this has bugged me since you mentioned it being this way
was the house a through house between them both at one time ?
to me its a security issue just being a timber frame and plasterboarded with no actual wall to sepearte them both
I know it goes on with propertys
or have you had some boards up and looked between the beams and its straight through to the other house ?
Hi gaz
no no never a through house gaz, there is about 50 houses on this estate all built like this circa 1996, these were social houses built from new to rent out, then sold on at later date when they allowed people to buy them... Definitely no blockwork between party wall, just foiled backed plasterboard, I'll get some pics of it soon!
I haven't lifted the floorboards yet but know the beams are running front to back, but yeah I reckon I could see through neighbours house structure.
