• Having just bought a small semi, with vague plans to knock a wall out and stick a box on the back, I've been hoovering up the advice in this thread - thanks all!

    The other semi have just started works on a (pretty ugly but hey) box to extend the space in the roof. I'm not against the works really - live and let live with our future plans hopefully.

    Question is: should I be requesting a party wall agreement? It's a bit late I guess: they're already up there and rebuilding the (shared) parapet but only started last week on ~10w project...

    Any experience on post-start PWAs?

  • should I be requesting a party wall agreement?

    Yes. My understanding is, and I'm not a lawyer, is that a party wall agreement should be in place before any works starts and they are in breach of the law if they haven't done that.

    Edit: I'd take photos of your walls in bedrooms as a bare minimum now, so if there is damage you have evidence of what the wall looked like.
