Have you tried this Tex?.. http://www.getaheadofthegames.com/

I'm near the park, and my broadband went down for about 10 hours yesterday (approx 12-10pm). Rang them up about 9-30pm and they said 50% of modems in the area were down, and they said they were looking into it and that it should be resolved in the next 24 hours. Luckily my broadband returned about 20 mins after the call, not sure whether this was a direct result of my call or just a coincidence. During the call I asked for an adjustment to my bill, and they agreed to a ?5 discount of my next bill. You have to ask for this discount as they don't voluntarily offer it...

Awesome!..

When you moved into the house were you given a copy of an up to date Gas Safety Certificate? This is a compulsory safety inspection of all gas appliances, e.g. boiler, hob, and has to be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. If you have a copy, check the name of the person who did it to see if they are Gas Safe registered. If they're not, your landlady is breaking the law, and potentially endangering your life...

I would go even further and sack them, as there are serious legal ramifications for not having the necessary agreements in place. This is an explanation of the Party Wall Act... http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/planningandbuilding/pdf/133214.pdf mynamehere, if you intend to carry out works of a nature that could affect your neighbour's property (this isn't just limited to adjoining party walls), then you must serve your neighbour with a Party Wall Notice(s), which leads to the subsequent issue of a Party Wall Award(s). If you haven't done so already, you first of all need to ask a suitably qualified/experienced person (surveyor/engineer/architect etc) to ascertain whether or not you need to serve such a Party Wall Notice(s) on your neighbour. If you don't then there's no problem, and you can commence with the works (subject to Planning and Building Regulations approval). However, if you do, then you need to formally employ a surveyor and they will serve a Notice(s) to your neighbour on your behalf. A condition survey of your neighbour's property is then carried out, so if for example cracks appear in their house as a result of your works, you will be obliged to reinstate at your expense. Once everything is agreed, a Party Wall Award(s) is then issued to both parties and works can commence. Do not start the works before an Award(s) is in place. Your neighbour will have the option of using the same surveyor you have appointed, or they are allowed to appoint their own independent surveyor...either way, you will have to cover all reasonable costs . This letter your neighbour received is probably from a company trying to drum up business. Tell them to ignore it for the time being, and wait for you to set things in motion. By all means if they are a legitimate company with Party Wall experience then they could ask them for a quote, but personallly I wouldn't as their approach seems very heavy handed and borders on scaremongering. There are plenty of good reputable surveyors out there, and I would be more than happy to give you a recommendation of one I've used who is RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) registered. Hope this helps...

Stacey-lyn, as far as I'm aware this isn't a breach of Data Protection, but happy to be proved wrong. It's common for planning applications to appear online. Type in any street or specific address in this search box... http://planningonline.southwark.gov.uk/ ...and it will come up with a list of planning applications. Click on any application number and it will give further details about the application. It wouldn't take a genius to look at the address of an application and then write a similar letter to their immediate neighbour(s)...
