Hello, I live in a old 2 storey weatherboard house that was built around the 1900s. It was built very close to the side boundary (like many of the homes in my neighbourhood) and to do repairs such as painting I need to enter my neighbours land (with their permission). I have very recent new neighbours that will not give permission for me or painters to enter their land to do repairs, even when asked in writing with weeks of notice.
What can I do? I can’t let my timber house fall into disrepair as it will need regular maintenance. Can they refuse entry for maintenance? Is it best to somehow get an easement for maintenance, and what would that entail? Are there any laws that can help without spending a fortune in court?
Many thanks,
OH
