My next door neighbour lived alone and passed away just over a year ago leaving no heirs. Since then, his property has remained empty and for sale in the hands of an executor. The boundary between my property and the empty property is my responsibility. For part of the length I have marked the boundary with a low retaining wall and a wooden fence. During the recent stormy weather part of the fence blew down. When I went round to begin the repair I found that the deceased owner of the next door property had had a power supply installed to a small garden shed. The cable to provide the power had in part been fixed, by drilled holes and screws, into my retaining wall and into the base of the fence. I was able to make a repair on this occasion without disturbing the power cable, but at some point in the future I might want to completely remove and replace the retaining wall and fence. Should I ask the executor of the neighbour’s estate to have the power cable removed?
