You will need to serve a notice under the Party Wall Act, and will need
buildings regs approval. Things you need to consider are the (potentially)
unbalanced weight of next door's chimney, and if you floor joists are
supported by the breast at all.

You're looking at probably at least a day's work taking it out, another
making good, and of course disposal of a lot of waste. Best give a few

local
builders a call, as the charge will vary depending on what is actually
there - does the stack still continue above the roof line?

Also, as your stack has already been removed downstairs, I would imagine
this will require some extra support during removal 'just in-case',

although
I'm not sure.

Sorry, completely forgot to mention the most important bit (too late in the
day I think) regarding support of the remaing stack in the attic space &
above the roof line.

Owain said it all in his post.
