They have their own down-pipe in the kitchen.

When we build the wall and add insulation l, there is no way we could keep the white pipe (neighbours’s) as it is.

Thank you

I don’t mind asking them but I want to know what my options are if they say no. Remove it? Live with it? And with 2nd option, if the pipe gets blocked or burst damaging our houses, whose responsibility it will be to fix the damage (their pipe but inside my wall)? no one seems to give a decent answer (we tried council, a lawyer, party wall surveyors).

Hi, I wonder if anyone can advise, please. Our neighbours built an extension less than 20y ago. When we bought the house we have noticed that there is some white pipe coming from their extension wall and connecting to our downpipe. In the house papers there is nothing mentioned about it. We have planning permission to build our extension now and our downpipe will be moved due to a wall going in there so we need to disconnect theirs. What is the best option to have it sorted out? We plan to speak to the neighbours but when should we do it - before or after the party wall award is drafted? Is it party wall matter at all? what are our rights if they say no to removal (can they?)?
