Ohhhhhh I have seen some, lemme have a think where, I know there was one in Bethnal Green that the Architect did themselves.
On a Dif note: Loft stuff again, our neighbours want us to cross the party wall so the two lofts but up (theirs is set back a bit, prob butted against the bottom of the party wall), doesn't sound like something thats legit although they claim their Architect son has done that multiple times.
Yes I would ask my builder if he ever replied to an email.

Surely the only sensible solution would be to build your side up to the party wall then modify theirs to meet you in the middle? Accepting that sensible in this case means not particularly feasible and therefore not worth pursuing

Sounds like they want to give you some space for free?
Win win! -
The solution is pretty simple then is it not:
You to 110 year old neighbours with architect son: "your son is an architect? How nice. could you get him to draw a cross sectional plan of how this will be built and I'll be delighted to do what you have asked assuming my builders can follow the diagram"
To the builder: "here is a cross sectional plan of how the loft will sit on the party wall - please build it this way"

Bit niche but just in case, has anyone got good examples of Victorian terraces that were extended without knocking down the back wall? This is currently our setup with a 90s/early 00s extension and looking for inspiration to see if we could avoid removing the back wall
