It does say dormer but doesn’t say that dormer will be built on the party wall or whether they were going to raise the part wall. Just that padstones will be constructed to place steel beams. So this is something raise for sure

And here I was thinking that I’d be a good neighbour and be as supportive as I could. catch 22. Your point is right, when I serve my notice he can indeed object and even worse request for 2 independent surveyors at my cost. Thanks

So in your opinion Woody, all is fine with how the neighbour has built their loft? the question is how it’s finished from the outside no? I mean if they had built in by even 100/200mm.... 1) the waterproofing lead flashing would be on their end. although this isn’t a big problem, from previous...

Hi Tony Attached is the party wall act which only talks:agrees about padstones for steel beams and a removal of a chimney. thanks

Thanks all for your input and taking the time. I’m going to have to sit down with the neighbour and discuss the above points amicably and take it from there. I will post back on the outcome! Happy new Year!

I’m going to have to humbly disagree here with you woody! Signing a party wall doesn’t really mean the builder can build however they want . If indeed they have built on the party wall and that is allowed then all is fine. I won’t dispute that. Like I said when I looked at the finished product...

I said it seemed that it was not, that’s what I’m trying to establish. What’s on the drawings and what is built aren’t always the same because the drawings shared with me were plans/elevations and do not mark details showing exactly to the mm where things will go. I signed a party wall...

Hi Tony, Thanks for your reply and time on this. OK, if no PD has been breached then I guess I’m worrying for no reason lol. I’ve been searching and reading and was under the impression that the lead they have installed should be on their side of the parapet wall which then begs the question...

It seems this is not a party wall issue but a permitted development issue. By building so close as they have there will be no way for the neighbour to maintain there side of the wall once we build our loft and it will be difficult for my builders to build without disturbing their wall. The PD...

Thanks Woody, I agreed to the party wall act which does stipulate that they can’t build on the party wall which I believe they have, no? I didn’t really agree nor consent that they could lead flash my side of the parapet wall, I’m no builder but the lead flash should be on their side...

Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone could help here. My neighbour has just built an L shape loft conversion and provided me with a party wall notice which I signed. It was agreed that they will not build on my side of the property and any work which includes padstones etc on the party wall would be...
