I am currently in the process of purchasing a house.
However today we have cme across a stumbling block. In the images and sale pack we initially received the property had a fence that ran full length of the property to the left with a gate which is at the front of the property. there is then an alley way to the left of the fence for neighbours access.
Now our passaged actually stands approx 60cm higher than the alleyto the left. But they have not put the fence all the way along, it ends at the rear of our building. So we have a pathway that is raised approx 60cm from the pathway/alley next door with no safety barrier in place.
Is this legal? the developer has stated that we couldnt have a fence as the elevation of the fence would be too high, in front of the nieghbours side window and block light.
Make sense?
