A party wall is simply a wall or boundary that separates two properties. This might include walls between semi-detached or terraced homes, dividing garden walls that sit on the boundary line, or even ceilings and floors in a shared building like a block of flats, as outlined in the RICS guidelines.

The concept of party wall building works Newcastle Under Lyme applies to construction that may directly impact these walls or the structural integrity of neighbouring properties.

  • Building an extension that comes up to, or sits on, your property’s boundary.
  • Carrying out loft conversions requiring modifications to a shared wall.
  • Demolishing or rebuilding dividing walls or shared boundary structures.
  • Excavating near a neighbouring property, which could affect their foundations.

The Party Wall Act 1996 was created to simplify these situations. It provides a clear legal framework for notifying neighbours of your building plans, securing their consent, and resolving any disagreements that may arise.
