Party Wall Surveying

The Party Wall etc. Act came into force in 1996 covering three distinct types of work- alterations to a shared (party) wall, the construction of new walls on the boundary, and excavation work close to neighbouring properties.

Where work falls within the scope of the Act it is necessary for a Building Owner to serve notice and obtain the affected Adjoining Owner’s consent. If that consent is not forthcoming the parties are deemed to be ‘in dispute’ under the Act and surveyors must be appointed so that the dispute can be resolved by way of a Party Wall Agreement, known as an ‘Award’.

Gateley RJA can act for both Building Owners and Adjoining Owners in respect of party wall matters.
