I am in the process of building an extension and have verbally agreed with the neighbour that I replace the boundary fence with a parapet wall. I left it totally up to her. I was happy to build on my side and leave a gap between the extension wall and the fence but she was happier to totally replace the fence with a parapet wall. (She got advice from her father and her uncle, an architect). I wrote to her, at her request, to confirm what we had agreed and to confirm that the builders were fully insured etc. I outlined that the midpoint of the wall and the foundations would be where the midpoint of the existing fence is. She dropped into to me to give me her mobile number and confirm that she is happy with everything I had in the letter. She requested that I paint the wall when finished and I said no problem. I will need to re-plant some of her shrubs when everything is finished (and the weather improves). So, I haven't fulfilled everything on my side yet.
It's probably a bit late now as construction has started but should I have got something in writing from her? If so, what? She was happy with everything in my letter to her but that just had my signature!
