My neighbour’s done a really shoddy extension – it’s got big holes & wonky bricks, I’m worried it’s damaging my house
FROM petty arguments over wheelie bins and car parking spaces to noise complaints, we’ve all heard horror stories of nightmare neighbours.
But one homeowner has a more serious concern – after claiming their neighbour has recently built themselves a “shoddy” extension.
The anonymous person took to Reddit and explained how they’ve recently bought a terrace house in the UK, but are worried that the “awful” extension next door may cause “damage” to their house.
In the post, they penned: “We live in the UK and since we recently bought this terrace house our neighbours have built an extension themselves, it’s awful.
“Should we worry?”
They then shared a series of photographs of the extension in question, before listing the issues they claim each image shows.

Alongside one photo, they claimed: “They left a hole.”
Among the other allegations include: “They also didn’t brick up the bottom” and “it’s uneven.”

The worried social forum user continued: “Our extension went up in 2020 by the previous owners and looks good.”
They concluded the post by asking: “Will this damage our house?”

In response, one person offered some words of advice.
“Check with your local building control to see if the work was inspected. (You may be able to check online). If it has then it’s safe (but still ugly),” they urged.

“If not then an anonymous complaint to building control might be appropriate.
“There are other potential issues (party wall, buildover agreement) but building control is the best starting point.”
