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.

The wall is shared between the two properties on the line, and the new wall will be built one brick in.

He is a lap dog, she is a rotweller...I think she is likely to cause a noise if my sister tells her to stop.

Hi just got in, I'm awaiting on my sister to ring me back, she was waiting on the council. What's annoying her is this is going to cost them money due to there neighbours being sly.

My sister just text that the council didn't bother to reply to her previous phone call. She's back from
Working away this evening, so tomorrow she will go to the council offices then to the solicitor if nessasary.
Thanks.

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.
