another question re. party wall agreement

[zielona]

I'm doing a loft conversion with PD, both my neighbours do not object to the construction - do I still need to do the written agreement and involve solicitors and surveyors?

Please advise!

You need to do the written agreement, signed by both affected neighbours. This is proof that they have no objections.
As long as they have no objections there shouldn't be any need for surveyors or solicitors.

Thank you but do I just write something myself that they do not object to the work being done and give them to sign it or is there a proper document for it?

Have a read through this.

There are some standard templates from page 28 onwards for draft letters.
Just make sure you use the correct one(s) for the work being carried out.

If they both agree and understand what is occurring, then just go ahead and do the work without serving notice
