Do I need to inform my neighbors or obtain their consent before proceeding with a loft conversion?
Before commencing your loft conversion project, it’s important to consider whether any of your external walls are shared with a neighbor. In such cases, you’ll likely need to establish a party wall agreement. This legal agreement outlines the rights and responsibilities of both parties regarding construction work that impacts a shared wall or boundary. While this process can sometimes be straightforward, involving the signing of a party wall agreement form, your neighbor may opt to consult with a qualified party wall surveyor, which may incur additional costs on your part. It’s advisable to discuss this matter with your neighbor and seek professional advice to ensure a smooth process.
