Dear Robert &Julia

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns and disagreement regarding the proposed loft conversion project at 44 Warwick Road under the Party Wall Act.

First and foremost, I want to emphasize that I value our neighborly relationship and understand the importance of homeowners making improvements to their properties. However, after carefully reviewing the plans for your loft conversion project, I believe it is necessary to voice my concerns about the potential impact on my property and well-being.

My primary concerns are as follows:

Structural Integrity: The Party Wall Act is in place to protect the structural integrity of adjoining properties. Given the proximity of our homes, I am concerned that the proposed construction may pose risks to the stability of our shared wall and, by extension, my property.

Noise and Disruption: Loft conversions often involve significant construction work, which can lead to excessive noise and disruption. As someone who works from home and values a peaceful environment, I worry that the construction activities could adversely affect my ability to concentrate and work effectively.

Privacy: Loft conversions may also impact the privacy of adjoining properties. With the potential for increased windows and the alteration of existing structures, I am concerned about the intrusion of privacy into my home.

Property Value: Any structural changes and potential issues arising from the construction could affect the market value of both our properties. It is crucial that we address these concerns to protect our long-term investments.

I would like to propose that we engage in open and transparent communication regarding your loft conversion project. This will allow us to discuss in detail how these concerns can be mitigated to ensure that the project proceeds smoothly and without adverse effects on my property and quality of life. I believe that a cooperative and collaborative approach can lead to a mutually agreeable resolution.

To this end, I kindly request that we consider appointing a Party Wall Surveyor to facilitate the process and ensure that our respective interests are adequately protected under the Party Wall Act. This independent third party can help mediate any disputes and provide professional guidance to ensure the project's compliance with the law.

I look forward to discussing this matter with you in more detail and working together to find solutions that are fair and respectful of both our interests. Please let me know your thoughts and availability to meet and discuss the proposed loft conversion project further.

Thank you for your understanding, and I hope we can find a resolution that benefits both parties and preserves our positive neighborly relationship.

Sincerely,

Gabriele D'alessioo
