Depending on the kind of work you want to do on your property, it is best to hire the services of a surveyor that will assist you with all you need to prevent or resolve a dispute. The party wall works when there is a renovation work near the party wall, excavating near the wall or any work that may infringe on the rights of the adjoining owner.

Who is an adjoining owner?

According to the Party Wall etc Act 1996, an adjoining owner is one that shares a boundary with you. The boundary can be a wall, a fence line, a boundary line, a ceiling, chimney or any other separation along the shared boundary.

Why must I serve a notice?

A party wall etc Act notice is a must for all owners that want or have any renovations on their property. The notice is to inform the adjoining owner of the work to be carried out on the property and detail of all the information needed. This is because home improvements can be noisy and disrupt the peace of the neighbor. Also included in the party wall notice is the time duration every day when the job starts and end which must be adhered to without fail.
