Party Wall Surveying
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 is a vital piece of legislation, often referred to as an enabling Act, as it grants property owners the legal right to undertake certain works that might otherwise be considered trespassing or a nuisance. This Act applies to construction or modification projects that affect shared boundaries, such as party walls, boundary fences, or garden walls.
Protecting the rights of adjoining owners is at the heart of the Party Wall Act. It requires property owners to provide formal notice of any intended works that could impact neighbouring properties. This process ensures that adjoining owners’ concerns are addressed, minimising the risk of disputes and preventing potential damage to their property.
Party wall surveying is essential for navigating the requirements of the Act. A qualified party wall surveyor ensures compliance by assessing proposed works, providing expert guidance on legal obligations, and helping to resolve disputes. They also play a crucial role in facilitating party wall agreements, ensuring that the rights of all parties are respected and protected.
Whether you’re planning construction work or responding to a party wall notice, engaging an experienced surveyor is the best way to ensure a smooth and legally compliant process under the Party Wall Act.
