as detailed below Catenary cable it, also for experience the gate cross bar, nearly cut through one a few years ago, chap had placed a cable and water pipe in a hollow box on top of gate cross bar, we had to remove it to fit new gate and frame, just about to cut through it when heavy rain forced us into garage, and i noticed the pipe and cable coming out of the wall, so lucky that day rain stopped work. Another house an other gate frame, drilled a 7 mm hole for frame and millions of polystyrene beads poured from hole, quick dash to van to bung a fixing in to stop the beads, used as insulation, and just wait to you find a vermiculite filled attic.

Credit to you for asking, but I doubt the neighbour see's potential for issues further down the line. But your job is done I guess and you've gone about it the right way in terms of including the neighbour. As a non-spark, I just feel it could've been done without going on their wall at all. However, linian clips in the mortar is what I would do with network cable, much nicer than cleats on SWA.. Let's try not to ruin brick faces where possible.

[@blower1]

The primary issue with doing anything on someone else's property, even with permission, is when it comes time to sell the house. If a mortgage company is made aware of cables on or through someone else's property/land that are not theirs, then usually the mortgage company would require an easement put in place. Also other issues can arise with regards to insurance, any problem as a result of that cable could (and will likely) invalidate any insurance claims. That said, none of this is your problem - it is up to the owner to be aware of these potential pitfalls and if the property owner agrees at the time of installation then you are fine.....do note it must be the property owner, if its rented accommodation then you would need the landlord's permission.

You have seen the comments saying don't touch it. Legally this is called a 'party wall'. As the wall is on their land, you could be prosecuted for criminal damage if you even mark the wall.

[@GampyBamblor]

Its party wall if the boundary is SHARED....its not its the side of their HOUSE....a wall/fence/semi detached inside wall are party walls..

[@mikebarry229]

Almost certainly THIS IS A PARTY WALL and if so Nick's sister would have a right to fix her cables to it. Of course Nick did the right thing asking for permission, and the neighbour should have asked permission to fix their sky cables to it. This is because party wall structures are jointly owned by both "parties". If one side refused permission then party wall legislation should be able overrule that, but at the cost of the person that wants to do the work. Reaching agreement amicably is obviously the way to go, but chances are Nick had every right to put the cable there, and that right could be enforced under the party wall act.

[@stickwelder9920]

It’s not a party wall. Party walls are inside the house and are shared with rooms either side of the walls. To illustrate this, there is ONE party wall in a standard built semi detached house and a terraced house in the middle of a row would have TWO party walls. Walls at the front of the house or the back of the house are NOT party walls. And OBVIOUSLY walls that happen to run alongside your property’s boundary are not party walls. You have not right to even touch someone else’s wall next to your property let alone drill holes, or fix a cable, hang a gate or even paint it etc. These laws apply in England, I can’t speak about other countries.

[@mikebarry229]

@@stickwelder9920 Your definition of a party wall is the common sense one, that might have applied before the party wall act 1996 came into place, but not any more. You are not alone, 99% of people commenting here are under the same wrong impression. No longer that simple, more's the pity. That is why a whole industry has been built up around "party wall agreements". There are now numerous definitions of what legally contitutes a party wall in England and Wales, or a party wall structure, or when a party wall agreement is required. There is no need that there be a room either side in different ownership (though if there was that would definately be a party wall), All that is required is that the wall be built on or form part of the boundary. Sometimes being close to the boundary can be enough if certain conditions are met. Even a garden wall can be a party wall if it separates two or more ownerships. A wall of a building not on a boundary (but close to it) can be a party wall if both sides use it for support so arguably just the fact that the gate frame is fixed to it makes it a party wall, but its already a party wall simply for being a "wall on the boundary". Government guidance is that certain works MAY be too minor to require a Party Wall Notice, and gives the example of drilling and plugging a wall to fit shelves, or chasing in wires and sockets, but if in doubt to seek advice from a Party Wall Surveyor. Nick did the correct thing in asking, and likewise the neighbour should have aked to install their sky cable, possibly moreso as they needed access onto the neighbours property to do that. If the wall wasn't a party wall, Nicks sister in law would have been within her rights to refuse permission in all probability, as its only the fact that it is a party wall that would have given the neighbour the right to access the wall from the neighbours side for repairs or fitting the sky cable unless covered in some other way within the title deeds. The laws I refer to only apply in England and Wales as far as I know.

READ THE DEEDS! The deeds to your property tell you if it's a shared wall or not. Some deeds may even say you have to leave a gap on your land so the neighbour can maintain their wall or fence.

