But not when
I think you're right to feel a bit put out.
Big picture:
you're going to be doing some work that will Affect your local environment
they are concerned
they want an independent survey done
this adds £2k on to your bill (unexpected, but I think you can accommodate it ?)
you don't like this because if (and when) the situation was reversed you would (and have) signed the cheapest option to help out with neighbourly relations
this work will cost xk (or x/2 mink coats)
this work will add xk value to your house
this work will add unquantifiable value to your house when you live in it (unless you measure it using some sort of qualitative index of "positive feels" compared to before the side return)
you are looking to hammer this person because they are costing you
you want to fire frozen sausages at them because that's the current way of displaying displeasure with people on this place
Personally?
I'd sigh and not call them a prick.
