We are trying to go through the PW agreement but the neighbours want their own Surveyor, fair enough. He has now come back and asked for footing details. But how do we do this without starting the work. He's also said that if the neighbours extension footings protrude onto our land then we will have to do major underpinning to support. We've been told there is no option around this!!
Any views?
We believe that the neighbours had pillars and pads as footings spanned by large concrete lintels beside the party wall. If we do the same and offset the pillars would this be OK?
Can we also build right on the edge of the pillars facing the part wall as these will be extended by trench fill along the rear of the extension.
