I'm a little stuck with what to do here.
I'm in a semi detached property in a rural location, we own our house but next door is still council owned.
We have done extensive work on ours, all self build with planning etc and signed off with BC. (Side extension, side garage, 11m wide two storey rear extension, new roof).
We've been building for over a year and our neighbors have been great with all the noise and building trucks etc.
A month ago at night we noticed a lot of banging that sounded directly above us, it's in their loft, now every night we hear them going to bed up there, I've got no idea how far along they are but I do know they have not strengthened the trusses or put a steel in, the timbers in there are not strong enough to convert it.
So I have two questions,
firstly,can this cause any damage to our property?
Secondly, if there's no risk to our property should I just leave it be?
I really don't want to fall out with them as they are really friendly and they don't have the financial budget that we do. They are a large family with I think 5 kids in a tiny house.
