Party wall notice
I’m in the process of getting a loft conversion and my neighbours are tenants. I’ve spoken with the tenants and they’re okay with the loft conversion. Should I still serve the landlord with a party wall notice and do landlords don’t care about stuff like this. I don’t fancy going down the hole of getting a party wall agreement and getting party wall surveyors involved. Any and all advice is appreciated.
Tips for installing a stud wall
Do you need to buy all the materials/supplies as part of a package or from the same provider for installing a stud wall or can you mix and match from different suppliers and still have it work okay? Can I buy these from different places and how di I know that they’re compatible? I’m just looking for ways to save on money for this project as best I can without compromising the safety and success of the installation. Thank you.
