Party Wall Act
Created to prevent disputes between adjoining property owners, The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 sets out a legal framework for undertaking construction work affecting shared walls, boundary structures, and certain excavations. Compliance isn’t optional—it protects your project from potential legal complications.
Our role is to simplify the process, helping property owners and developers meet their obligations while minimising delays or conflict.
If you’re undertaking building works, we’ll draft and serve legally compliant party wall notices on your behalf, notifying your neighbours of the planned works.
Should concerns arise, we’ll negotiate on behalf of both parties to reach mutually satisfactory agreements while protecting your interests.
Our surveyors have extensive experience producing precise and enforceable party wall awards to formalise agreements.
We prepare detailed schedules of condition, documenting adjoining properties before work commences to protect against unwarranted damage claims.
Should disputes arise, our team acts swiftly and professionally to mediate and resolve conflicts, ensuring a smooth project timeline.
