trying to get the loft converted and need party wall agreement with both neighbours (we are mid terrace). both sides are great neighbours (we've only been there for a month and already get along real well) however it's really sad to say that both sides are tenants and not owner occupiers. this means dreaded party wall stuff where i have to get the legal owners to give consent otherwise i won't be allowed to do the conversion legally.
real shame as both neighbours have agreed for me to carry out the works but in the great scheme of things that doesn't really matter as they don't have the over riding say. now if both landlords want an independent surveyor to come round and do a survey this could realistically cost me over 1k each side. one side is owned by the council so they will without doubt be difficult about this.
a guy across the road got his party wall agreed within minutes with his respective neighbours. just seems it's going to drag on and on for me now :-(
don't suppose anyone has experience of the complexities surrounding party wall stuff? especially when it involves council properties?
i'm not holding my breath....
