Neighbour Has Damaged My Property!
6 Answers
My neighbour has damaged my joining property (next door), during works & renovation on his property. I have photographic evidence, before & after. My neighbour is aware of all this and did promise verbally that he would remedy the situation, but has not taken any action to resolving the matter. Could someone please tell me what I can do to make sure that this problem is rectified & can I report the matter to the police as criminal damage to my property?

This is a civil matter, and the damage has been caused either accidentally (the damage could not have been foreseen at all, or was caused by a fall or dropping something and so on) or negligently - the damage would have been foreseen and proper steps weren't taken to prevent it.
Have you spoken to your insurance company? Have you got legal expenses insurance?
