Hi there,
I'm building a small extension into my back-garden and was going to build a wall up to the boundary line but my neighbour is keen to go halves on a party wall that he can make use of as well. The houses ares 130 yr old solid brick built. Any tips on the preferred / best construction method for the Party Wall - solid or cavity, thickness, insulation (in the cavity or on my side internally?) and any fire regs issues? I have a load of commons brick lying around so would prefer to build from that rather than block (also gives more finishing options).
Many thanks.
