I live in a ground floor flat. The people in the flat above me are about to do fairly extensive work including a loft conversion and relocating the kitchen. We have drawn up a ‘licence to carry out works’ but I wonder if I should be doing anything else before the work starts? Would it count as party wall if they are upstairs from me? Should I have proof of the state of my flat before they start so I can prove damage if it happens due to the works?
