We now agree - we are learning that you can't beat solar hot water!
Another BIT of a PROBLEM...Like they say if it was easy everyone would be doing it!
The neighbour's Builder dug their block of land down about 1400mm in 2 steps and encroached our land. Then Owners engaged a subcontractor to build retaining wall with blocks and a small portion of the retaining wall is on our land.
We needed to build a boundary fence as too unsafe to rent out our unit to tenants without a fence.
We mailed out a letter asking for a dividing fence and copies of quotes, as too unsafe to rent out our property eg. unit 2 without a fence.
The wife rang twice and hubby went up to meet her to explain boundary fence. The wife agreed to fence had ticked she wanted a colourbond fence on letter - then my hubby pointed out at Colourbond fence at least 1Kdearer, so she suggested 4 installments of $207.00 and signed for this.
We have her written consent to a fence costing 4x $207 installments.
Anyway we put up a 1800mm timber fence and she has not paid any installments.
I have sent out 3 requests for payment + plus notice that we will seek payment via legal system!
On Monday I will ring the Community Justice Centre on 1800 990 777 to organise a mediation session.
I believe in a WIN/WIN situation so when I/we go into mediation.
I am happy to explain OHS and hazards and risk of injury to her and the mediator and demonstrate this with pictures, explain to her that she has built her block retaining wall on our land
and had signed to pay 4 installments for a timber fence and paid none.
Wonder how much the small portion of our land is worth and I wonder how much it will cost her to remove her retaining wall off our land.
Will be interesting to experience how Community Justice Centre mediates.
