The Party Wall Act
The Party Wall Act is a statutory legal framework designed to prevent and resolve disputes related to party walls, structures, boundaries, and excavations near neighbouring properties. If you are a building owner planning works that fall under the Party Wall Act, you must provide adjoining owners with a party wall notice within a clear timeframe.
Adjoining owners have the right to consent or raise concerns about the proposed works. In cases of disagreement, the Party Wall Act provides a structured process to resolve disputes and encourage dialogue between parties.
When to Consider the Party Wall Act
The Party Wall Act applies to the following types of work:
- Modifications to shared walls (party walls) between semi-detached or terraced houses.
- Work involving shared party structures such as floors between flats.
- Alterations to garden boundary walls.
- Excavation works or underpinning within 3-6 meters of a party wall.
- Loft conversions requiring cuts into a party wall.
- Installing a damp proof course into a party wall.
- Increasing the thickness or height of party walls.
- Building a second-storey extension above a shared wall.
- Constructing a new wall up to or off a party wall.
If you have any questions about the Party Wall Act or need assistance with party wall notices or dispute resolution, please feel free to get in touch.
