A recent RICS Level 2 survey completed revealed the property was previously fire damaged. Further investigations revealed this occurred back in 2009 where the fire commenced in the adjoining property - surprised to see the firebreak wall still has gaping holes in it despite the event and attempts to repair. Fire break walls restrict fire spreading between properties. If you are having your property re-roofed make sure any such walls are fire stopped up to the underside of the underlay/roof covering and that gap above the underlay between battens is also fire stopped along with any shared boxed eaves etc. If it's a shared gap, fire will find a way to get through.
