Hi there,
Just joined because I would appreciate some advice on a party wall issue.
My neighbour and I share a party wall which is falling down. On my neighbour's land he has an extension to his property which is a few inches away from the party wall on his side. He has proposed the following:
1) He will remove the existing party wall.
2) He proposes that the existing extension wall will become part of the new party wall.
3) He will the continue the party wall in line with his extension and restore the 'return' for our garden gate.
4) He will render and make good the new party wall and side of his extension which faces our property.
The reason I am asking for advice is that the land which the existing party wall sits will then sit within our property. He has stated that this would benefit us however I am mindful that when he moves on there may be a dispute over this boundary.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I have looked at the Party Wall Act 1996 and this gives example notices and agreements which may serve as some kind of contract but i'm not sure if they would be legally binding on any future neighbours.
Thanks
