If they submit a notice, you have right to get a Party Wall Surveyor and they have to pay.
Do so, ask Surveyor important questions, problem solved. -
Check their plans, I am sure they must be adding a proper structural wall to hold top the roof?

I found this guide quite informative:

1860's terraced house, solid party wall, and they're doing a full-width extension up against ours (the arrow points to our bathroom to be).
If they're making use of your existing extension wall I think they should be liable for enclosure, i.e. they're saving money on building the outer leaf of the wall by using yours to form the cavity/or new space then so should compensate you. Or they build their own wall, i.e. blockwork or brickwork up to the line of juncture.

We're finally buying our first place (!), and should complete at the end of the month, but the neighbour has just submitted a party wall notice and I wouldn't mind a little bit of forum advice if anyone can help?

In their plans it doesn't look like they're adding an additional wall to have a cavity between the party wall and their internal, just insulating the solid wall.
Is this normal? I always thought building regs required cavity walls between these days.
