I am slightly scared to ask this question as I am dreading the possible answers!!
My neighbours started a loft conversion a few weeks ago, no planning permission as it falls under permitted development.
The thing is we've just found out that they haven't gone through the process they should have gone through - we are semi detached with their property.
Apparently they should have told us in writing two months before starting work (never happened, only told us verbally about week before starting). And also they have not had a party wall agreement drawn up.
I've read a bit about party wall agreements online and am now really worried in case their building work causes damage to our property and they don't want to pay to put it right.
Would they still have an obligation to make right any issues even though there is no PWA?? I'm hoping so as after all it's their fault that the legal process hasn't happened.
Does anyone have experience of this?
