1. What is a Party Wall Agreement?
It is very
common with alterations to domestic buildings (even for detached houses) that
action under the Party Wall legislation will be necessary. Works that affect a
wall, fence or any part of your neighbour's structure, within certain specified
distances will require notification to adjoining owners in accordance with the
Party Wall Act 1996. This notification can be a complicated procedure and can
take a good deal of time. Jonathan can help you prepare a Party Wall
Notice, however it is recommended that if you might have an issue with party
wall legislation, you approach a specialist Party Wall Surveyor, who will be
able to advise you and guide you through the process.
