• Yeah... overall...

    £1250 x 2 when we had the extension done.
    £1500 to move a fence (which was wrong tbf, but had no issues with it for a year, so didn't count this originally)
    £1250 x 2 for the loft.

    I get it, she's within her rights, but I think being upfront and communicating can save a lot of stress and hassle.

    She also tried to stop our other neighbours loft, and cost them the same.

    Thing is, she's actually a really lovely person apart from this, who I actually really respect in some ways (reg things she has done in other aspects of life).

  • These are just associated costs you need to suck up as part of your works, why should your neighbour forgo their rights/protection to save you a few quid?

  • She also tried to stop our other neighbours loft, and cost them the same

    She's probably a bit bored of living next to building sites, then, after two projects from you and one from her other neighbour.

  • Why x2? You mean your surveyor and theirs?

    I think the minimum to expect (and the minimum to protect yourself) is a joint surveyor.

    If I did it again I'd view any savings from the max as a benefit rather than any extra from the minimum as costs
