Party Wall Matters

Navigate the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 with clear advice, proper notices, and professional agreements.

Understanding Your Party Wall Obligations

If your building work affects a wall or boundary shared with a neighbour, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may apply. This legislation sets out a framework for giving notice, agreeing terms, and protecting both parties during construction.

When the Act Applies

  • Work on or to a party wall (shared wall between properties)
  • Building on or astride the boundary line
  • Excavating within 3 metres of a neighbour's foundations (where deeper than their footings)
  • Excavating within 6 metres if your excavation would cut a 45-degree line from the neighbour's foundations

How We Help

We can act as your appointed surveyor or as an agreed surveyor for both parties. Our role is to ensure proper notices are served, schedules of condition are recorded, and any party wall award is fair and comprehensive.

What You Receive

  • Party wall notice preparation and serving
  • Schedule of condition (photographic record)
  • Party wall award document
