Difficult neighbour

Desdemona

Has she given a reason for saying no?

Keeping adjoining houses in good repair is in both neighbours interests.

No , she just said that she wouldn't allow anyone on her roof even though she was reassured IF any damage occurred it would be corrected. She just always has this air about her that she thinks she is very important.
I bet if my guttering failed and water caused her property to be affected she would be shouting very quickly!

I doubt the landlady will budge without a solicitor’s letter. Perhaps the CAB can point you in the direction of one who isn’t too expensive. Good luck!

A solicitor's letter will be a lot cheaper than a new roof.

The Access to Neighbouring Land Act should assist you but you really need to see a solicitor and ask them to write to the landlady.

Thank you, I knew there was an act of some kind but wasn't sure what it was called so that's a great help .
A solicitor sounds expensive sadly 😥

How unreasonable!!.I do hope you are able to resolve this issue - very stressful!
