I have not employed a solicitor for several reasons, i don't want any dispute on file when I sell. The council explained that the PartyWall Act protects each side. He is a nightmare and takes no notice of rules, he does as he pleases because as he said solicitors and court cost money and time. He is a bully. He thinks shared access means access just for him. I am 80 and dread all the upheaval of moving and where to, If i buy a flat I could have neighbours from hell again, a retirement living apartment is just not for me. I like my independence and he has taken that away. People knock on my door and ask whats going on, the rubbish on his front garden has been there for a year, as one amount goes another comes, a white van arrives now and then and shovels it into the back until the next lot. It is nearly up to the neighbours bedroom window, Council not interested as its a civil matter. I do not want to wake up each day and cannot see an end to it.

It is the worst thing that has ever happened to me, He has bullied me and wrecked and dug under my boundaries, there's no one to help. Ive tried talking to him but he just ignores me. His workers, all casual, use my drive and front as if it’s their own. Councils approve plans now and leave them to it, there is no help. Cannot remember the last time i slept more than a couple of hours. Have anxiety and it’s an effort to go out. When its all over, if I am still here, I will sell and move.
