Any surveyors care to put my mind at ease/inflate my panic attack?
We're having a loft conversion done. Terraced/town house. No dormer, velux windows.
I've just read about needing party wall agreements if there is to be any cutting into the party wall to support the floor reinforcements. The builders mentioned nothing about needing this when they came to quote, and have said nothing about it since we signed the contract and paid the deposit.
Builders have been onsite since this morning, installing the windows, and I've just read about party wall agreements. I asked the bloke who's in charge, he reckons there's no need - they won't be 'cutting into' the wall, and no RSJs required, just putting bolts in to support a beam that the joists will be attached to. Is he right? Or should I have got my neighbours to agree to this?
