As skiking has explained with finishing the verge you can either finish with render (probably best) or finish with a barge board. A barge board would simply be a 6-8" piece of facia fixed to the brick work directley under the undercloak.

When fitting the undercloak bed this on with cement then use a straight edge ie 4x2" to tap down the undercloak.

Quote:

would not put a rafter on the outside wall just cut a short length with the birds mouth on then set inside the first block. You will then be able to finish the corner with a block cut down for rendering. Fix 2 noggins across to support the rafter, fix the top noggin as high up as you can probably on top of wall pate so only 2" high or so.

Have a look at pic to see what I mean. This last rafter helps support the facia.
