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?
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).
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.
