Until they serve you with a letter, nothing. Whatever they do present to you should explain the process.

I'd say, as a minimum, you want to request that they have a joint surveyor do a party wall survey. It's the sensible option to cover yourselves but also keeping the cost down for your neighbour.

I’m on the other side of this.
At some point you’ll have 4 options to choose from, I’ll paraphrase…- Yeah no worries go nuts
- No issues, but let’s be sensible.
- I don’t trust you.
- I don’t trust you or any professional you hire.
Fwiw I’d recommend option 2 as it helps protect both parties. We signed option 1 with our neighbour which was prob a little careless although there were no issues. I have a problematic neighbour who goes for option 4 every time.
- Yeah no worries go nuts

I waited for our Catford neighbours to get in touch and then their builder stuck a load of steel in the party wall, built something that was nothing at all like the plans and fucked off. I’ve still not heard anything. I suggest being proactive.

Agree with the above. When I had my loft done the steels, which involved the party walls, were done on the very first day

Neighbours doing a loft extension so we've received all sorts of letters from prospective surveyors for the party wall etc... What do we actually need to do / ask in this situation if we're happy for them to get the loft done?
