Congratulations on your build.

@Money121 but not sure if he swims in that specific pool but he may be able to convince you of an affordable upgrade.

Sorry about that the image u published does not give in depth of what could be wrong or what kind of collapse..

During this down pour do you notice wind in action?

Do you have cracks on this wall before they collapse?

Whenever the collapse occur does it get to the foundation part ?

Do you usually repair the collapse and rebuild from there or from scratch?

Where's your compound water channel to or do we have it pond at the back?

Is there adjoining properties behind the 120 fence ?

Describe the soil in a clearer terms?

The collapse occur at a specific segment all the time or any stretch of the 120ft

Show a clearer picture of the fence standing with the collapse part..

My consign is not identifying this only but your build wall also should be observe careful with this with the kind of pillar and casting on the fence..

There was a slight tilt noticed this last time and a crack or two.
There was heavy wind when the collapse occurred and on all occasions, the fence fell in same direction, towards the property behind the 120 fence.
The fence was rebuilt from the scratch when the collapse occurred.
The soil is sandy but it was thoroughly dug.
I plan to start the foundation with an inverted tee beam this time then continue with block work.

How much is the stamp duty

As it affects RENTS and LEASE AGREEMENTS, it will depend on the TENURE of such Agreement.

Wow so so revealing and many thanks to lastpage and all other beautiful contributors... My own case is quite a dilemma... I have stays in a rented apartment for about 5 years now, and you know what, like lastpage said, I paid for agreement, agency fee, caution fee but I did not get a single document... In fact, since have been paying rent (Tru bank transfers of course), my landlord/agent just acknowledge with a text message and that is it.. He's not disturbing me, and am not disturbing him, we are cool... I have never received a single receipt for all payment, neither did I get any document termed agreement. I have never been worried, seems I am now.. I pay a little above a mil.. What do you think lastpage and all other contributor pls?


Okay, I will be very blunt with you.

I look at issues from the "immediate effect" and the "Long term Effect" and try to do a SWOT analysis of both, so l can take the best decision.

Either way, Men would Die - Fredrick Forsythe (The Devil's Alternative). grin

In the Short term, like others have said, since he does not disturb you and you have no issues with what goes on, Let it Slide.
Just make sure you work on having your own House, if it is just land, BUY NOW, that "bush" would have opened up to a Village or Town by now, if you bought it five years ago.... and the Price would be cheaper.
Its never too late to start. Start now.

In the Long Term, getting a Written, Signed and Dutied Agreement in matters of "Contract", is very germane.
Since you pay by bank Transfers and he acknowledges by Text, please ensure you keep records of both the Bank Transaction and the Acknowledgement text
Now, let me say this openly: My Post is not to incite a Tenant against their Landlords or vice versa, l have many, many Lessors (otherwise tenants) myself so it will not be to my advantage to do so but when we discuss a matter here, it should not matter how it affects us personally, all information should be provided and done openly.

As things stand now, in LAW, you can prove you are a "sitting, bonafide tenant" in that House, when things turn sour (I hope it doesn't and never does, but it is still not your house, if you get what l mean undecided ).
Worst case scenario, it is your Landlord who needs to Prove he gave you Conditions and Terms of Rent Contract, it is also his responsibility to collect Stamp Duty from you and remit to Govt, he has not asked and you have not refused to pay (You are not at fault).

So, just relax.
But in some workplaces, they need to see your Rent Agreement/Contract as Proof of Address, in some Embassy Transactions, you also need to forward your Rent Contract Agreement.
So, if you ever fall into such category or you need the "Agreement in Writing", all you need to do is tell your landlord that your Office wants to arrange a foreign Training for you and the Embassy is requiring your Rent Agreement, as Proof of Address, so can he oblige you with one. grin grin undecided I am sure he will quickly Print one for you..
Cunny-Man-die, Cunny-Man bury-am grin

I dont see why a Landlord who collected Money for Rent Agreement from a Tenant, will refuse to give same to his Tenant, it is UNFAIR, all Landlords were one tenant and most Tenants will become a Landlord, one day.
I do unto others, as l expect them to do unto me.

*** I dont know the "demeanor" of your Landlord, the nice guy who will do what is right if asked to do so or the dodgy type who will get annoyed and start animosity, if asked to do something like that. Use your Judgement on this (You know him more than any of us here), if you dont need it, just let it slide but know that if you also wait and not collect it now and things go sour between the two of you, it will not be a good time to ask for it, as he would read meanings into it. ****

If you were to build for resale, which would you consider between four 2/3 bedroom flats or 2 semi detached duplex on 300sqm of land.
Factors- which is ‘cheaper to build’ and which would yield more returns once completed.

You are right Sir, l said l will do so around July/Aug/Sept or so, last year but certain events developed that required my Time and l left it half-way done. Apologies, MyBad!
What l have in mind is a DIY, Step-by-Step explanation, highlighting pitfalls and how to make it work for the individual.
I was also looking for a way to embed Videos into it but l have not been able to get around that.
Since you are reminding me, l will pick it up again and finish it, for post.
