No not got anything yet. I assume I’ll need some pretty strong bricks to support a concrete floor. Also, could it would work to do a row of foundation blocks with 2 rows of brick on top, with very thin joints?

and this is no issue? I assumed it had to be blocks as that’s what is normally used.

Hi all, I've just finished my foundations and despite making multiple calculations, the confusion of trying to make a block and beam floor meet an existing floor level has somehow left me with a concrete level 360mm below the bottom of the beams instead of 450mm. The plan was two rows of blocks...

We don’t have anything written, only drawings. We bought it in 2008 and it was built in 1977. Regular freehold purchase

Ive got everything they held and none of it is property specific. Just vague old drawings showing a red line around my property. Nothing else at all

Can anyone tell me where to find these deeds?

Im only just realising that what I have is not the correct information on paper. My paperwork shows only the area including neighbouring properties. I have nothing which shows just my property and covenants etc. Not sure where I’d find this?

After speaking with another neighbour who had the same issue with an identical looking wall nearby, it sounds as though it might not be the moment of the soil behind pushing the wall over. When the other wall was repaired he mentioned it being pinned back into another wall that sits behind the...

Do you know where this information is held? As I don’t have any individual property info, only things that show the cluster of properties around us.

The deeds available from a Land Registry show a red line. That’s all.

The centre of the wall marks the boundary, meaning half of the wall belongs to each side. That’s what they meant. The deeds don’t have markers on, that’s not a standard thing. Some have them, some don’t.

Hi, I am slightly raising an area of my garden which will have artificial grass. I intend to edge the raised area with a low wall. The total height of the raised area is 320mm which I could do with 4 rows of bricks or 3 rows with a half brick soldier course on top. What I'd like to know is, is...

No, although our local planning department felt that it was most likely a split boundary when they visited the site. The wall was built by the developer who built all the houses in 1977. The boundary on the deeds is marked as a thick red line which doesn't help. They are sort of the top of the...

I haven’t managed to find anything that provides anything of a source, just multiple comments/forum posts etc where everyone says the liability is on the owner of the land pushing the wall. But your point does make sense for sure. I believe the wall could be a split boundary, and confusingly the...

Everything I find online says the contrary, that higher ground is responsible for keeping their ground back. Do you have a source anywhere for your statement? Some facts would be really useful on this subject.

Who said it was my wall?

Hi all, I am looking for some suggestions on what could be done about the problem shown in the attached images. The gardens that neighbour my rear garden are around 1m higher with a retaining wall holding everything back. Over time the wall has started to rotate on the footing and I am...

In your opinion, which is the better option that I’ve stated in my original post? (Minus the membrane)

Ah, easily offended. A southerner after all
