Hello
The side of our house is a brick wall. It is also the back wall of the neighbour's garage. We quite recently moved in, there may have been some party wall agreement in place but nobody can find it.
The wall, visually at least, isn't in great condition. The neighbour now wants to put thermal insulation on this wall as he wants to develop his garage somewhat and turn it into a studio.
One of the issues at play is that we have some damp evident on the inside of our side wall. Not sure if the garage has anything to do with it.
What is the best course of action for us here? Should we argue that the back of the garage be left alone to aid breathability? Or should some sort of water proofing paint be added before the thermal insulation?
Thanks..
