Hi..new to this forum and would love some advice. Trying to sell our house and now this has happened.
Our neighbours have just started a loft conversion. The wife told us they where having it done 3 weeks ago and they don't need planning permission. That's fine.
We have not had anything in writing from them or the council and we are wondering if all is at it should be.
They started work on Friday. I could hear them going through some brick work and loads of rubble fell between the two houses. I stood in the front bedroom and listened to this happening
The builders left early as rain set in.
Before they went I overheard there conversation with my neighbours.
The builder said he had to cut a small hole in a breeze block and laughed it off saying it fine and my neighbour thought this was hilarious
He also said loads of stuff had fallen down between but no one would know about this and that would be ok.
I wanted to call the council but hubs said to leave it until he had been up in the loft at weekend.
So at the front right hand side of the loft a whole breeze block has been smashed through and rubble everywhere and you can see in next doors loft. We've taken piccies.
My neighbours have not told us or informed us of this and when I heard them talking with the builders the husband next door was laughing about it.
Is this ok?
Do we call the council building regs department.. I over heard two builders laughing about not needing building regs for something.
We have our house on the market and I should think if someone gets a survey it will come up on that.
Help!
