Loft conversions and party walls
The usual questions are whether the party wall is cut or loaded, whether a chimney breast is coming out, and who owns the house next door.
This is general information for England and Wales. It is not a decision on your building. Status: pending project-specific review by a qualified Party Wall professional. House-style review 27 September 2026.
What to upload
Existing and proposed plans, a section through the party wall, the steel layout if it exists, and a note of any chimney. If the house is split into flats, list the freeholder before anyone talks about service.
The two-month general rule for a party structure notice surprises people who have booked a builder for three weeks’ time. Tell us the real date.
