I have a little terraced house with a chimney stack I apparently share with my next door neighbour. I still have my chimney breasts but do not have any gas fires in the house. The bloke who owns next door wants to remove the chimney stack. Now I know absolutely nothing about building work or out like that and was wondering if anyone has any advice about the pros & cons, plus the legalities.
Why does he want to remove it?
get own builder to estimate price dont take his word for it, plus pro's and cons very difficult to reverse
Speak to a party wall surveyor. I would not be taking it out.
I have no idea mate.
I will not be paying a penny for anything mate. Its him that wants to do it. My concern is that I plan to sell my house next year and I am a little worried this may have an effect.
What happens if you want a gas fire in the future, I wouldn't let him tbh, could also affect the value of your house, if a new buyer wants a gas fire.
