Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Party Wall etc. Act 1996?
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 enables three areas of proposed work: work to a party structure (e.g. shared chimney), the construction of new boundary walls (either astride or at the boundary on one owner’s land) and excavation work within 3m and 6m of the neighbouring property.
What should I do if I receive a party wall notice?
If you are the adjoining owner, you should speak with a suitably qualified surveyor for independent advice on what the potential implications of the works are. The proposed works may be complex in nature and appointing your own Surveyor may be the most appropriate option. The surveyor will advise you on how the proposed construction work could impact your property and how to mitigate the risk the proposed development poses.
What Is an Award and do I need one?
The Party Wall Award is a legal document outlining the party’s rights and responsibilities in relation to the notifiable party wall works. The appointed Party Wall Surveyor(s) will draft the Award in accordance with the Act and serve it on the building and adjoining owners.
How much does the Party Wall process cost?
The Party Wall Surveyor fees depend on the nature and extent of the works. Please contact us to understand more about our fee structure for Party Wall matters.
