Still surprising to me that houses should be built without party walls where required . Houses could be built shoddily in some respects and still comply with building regulations because they don't really cover 'workmanship'.
I get what @Leofric is saying though, there's a difference between doing something badly and not up to code, and not even doing it at all
Yes that was exactly my point... You might get terrible mortar but it would be very unlikely they'd forget to put mortar in at all.
Yes, mortar that does not set as you say is not acceptable by anybody's standards.
Are they using lime mortar on many new houses nowadays
That's still not how building regulations work.
That's not a "no" then. That's a statement of fact.
