Same boat as me. My neighbours solicitor tried to claim we cut a chunk out of her patio despite the fact we went nowhere near it and wanted another £120 on top of the 2k to fix it.
I phoned him directly and asked what where the motivations behind this blatantly false claim and he had a bit of a melt.
Small victories. Neighbours still cost me 3k for nothing. -
What could have been a really nice I'll sort out anything that goes wrong type of deal, turned into nearly £2k for me and I basically loathe her now.
Does show a lack of judgement. Easy way to find out quickly if your neighbours are fucking shortsighted idiots though. Didn’t they steal your surveyor as well?
My next door neighbour did this too. She used a right jobsworth of a surveyor who charged me a £1,000 up front then another £600 after for taking photos of a hairline crack in the wall and writing a report. Then my next door neighbour used the surveyors friend to do the repair works at another £300.
