Party wall problems.
Discussion
Evening all,Quick answers needed please, my sister and brother in law live in terrace house, it use to belong to our grand parents who many many years ago built a conservatory the same time as there neighbour, with only a single brick between so no cavity, the new people that live there just popped around and told my brother in law that saturday there builder is starting to demolish there conservatory.
what there proposing in a day is to take the adjoining wall down and re build it one brick in on my sisters side, foundations and all, can they just do this, my sister is hopping mad and is away so can't do anything about it, it's a very old conservatory and is quite rotten but is water tight, they are looking in a couple of years time to rebuild it with double footings, but I'm sure there neighbours won't pay out for this. She is not sure what they are proposing to build in its place. Should they go to the council.

My sister and brother in law went to see the neighbour late last night, all is now good the wall stays and they are building inside there boundary, also it's agreed that they will back fill under the party wall if they find no foundations. My sister and i thanks you all for your help.
