Water leaks, structural damage, tree roots, or building work gone wrong — when a neighbouring property causes damage to yours, understanding your options matters.
Water ingress, structural cracks, and mould can worsen rapidly. Acting promptly to document and contain damage protects both your property and your claim.
Burst pipes, overflowing gutters, failed waterproofing, and poorly maintained roofs are frequent sources of neighbour-related water damage.
Take clear photographs of the damage, its source, and any temporary repairs you make. Date-stamped evidence is crucial for insurance and legal claims.
Under property law, your neighbour owes a duty not to cause nuisance or damage to your property. This includes maintaining structures, controlling trees, and managing water flow.
Understand liability, organise your evidence, and prepare for next steps with structured support.
A property dispute specialist assesses your case and handles the process for you.
You only pay if they recover compensation
