Hello,
we have looked at an older house that is for sale. It is a terraced house. Besides other renovation work, insulation would need to be installed on the whole house. Two problems/questions arise:
1. Is it allowed to install insulation on the side facing the neighbor's property boundary if the house then extends into its plot accordingly? According to the real estate agent, the neighbor apparently has no problem with this and would be happy if this facade side looks nice again. Can one simply get a written consent from him for this?
2. The roof overhang is already very small, so it would have to be extended on all sides if insulation is added. How complicated is that? Who can do it? Are any permits needed for this? (This naturally also concerns the side facing the neighbor.)
I really hope you can help me (quickly).
Thank you very much!
