Passage (utility area) attached to neighbor's external wall
Posted: July 30th, 2015, 11:59 am
Hi,
I have constructed my house (ground floor + 1st floor) two years ago. My neighbor behind my house had already extended the wall of his house till the end of his site without leaving set backs. While putting RCC for my house, I have extended my utility area (2 feet passage) behind and have attached the roof to my neighbor's constructed wall behind. Similarly terrace roof of my house has also been laid to attach his wall without giving any gaps between his building and my building.
The neighbor's house behind stands at a higher altitude than my building. His ground floor flooring is at the level of my building's first floor flooring. I mean neighbor's ground floor starts at the level where my building's 1st floor starts. Since his building is at a higher altitude, i am afraid that my building would be bearing the entire load of his building. If so, my building would become weak taking on the entire load of an adjacent building. Please let me know is this going to be threatening to my building. What can I do now? Please help
Regards
