Renovating your house is an exciting project! Before you get started, it is important to consider how the renovations, for example, loft conversions or a home extenstion, may affect your neighbours. Generally, it is important to inform your neighbour of any plans to renovate your house. Doing so allows them to be prepared for the disruption that the renovations may cause and to communicate any concerns that they may have.

You may also want to check in with your local authority to see if any permits are required for your renovations. Additionally, if your renovations will be noisy or disruptive, it is courteous to make sure that your neighbour is aware of the timeline of the project, so they can plan accordingly.

If you have concerns that the renovations may affect your neighbour’s home in any way, it is best to discuss these with them. This is a great opportunity to build a good relationship with your neighbour and ensure that everyone is happy with the renovation plans.
