  • We were never served notice.

    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.
