What is the Party Wall Act 1996?
The Party Wall Act, introduced in 1996, was designed to prevent and resolve disputes between property owners when building work affects shared boundaries or walls. If your planned work could impact a party wall or boundary structure, you are legally required to serve a notice to your neighbours. This includes projects such as:
Building a new wall on the boundary line
Carrying out structural work on an existing party wall
Excavating near a neighbouring building
Failing to comply with the Party Wall Act can lead to delays and potentially costly legal issues. That’s where we come in. Our experienced surveyors ensure all procedures are followed correctly, giving you peace of mind throughout the project.
