Calling all Lovemoney Expert Architects and Surveyors!

My nice neighbours are having a loft conversion and have submitted the letter Party Wall etc. Act 1996 Section 3, as we are part of a mid terraced property. We had a conversion 23 years ago with a small dormer to accomodae a full staircase. The letter states proposed works are to raise the Party Wall to form the checks of the new rear dormer. To cut into the Party Wall for the insertion of padstones / bearer plates and steel beams for the support of a new loft conversion. We are on a hill - my house being the higher of the two. Should I ask to speak with the Surveyor to make sure there will be no structural risk ? Anything else I should consider? Thanks. J
