PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Why did your Party Wall surveyor not manage this issue as the work progressed? That's what the Party Wall Act was put there for.
Or does it perhaps not apply in Scotland?
It doesn't.
In any event, I presume from the OP that there was no consultation from the neighbours before work started.0 -
Thanks for your help. It is in Scotland, so therefore Scottish law applies.
There was no consultation prior to any work being undertaken, and it looks as if it has been undertaken by himself with no professional builders involved and no planning/ building consultation with the local authority.0 -
The council should be interested in the lack of building warrant, so complain to them on that basis. They may also have needed planning permission.
Separately, get quotes for repairs and then ask the neighbour to pay for your contractor to fix their work (you choose, they pay - don't let them DIY!).0
