The neighbours should be cool - we have been superhumanly tolerant of the building work that they have been doing for the past 18 months (loft conversion, rear extension) that has damaged out roof, knocked down a wall, and fucked the drains.
It would even save them the cost of rendering the wall that would be an internal wall to the side return extension.

You want to use their wall as your wall? No dice baby, you haz to build your own.

Got 5 quotes, came in at 16, 30 and 40, the other 2 were too expensive. Went with the Middle one as the cheap one just didn't seem realistic, and it ended up costing 21 as the builders left the job before they had finished. Golden rule pay in quarterly instalments At the end of each finished section of work. This is what I was advised by the guy doing the plans, who I then employed to do the job. Luckily I was able to remind him of this when he kept asking for early payments. Cost another 3 to get someone else to finish but most of it was done by the time they sloped off. By the way that website I linked to earlier is probably in the region of 50 upwards, so it was out of my league but great for showing the builder what you would want like and I managed to replicate one of them. Good luck, but ther are plenty of firms in London doing this type of work, if you're in North London I can give pointers

just be aware of "party wall" when making plans for side return, you'll have to get permission from neighbour if its on the boundary / too close - 2 metres I think? Anyone doing the plans should know
