We're in the process of building a kitchen extn. One wall is going up against our neighbour's boundary. When I discussed it with them they said that as they planned to sell soon they would prefer if we kept inside the existing party garden wall so as to avoid any issues with the sale. Fair enough, so now we are building the new kitchen wall an inch or two behind that wall. It will mean the wall inside the room will need to step in half way down and look strange but so be it.
I'm now wondering what happens in the future when they sell and the new neighbour inevitabily wants to build his extn on the boundary.
Would we be petty to object? On one hand why should we care what happens behind our wall, the space is no use to us. On the other hand why should they get the space and the nice straight wall inside that we were denied? Might we encounter problems with a future sale of our house?
I know that officially, I can object if I want to but what's the general feeling on the reasonable thing to do?
