Hi, looking for some advice please,
My garage electricity supply runs from my neighbours house, the supply has its own metre which i pay for ...recently he has threatened to turn the supply off....
I need to know, a) is this legal and b) how do i reroute the power from his house to a mains supply.. ?
Any advice will be very helpful..
Thanks
Tommy
 
Was this existing when you purchased the house or something agreed later?

if the property is rented, then push the problem to the landlord.
 
Any formal agreement in the house purchase documents?
the survey should have picked it up and if the solicitor did nothing about it, there may be some claim you can make To cover the costs involved.
 
Can you route a cable directly from your house to the garage, or does it have to cross your neighbours property?

Do you actually need electricity in the garage?

If they are being difficult, best get it changed or it will always be a threat they can use against you
 
i pay the neighbour... the garage has its seperate metre and i pay monthly the amount that is used...
Ahh, in that case unless you have a contract that states the terms of supply and availability you are pretty much screwed.

best option, if possible, would be to supply the garage from your own house.
