Bought a property now neighbour asking to pay share in the common wall


16-Aug-2023 (In Property Law)
Hello, we purchased a house in 2018 on Resale. My neighbour had already built a common wall between our houses some years ago. But he beared the cost of wall himself and didn't ask for share with previous neighbour (the previous neighbour was not staying in house as he purchased just for investment). Now after two months we have shifted, he came to me and asked the share for the wall. Do I have to pay?

You have to see the documents whether the owner of your purchased house had allowed to build common wall. Whether the wall is in the common space or in the space owned by your neighbour. Whether the owner is willing to create a document of your ownership in the wall now. On these basis only you should pay. Otherwise submit documents to proper advocate to guide you.

Yes you will have pay because they wall is common but if you do't want any pay for thet wall then you will bulit a new wall near the common wall. And new saprat wall benefits is you both own saprat wall and you can any renovation in your house in the future you don't want parmition for that wall.
