Neighbours attached boiler to party wall

If the noise from the boiler is unbearable and loud, then it is an issue for the environmental health

Here is the proper definition as stated in Party Wall Act 1996:

What is a party wall?

The Act recognises two main types of party wall.

Party wall type (a)

A wall is a "party wall" if it stands astride the boundary of land belonging to two
(or more) different owners.
Such a wall:
is part of one building (see diagram 1), or
separates two (or more) buildings (see diagram 2), or
consists of a “party fence wall” (see diagram 3).
A wall is a "party fence wall" if it is not part of a building, and stands astride the
boundary line between lands of different owners and is used to separate those lands
(for example a garden wall). This does not include such things as wooden fences.

Party wall type (b)

A wall is also a “party wall” if it stands wholly on one owner’s land, but is used by
two (or more) owners to separate their buildings (see diagram 4).
An example would be where one person has built the wall in the first place, and
another has butted their building up against it without constructing their own wall.
Only the part of the wall that does the separating is "party" - sections on either side
or above are not "party".
The Act also uses the expression "party structure". This is a wider term, which
could be a wall or floor partition or other structure separating buildings or parts of
buildings approached by separate staircases or entrances (for example flats) – see
diagram 5.

basically only major changes to the party wall have to notified. things like shelves etc.. are allowed. hanging a boiler on the wall is not a major change.
in small terraced houses, the only place to put a wall mounted boiler may well be the side wall and not the usual end wall. the flue will then have to exit at right angles.

the flue exit and any noise, in relation to you, are another matter, and are covered by other rules/regs.

Ormus - thanks but which 'other rules and regs'? That is what I am trying to determine.

The neighbours recited their boiler into the kitchen after moving in - when I was in my property. I know this, as I saw their house when it was first for sale.

What cocerns me is that my utility room has a big hole in the wall (covered up by a wooden slatted piece of wood), and the neighbours most recent boiler flue stands very close (i.e. almost nudging) at right angles.

I think what I posted also applies if the boiler was moved.

Answer: A wall for holding parties...lol lol

On a serious note, an internal wall that separates two houses is known as a party wall

are you from from where I'm guessing you are from?

Good afternoon,

Can you post (or otherwise link to ) a photo of the offending flue arrangement?
It would save a lot of speculation, and give you a definitive answer.
