My wife and I own have purchased a house where one wall is on the border of the neighbour's land, which at present is not built on.
We need to undertake restorative painting/repair work to our wall.
We havemade a polite request to the (non-resident locally) owners of the land.
At present, the owners are denying us any access, mainly due to, it seems, a rather vehement family dispute with the previous owner of our house.
We have workmen ready to work, but do not know now how to proceed. Our Portuguese lawyer has gone away on holiday, and we just don't know what we need to do.
Could anyone help us with what to do next, please, and whether we have any access rights?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
