The "Binary 101" course was surprisingly difficult.

Even then you only need a Party Wall Agreement if you will be digging deeper than the neighbours foundations. If your extension will use foundations the same depth as your house then chances are they won't be deeper than the neighbours so no PWA needed. See para 28 on page 21.. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/523010/Party_Wall_etc__Act_1996_-_Explanatory_Booklet.pdf Remember that nothing can overhang the boundary so the wall might have to be slightly on your side to allow for the gutters or verge overhang later. Many builders seem to forget this point.

No insulation in the floor? Normally the combined depth of screed and insulation is sufficient.

That's as it should be. Materials hould be standard rated to you unless part of a supply and fit type deal.

Have a look at the title deeds for all the properties involved and discuss with your solicitor. There should be something in there already about the soakaway. Their right to use it and and maintenance. It will be difficult or impossible to add something that binds the neighbours unless the other houses haven't been sold yet, then the seller could add something when they are. If the neighbouring houses have already been sold the deeds should be available from land registry for just a £few. They are sent by email seconds after you pay. This is the real land registry Web site. Beware of fakes that charge more. https://eservices.landregistry.gov.uk/eservices/FindAProperty/view/QuickEnquiryInit.do?_ga=2.256197643.1208010228.1630642415-877028900.1600035571 You might also ask the seller for evidence the soakaway has been sized correctly for three houses.

I suppose there is a slight risk of problems with your vat reclaim if they were to investigate because they require the work to be legal. Unlikely though. Make sure you have claimed the CIL exemption and got the paperwork done for that.

Some weed killers have come close to being banned.

You can hire a theodolite for £20-£60 a week but modern ones are pretty complicated. https://www.zenithsurvey.co.uk/product/datum-theodolite-hire/

We have this. It's OK. Issues... A few times we have accidentally kicked a sharp outside corner in bare feet (ouch). Our sink is recessed and I do feel it in the back if there is a load of washing up. Think you will be OK with the Belfast sink if it's not too deep/low. The top edges of the skirting attract dirt.

Normally these are done by different people (Surveyor and Architect) so my guess is the Surveyor didn't want to do the street scene drawing. Our Architect was a bit of an artist and used pen, ink and watercolour to do the street scene.

Welcome to the forum.

Part built project for sale.. Great location judging from photos. Basement buit.. https://www.northantslive.news/news/northamptonshire-news/gallery/you-can-take-unfinished-grand-5841387.amp A spokesperson for Fine & Country said: "With superb countryside views to enjoy, this will be a wonderful home once completed at a cost estimated of £350,000 to £400,000."

Ideally you want words that say its based on the average of three valuations from estate agents you obtain. Then you tell 6 you want a valuation for IHT purposes and submit the three lowest ?

Near impossible to fix anything to raw Marmox. I built a washstand from it and let in blocks of wood where towel rails were going. At least with insulated plasterboard you have half a chance of fixing to it.

Im thinking something like..

If I understand your question you use something like this at the bottom of the IC.. Its not 100% ideal because "pipe"1" might need a 45 degree bend before connecting to the straight through port. If this area of the garden is hidden away you could put two IC next to each other so you don't need the burried 45 degree bend.

Is it some kind of bitumen based flooring adhesive they used to stick the wood to the wall? I reckon plasterboard and skim over it. Not sure what to fix the plasterboard to the wall with though.

Presumablyhe reckons it cheaper to reinforce the existing wall with gabions rather than rebuild it all. Only other thing I can think of is to see what if anything can be seen on old maps or aerial photos.

Angle grinder cut a |/ shape into that edge?

Put some steels in?

Will be a small heat loss but there always was going to be some through the concrete into the ground. No big extra problem. There is possibility of damp transfer across cavity but its going to be below DPC isn't it so no issue I think. I think I would check if I need a DPC/DPM between underside of steel and concrete post? Perhaps not.

If there was a loose electrical connection the combination of high current and high resistance in the loose ccontact could cause overheating. On some cheap plates the fuse holder isn't very springy so doesn't press on the fuse very hard.

Yes, sounds like the planners considered the proposed changes were too great to be an NMA and requested a MMA instead. But your architect went ahead with an NMA anyway.

Is the water level set too high on the float? eg so it's filling up too much and going down the overflow?
