Thanks for your reply. It's not just a piece of overhanging gutter, it is attached to soffit board with facia. Surveyors report says "roof gutter of the extension is likely to be on the line of the boundary and may very slightly over sail the likely boundary line". It's a bit vague, but I can see myself that it overhangs a couple of inches.
I'm guessing planning permission wasn't required, it is a few metres of an extension on side of adjoining house. It would impact extending our kitchen on one side.
Because housing stock is low in our desired area, and we have to buy now after looking for nearly 2 years, it is likely we will go ahead with the purchase. There isn't a whole lot of choice out there.
Does anyone have any insight in to how this issue impacts on property value? Would a 20k reduction in our offer be realistic? Has
anyone extended their house with an overhanging gutter in neighbouring property? What was the solution - leave a gap between wall of extension and boundary wall? Any insight much appreciated.
