Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a Party Wall Notice, and when do I need one?

A Party Wall Notice is a legal requirement when you're planning building work that affects a shared wall or boundary. This includes loft conversions, extensions, or any excavation near neighbouring properties. It must be served to your neighbours in advance to avoid disputes and ensure compliance with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996.

2. What happens if I don't serve a Party Wall Notice?

Failing to serve notice can lead to legal disputes, project delays, or even forced work stoppage. It’s a legal obligation and ignoring it could end up being far more costly in the long run.

3. What is a Party Wall Award?

A Party Wall Award is a legally binding document prepared by surveyors when there’s a dispute or as a precautionary step. It sets out the work to be done, how and when it will be carried out, and protects the interests of both property owners.

4. How long does the party wall process take?

The process typically takes a few weeks from the time notice is served. However, if your neighbours consent quickly, it can be quicker. If there’s a dispute, appointing surveyors and preparing an award can take longer.
