What Are Party Wall Building Works Epsom?
When you undertake work that might affect a shared wall or boundary between your property and your adjoining owner’s property, it falls under the category of party wall building works that a building owner must consider. A party structure notice must be served for common types of party wall work, including necessary information concerning the regulations that must be adhered to.
- Constructing a new wall on the boundary line between two properties.
- Cutting into a party wall for beams or insulation.
- Demolishing and rebuilding a shared wall.
- Adding extensions that require excavation near neighbouring properties.
- Making structural changes to an existing party wall.
These types of projects are legally regulated under The Party Wall Act 1996, which provides a legal framework to minimize disputes during construction and ensures that all affected parties are adequately informed about the building plans and the work being planned to avoid any potential legal issues, including the schedule of condition.
Failing to comply with the Act can lead to unnecessary delays, added costs, and strained neighbourly relationships. That’s why choosing a trusted partner like Faulkner Surveyors is the key to a smooth and hassle-free process.
