No build has started yet. Just find it bizarre how the law can grant permission to a person to disturb someone else’s roofing and void thier warranty entirely if they want. I don’t agree to that at all.
Would any of you agree to it, and then put your trust in someone over 7 years to cover your...
@Mottie
Thanks mottie for your response, that’s the thing how can I make sure of that within the party wall award, the neighbour has stated purposely that they are intent on moving so how is viable that responsibility is with him for the next 7 years of the warranty period which is left it...
My neighbor is building a rear extension in his garden, connecting to our shared wall (adjoined property) which is registered to my land via the deeds—no issue there, as we have a party wall process in place.
However, the extension will be the same height as my adjoined build, and my neighbor...
Wont be considered by the planning department when discussing planning permission<< I agree totally, its not an objection. I just feel theirs grounds for comments to ensure inaccuracy are known and a legal trail
Even on the grounds of what i mentioned before as : This will ensure a documented...
Its ok to be worried of essays :ROFLMAO:. Sorry, its my home. Hence why im asking for opinions. Hopefully you can help by actually giving me you true opinion. :giggle:
Hi Everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well. I have prepared a submission of neutral comments in response to a planning permission application from my neighbor, and I would appreciate your feedback.
Excuse the lengthiness of my comments, but could you all please take a look at them and provide...
How is the Party Wall Agreement a defense to such a claim? Who stops the builder from carrying out works that aren't within building regulations but have been signed off because they look fine on the outside? There are cunning ways in which some builders get away with things. On the contrary, I...
@^woody^ As mentioned by Woody, the claimant has to prove their claim. Even if there was a PWA, as long as it's a tight seal, it could help in a court of law. However, relying solely on that is doubtful. You'd have to bring more evidence, including surveyor assessments. If it's 100% known that...
There are two answers I could give you regarding the difference.
1. The roof has been there from day one and attached to his wall as part of an old shed from the home builds of 1949, so it's beyond our control and something that has to be accepted whether we like it or not. Him buying a home...
I have no objection to him butting up against the existing wall, but linking up to the existing roof is not an option. Regardless of the made-good element, would you accept something that would invalidate your warranty and roofing insurance entirely because of someone else's work? Someone who is...
Focusing on subsidence and foundation issues only.
What responsibilities should a homeowner and their builder take on when building on the boundary line 2 meters next to a neighboring property that was built in 1949? Of course, the Party Wall Act applies.
What preventative measures could they...
Thanks @thomp1983 , this is the thing. If I agree to his alterations, it would invalidate my roofing warranty. We had the roofs and fascias done 3 years ago. Plus, the neighbor has said he intends to move away in the future to sell the home. So how can I be sure of any future maintenance with...
Hi @Deluks @kingandy2nd @Murdochcat @mattylad @mikeey84 @^woody^,
Thank you so much for your responses. Here is an update on the matter. Photos are below.
He is actually doing a dual-pitched roof; I saw his plans today. On my land registry and title registry, including his, it states that the...
