Re: My neighbour installed his bathroom plumbing pipes in my property

Whale, thanks for your comments. What actually happened was the OC (myself who owns 2 lots in the plan & one other) informed the new owner his bathroom was leaking into the garage of someone else’s lot below (mine) & he told us that he would organise the repair using his son-in-law who is a builder) and would renovate the rest of the bathroom. Either we incorrectly assumed or were led to believe this was replacing like-for-like using the exising plumbing in that lot, not creating a new wet area with new plumbing for 2 toilets, 2 vanities, 2 showers – all added to my garage. Further details were not provided verbally or in writing by the new owner & permission/approval was not given either verbally or in writing by the OC. We had explained to the new owner, a couple of times, the process for altering/adding to common property. We know now, we should have been more heavy handed & insisted he edudate himself on due process for all & any changes.
