To redo your roof, you ask your neighbor to be able to enter his land

 

Sometimes, it is necessary to enter the land of your neighbors to carry out work on a construction built on or near the dividing line. This is called the turn of the scale. Write to your neighbor to inform them of your intention to carry out the work, preferably by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to provide you with proof in the event of a problem.

 

To benefit from the ladder tour, four conditions must be met and respected:

 

- the work must be essential;

 

- it is impossible to go through another place to carry them out;

 

- the damage suffered by the neighbor must not be disproportionate to the interest that the work represents for you;

 

- fair and reasonable compensation can be provided.

 

If your neighbor is recalcitrant, all you have to do is seek judicial authorization from the high court, which will surely prove you right.

 

recommended letter with receipt note

 

Dear,

 

Following my visit to you yesterday to ask for your permission to install scaffolding on the edge of our two properties, I consulted my contractor.

 

Unfortunately, it is not possible to proceed other than by entering your land to carry out (indicate the nature of the work, for example: the restoration of the gable wall), and the envisaged work is essential.

 

Of course, I undertake to take responsibility for any damage that could be done to your property by the workers. I am also prepared to compensate you for the inconvenience I cause you.

 

The works will start on (date) and will last approximately (indicate the expected duration). I remain at your disposal to talk about it.

 

Please accept, Madam, Sir, the expression of my best regards.
