything but take pictures to be sure

Why would you look for a daily rate , would you charge a mate if he parked in your drive way while visiting

compensation is normally paid out to cover a loss ,what loss is there

This seems to be a perfect way to live in a house and not a community.

Why don't you just approach the owner, explain you would like to be consulted in future, make it clear that any damage should be either put right or paid for and leave it at that?

I'd be calling into the receptionist and ask to talk to said dentist. Up to them to talk to the builder and ask them why the hell this was done without the courtesy of asking. Request a clear answer and explanation.

On other hand, if you use the services of this dentist, maybe best to be very diplomatic :)

Approach your neighbour and inform him of your unhappiness and discontent. Highlight the issues: Access, Safety etc. See what their reply and the contractors reply is.

As for compensation or goodwill gesture - there is nothing that can be enforced. You can obviously ask him how he plans to address this but as you will not be disrupted in earnings, I cant see you gaining anything. I doubt access has been budgeted for - given permission wasn't sought in the first place.

Let us know what replies you get.

i bet the builder will say "I knocked twice on Monday, you weren't there and we had to move on with the build. Sorry about that, finished on Friday. Bye".

If it was me I would approach the builder tell him he's trespassing and instruct them to get off the property immediately. Then the ball is back in the dentists court and see what happens.

That is the height of ignorance to just assume access like that and there could even be liability issues with yourself were the scaffold to collapse or someone injured themselves on your property.

Maybe have a word with the dentist and get a free check up would be your best bet to be honest

Quite possible this and even the neighbour saying the same. Make it known you are put out by it and should have been asked face to face before the work commenced and see how it goes.

You could invoice the dentist a daily fee for disruption but that could backfire in time especially if A its not paid as you will feel further aggrieved and B cause long term bad relations with the dentist.

Or just the legs on his property 😂

Absolute no without permission. Call in and tell them to remove it with. 48 hours. After that, solicitor.

This is trespass plain and simple.

Seriously? Are you aware of neighbour's entitlements under the Land Conveyancing Act?
