Well you can't force them to do anything. You might fall out with them or they turn out to be lunatics. If you keep it nice and try to help them it's likely they will do the same for you.
Ive had lots of extensions done over the years and not once have the neighbours asked for a party wall surveyor to be appointed because I'm a bloody nice bloke. And I've involved them from the off with the plans and been very open about the work and what the plans are. And whenever they have done work I've done the same for them.
You start getting formal with them and asking for reassurances and they might think you're a piece of work and a pain in the arse and it's not worth trying to be nice and help.
