Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it's up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday's paper.
This week's question
My neighbour's fig tree is spreading alarmingly into our garden. And I'm constantly having to cut back his manky rose bush. Polite requests don't work. Should I hop over the fence and hack it back? What rights do I have to control my neighbour's ramshackle garden?
What are your thoughts?
