    I'm building up a floor-adding two bedrooms-on an existing extension. It's a terraced house, one of my neighbors has built up and his wall(party wall) will be the wall for one of the bedrooms. It's block on flat-I presume, Are there any benefits to adding a layer of drywall to the wall? The builder said he will just give it a coat of unibond and it will be okay, I'm thinking about sound, etc.

    you need to find out exactly what the construction is.....

    it wouldnt have been good construction for him to build block on flat and leave that single leaf construction open to the elements.

    when you find out exactly what the construction is, then you can see what options you have to comply with regulations...

    never make assumptions.

    adding drywall by dot and dab is like building a speaker to amplify sound from your neighbour

    I know this as i have it :(

    Your architect will advise a good solution, i just wanted to share that.
