Ideally it should be going through the wall but I guess it can’t as the neighbours one will be in the same place.

Also it looks like the timber is a bit short and only a bit of it is rested on the brick.

And remedies to make it more secure?

There doesn’t look like any load bearing walls in the loft so I don’t think I can use struts to support the purlin.
