      I live in a house next to a block of flats. When the body corporate requested access to our yard to allow them to paint their external wall, we were happy to cooperate and agreed.

      They started yesterday and it has been a disaster. Their building is 4 stories high and to errect the scafolding, without as much as a call, they tore down the children’s cubby house, left the yard full of equipment and in a complete mess, broke plants, squashed the mushroom farm and more.

      My children were in tears on seeing the cubby house in peices.

      Their commitment was that they would have scaffolding in a 1.5 strip along the boundary. They left the yard filled with gear on the day before the long weekend making it unusable.

      I realise the contractors and not the body corporate have treated us badly and don’t particularly want to punish my neighbours. At the same time I feel that if I am not firm, I will be walked over again. The body corporate say they are happy to compensate us. How would we work out what is fair ?
