| The insurance issue was due to the Thames, for example in W4 the Glebe Estate is technically on a flood plain. My house was in Grove Park. It was a combination I was told of flooding and the "unknown" factors of a basement conversion. The house was insured, although I can't remember which company did it. The whole insurance/cherry-picking thing is getting more and more common. As for party wall, it's just a gentlemans' agreement really too. Basements will come back to bite, a friend in SW6 had the pleasure of one next door some 10 years ago, now their windows don't open and doors are tight, but no liability next door. |
