Our new neighbour is renovating the house attached to ours. The renovations included gutting their bathrooms, which involved heavy machinery to smash down all the marble. The force of the impacts at the time was felt very strongly on our side - it was impossible to be in the house for about two weeks because of the noise and the vibrations. Quite large cracks started to appear in the walls adjoining to their house (their bathrooms are right against the adjoining wall) and as the work commenced, they started to spread around the outer walls as well. To repair we will probably need to replaster and repaint.
Does anybody know if we have any rights to have them compensate us for repairing the walls, or is it just tough luck?
