I spoke with the council planning dpt and tried to get hold of the owner but property is rented and currently up for sale.
Also spoke with solicitor at the time - seeing as I couldn't get hold of the owner there wasn't much to be done. The party wall act really isn't that straightforward and I struggled to quite figure out what our possibilities were. I don't plan to be here that long (another 2 yrs max) but I guess just a bit concerned that there could be some issues.
I'll try and get hold of the owner again. Personally I'm inclined to take photos, skim and paint it
If the property is rented then I'd be making sure that the owner has had a building control sign-off. You could call BC to check that this was done. You wouldn't get a loft conversion done yourself without doing things properly, would you.
the plaster cracks will almost certainly be below where the steel supports have been inserted into the party wall. you would have little to no redress imo - just one of those things. patch it up and get on with things.
We were never served notice.
