Once you have established that the building work you are planning to carry out on your Hackney property is legislated for under the Party Wall Act, the next step is to issue a Party Wall Notice.

By the way, if you are not at that stage and need assistance determining whether the Party Wall Act does actually cover the work you are planning to your Hackney property, you are welcome to give us a ring for a free, initial discussion.

But back to the Party Wall Notice…  A Party Wall Notice is the formal means of informing your adjoining Hackney neighbour that you plan to make changes to the party wall.

A Party Wall Notice gives your Hackney neighbour the details of what you propose to do and when you are planning to do it. Your Hackney neighbour then has the right to give their consent or dissent to this Party Wall Notice.

You can serve a Party Wall Notice without the help of a Party Wall Surveyor.  But the input of a Party Wall Surveyor can speed up the process, ensuring that no mistakes are made, the details are complete and the impression you are giving to your adjoining Hackney property owner is of a professional undertaking.

If you would like us to draft your Party Wall Notice call Party Wall Surveyor Paul Brettell on 07815 051255 today.