[@ianm452]

Absolutely: the deeds should specify where the boundary is and the legal conditions that apply to the boundary. However, I cannot imagine how the wall of a neighbour's house can be a party wall, unless it existed as a garden wall and the house wall was subsequently allowed to be built upon it, which seems unlikely. That seems not to be the case here, because the brick wall doesn't extend beyond the neighbour's house into the front or back garden.

[@sang3Eta]

@ianm452 The boundary is a line on the deeds. If it's maked with a T it shows one person owns it. It can be made of anything. Brick, wood, hedge or even air (many front gardens are open plan, no walls or hedges allowed). The eaves of the neighbours roof may seem to come over "your" land, but it could be their land under the eaves.

[@johnclements6614]

You normally have a right to access the neighbors property to maintain yours.

[@pauljones464]

I was repointing the gable end and the supermarket had a big sign which was fixed to my customers wall . After seeking legal advice i was within my rights to remove the sign which was what i did and returned it to the supermarket manager who wasn't happy . Finished the pointing and then the sign was refix to my customers wall . I was asked to remove it again .fixed and filled the holes drilled into the my customers wall . Eventually it was realised drilling holes in somebody else's property is causing damage unless you have express permission from the property Owner . The supermarket then applied for permission to put the sign back on the right of way passage and some deal was done with the local council . The sign was then refixed to two posts place against but not touching the wall and the sign was refixed to the posts . The passageway was owned by the council and they allow the supermarket to put up the sign on posts . The house owner tried to challenge it but it was fixed to posts on public land not their property they could do very little . You need to listen to your advisor no regulation governing fixing a cable to another property . Doesn't mean you can . We also had a lamppost cable cutting across his land which was a shop with a mix of private paving then the footpath paving. The owner wanted to rebuild to his boundary and make a light well into the cellar within the boundary of his wall . The cable was re routed back onto councils land . Around the boundary of the wall / land .

Personally I like the idea of going for the mortar. The brick is supposed to last forever the mortar can be replaced. That's probably the best least intrusive way to do it, and easily reversible in the future. Definitely an interesting one with the dual property issue. I can't say I know what the answer is on that but I did have an interesting issue in my local town. There were a bunch of row buildings, one of them burned down and was removed. The neighboring owner got deed of ownership of 6 inches of property so they could put a retaining wall with insulation up. They also had somebody paint a mural on part of the wall of the three-story building. They were going to do a Open Air beer garden in between with somebody else. Three people involved came to a combination of a conflict with one of the parties not breaking the tie. Went to court was decided that the property was gonna be auctioned off and it's sold to the owner. This has been going on so long the details are a little hard to remember. The neighbor was doing all of the work and not getting paid. Major conflict involved. Then one day the mural got painted over with a solid color and then if you weeks later a basic welcome to town was painted on that. It's nowhere near as eye-catching. With the kicker is they never asked the owners of the building about painting over the mural or painting their building and they purposely didn't do that as even law-enforcement knew that they were going to be doing this and disregarded the call when they called. I hope my writing makes sense. but apparently in my town you have the right to paint anybody else's building if you're the "lucky ones". The same person has been harassing all the other businesses and even controlling access to the one-way alleyway behind the buildings preventing propane delivery, trash etc. and even recently trying to block a regional manager Comcast cable guy from leaving when he came to check some of the equipment on a pole behind the building claiming trespassing.

The simple answer, is with permission, but if the neighbour insist on you follow the party act then you could be in for month of negotiations. If they say no then your bollocks, Just because it's not covered in the regs, doesn't mean you can do it. There are things in building regs which is sparks need to comply with but are not in the regs . The party wall act covers what neighbours share in common. You can only fix cable to fence if you have permission from the person that owns the fence, if you proceed without the owners permission you can be done for criminal damage. It's not the trades person job to negotiate these things it's solely done to the client. My advice walk away untill the client can prove they have gained permission, in writing and they give you a copy. The moral of this is cover your arse

What ridiculous advice. There are holes in the wall. That is 100% damage. If the neighbours agree, without realising the implications for them later, that's fine - but you cannot fix to a neighbours property without permission. The holes would to any court be the actual nub of it. You, not the householder would be guulty. Of course in civil claims, it's usually practical. You are guilty, so you just fight over damages. At worst the court could order removal and costs. I cannot believe you don't know this? In fact, the bit in the video about doing it and they won't notice is worse for damages, because it shows you knew, but still did it. That could increase damages significantly.

If you think about this so-called fixing - it’s the same as parking your car on your neighbour’s drive.

Absolutely not, lazy working. Keep the cable on your own property then under the garden.
