Hi,
We are selling our 150+ year old terraced house. The buyers surveyor noted that there is no party walls between our attic space and our neighbours. This poses a fire risk and therefore he is unable to get home insurance until fixed.
Any suggestions on how to go about fixing this? Could we just affix fire proof curtains between the houses or will something more substantial be needed? And does this need to be performed by a certified contractor to fix this issue to a standard acceptable to the insurance company?
