Hi,
I hope someone can help with a bit of builders/loft conversion know-how.
I purchased a property a year ago, and finally had a good look in the loft. I knew when moving, that the neighbours had a loft conversion installed (this would of been done after 2015 when they purchased their house).
Upon inspecting the party wall, I noticed a lot of bricks missing. I understand 1960s houses, party walls tend to have bricks missing where the wall meets the roof; however, there are bricks missing near floor joists etc. Also, they have seemed to build their loft conversion in the centre of the loft, and isolated the sides with plasterboard walls to store items etc. I can see the plasterboard through the wall. Where bricks are missing at the bottom, I can see right through to their loft, and there seems to be alot of discarded plasterboard stuffed behind their walls and under their floor.
I have also noticed quite a large chunk of bricks missing near the floor, and 2 wires are running from their loft, all the way into mine. I am not sure where these lead to, or what they are. Should wires like this be running between properties?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
