Thank you @RandomGrinch your right thanks mate. That’s exactly what I’ll do

No build has started yet. Just find it bizarre how the law can grant permission to a person to disturb someone else’s roofing and void thier warranty entirely if they want. I don’t agree to that at all. Would any of you agree to it, and then put your trust in someone over 7 years to cover your...

Yeah as I said we currently have one party wall surveyor representing us both. He hasn’t started yet.

@Mottie Thanks mottie for your response, that’s the thing how can I make sure of that within the party wall award, the neighbour has stated purposely that they are intent on moving so how is viable that responsibility is with him for the next 7 years of the warranty period which is left it...

My neighbor is building a rear extension in his garden, connecting to our shared wall (adjoined property) which is registered to my land via the deeds—no issue there, as we have a party wall process in place. However, the extension will be the same height as my adjoined build, and my neighbor...

Wont be considered by the planning department when discussing planning permission<< I agree totally, its not an objection. I just feel theirs grounds for comments to ensure inaccuracy are known and a legal trail Even on the grounds of what i mentioned before as : This will ensure a documented...

Its ok to be worried of essays :ROFLMAO:. Sorry, its my home. Hence why im asking for opinions. Hopefully you can help by actually giving me you true opinion. :giggle:

Hi Everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. I have prepared a submission of neutral comments in response to a planning permission application from my neighbor, and I would appreciate your feedback. Excuse the lengthiness of my comments, but could you all please take a look at them and provide...

How is the Party Wall Agreement a defense to such a claim? Who stops the builder from carrying out works that aren't within building regulations but have been signed off because they look fine on the outside? There are cunning ways in which some builders get away with things. On the contrary, I...

@^woody^ As mentioned by Woody, the claimant has to prove their claim. Even if there was a PWA, as long as it's a tight seal, it could help in a court of law. However, relying solely on that is doubtful. You'd have to bring more evidence, including surveyor assessments. If it's 100% known that...

There are two answers I could give you regarding the difference. 1. The roof has been there from day one and attached to his wall as part of an old shed from the home builds of 1949, so it's beyond our control and something that has to be accepted whether we like it or not. Him buying a home...

I have no objection to him butting up against the existing wall, but linking up to the existing roof is not an option. Regardless of the made-good element, would you accept something that would invalidate your warranty and roofing insurance entirely because of someone else's work? Someone who is...

Focusing on subsidence and foundation issues only. What responsibilities should a homeowner and their builder take on when building on the boundary line 2 meters next to a neighboring property that was built in 1949? Of course, the Party Wall Act applies. What preventative measures could they...

Thanks @thomp1983 , this is the thing. If I agree to his alterations, it would invalidate my roofing warranty. We had the roofs and fascias done 3 years ago. Plus, the neighbor has said he intends to move away in the future to sell the home. So how can I be sure of any future maintenance with...

Hi @Deluks @kingandy2nd @Murdochcat @mattylad @mikeey84 @^woody^, Thank you so much for your responses. Here is an update on the matter. Photos are below. He is actually doing a dual-pitched roof; I saw his plans today. On my land registry and title registry, including his, it states that the...

Thanks @^woody^ @mikeey84 @Deluks for your responses, I wanted to give an update. Today, my neighbor briefly explained his proposal. Although my shed wall, which is part of my property, is on his land, both of our title deeds this as the originally built in the 50s when the properties were...

Hi All, I was wondering if you could help me with a challenging situation. Basically, my neighbor is applying for planning permission for a single-storey extension. Before my neighbor moved into his property, he purchased it knowing the current structure, which includes my external wall being...

Hi all, I have a large driveway, approximately 35 sqm. To the right, I share a boundary with a neighbor who also has a driveway. Currently, I have a block paving driveway and I'm looking to install (3ft) fence paneling along a 3-meter length to create a partition between my property and my...

Hi, all I have just finished my wetroom and tanked all areas, to my understanding because this is a wetroom, therefore, all areas should be tanked. However, I have created a large concrete step that is spirit levelled and my worry is if I tank this area then should any water ingress via...

Hi all, Just finished, tanked and tiled the wet room. Would like to use epoxy grout. Does anyone have any recommendations, please? I have all the cleaning at hand because of the haze epoxy causes on surfaces, so ready for. I just need something waterproof and resistant with a reasonable...
