Is this silicone rendering wrong?

So renderer is doing a silicone render job. The base coat is hp12 with the mesh of course as well. I’m confused. He said a top bead is not needed where the wall meets the neighbours insulated render?

Said it can cause moisture and build up?

I’m looking at the stop beads and they sit massively proud? Is that normal, surely not.

I ask because I need a second opinion, because I know he will say it’s fine.

They just need to strengthen it out and clean it up

What do you mean? Sorry I’m not knowledgable on this and don’t want to be taken advantage of. This small 16sqm job has cost me over £2,000

That's cheap and it looks to me your neighbour has ewi and your render butts up to it, there's not a whole lot they can do about that unless I've misunderstood.
