Hi Woody. The issue is the adjoining neighbour and his surveyor want it both ways. They are claiming that for the duration of the work, we should treat the wall as a party wall. If we don't treat the wall as a party wall. I pointed out if they wanted to do this, then the title plans/deeds...

Reading the act, it is clear that the wall belongs to me. The only thing I can believe that could be claimed is if my wall building is over the boundary line.

That’s really helpful

Where could I find legislation/literature around a party wall having a room either side?

Thank you. That was aligned to my thoughts. I imagine I could proceed with the works stating that I don't believe the act applies because the wall is not a party. If the neighbour was to oppose, he would have to get the wall to be determined as a party wall.

Maybe this gives a better idea

On the image above there is a wall running into the staircase, top left. That is where the end of their building ends. There is no structure on that part of the wall, it is just the garden.

Is this clearer?

No, the drawing above shows that the wall is shared up until the zone 1 marking. The wall thereafter is on my land and he has no structure attached to it. So that 4 metre walls faces off to his garden.

The PWS has stated it is unclear to whether the wall marked is shared or party. What my neighbour is claiming is that the party wall should be in place for the building works. I've explained that if that wall belongs to me (which I believe) then I am solely liable for the repairs arising from...

A 3 metre extension off the back of the existing building. It will match the width of the existing building.

Hi all, Hopefully someone can help me. I am trying to get a party wall agreed with both of my neighbours. The neighbour on the image above has taken independent advice and believes that the zone 2 wall is a party wall, rather then zone 1. My deeds are silent on the boundary/party wall...

Hi all Hope you are well? We are planning on extending our current tiny flat in London. We currently have a small living kitchen room that we are planning on extending. The ceiling height is good at 2.8 metres and we are on a slope. So a potential plan would be to lower the space so we...

I just found this article: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/feb/17/open-house-two-architects-imagination-run-wild Seems like they lowered the first floor ceiling as well as the floor above.

Thank you all, think we are not going to proceed and do a reconfiguration instead.

Hi all, Hope you are well. I want to convert my loft, but believe I had to lower the ceiling on the first floor. Measurements are as follows: Loft: I measure 166cm between the middle floor beam (which lies on top of the floor beams that run from front to back) and the top roof beam. And about...
