Developer Access To My Property For Construction - House On The Boundary
Hello!
Here’s a New England situation for you: Our neighbor’s house sits 8” from our shared property line. A developer intends to gut-renovate it and expand it substantially with a new residential wing. This means a lot of work and it seems like it’ll be hard to accomplish that from their side alone. There’s also an existing structure that will be demolished, which sits very close to our giant trees.
The developer has not obtained permits yet but started “moving things along”. Various contractors show up and they all assume that there’s wide margin to walk around the house, I.e. on our side. We’ve told them where the lot line is but, when the real work starts, there probably needs to be some type of formal understanding of how things will work.
What type of preventative work do we need to do here - like documenting the current conditions? Do we have any say in the layout of the new house, eg regarding lost privacy? What type of lawyer can structure or evaluate an access agreement? I”d also appreciate any input on what such an agreement should cover.
