Your Responsibilities Under the Party Wall Act

If your proposed project falls under the scope of the Party Wall Act, you must take the following steps:

1. Serve a Party Wall Notice

You are legally required to notify all adjoining property owners about your planned works. The notice must be served at least two months before work begins for most projects, or one month for excavation works.

2. Obtain Consent or Resolve Disputes

Once the notice is served, the adjoining owners have 14 days to respond. They can:

  • Consent to the works
  • Dissent and appoint a Party Wall surveyor
  • Do nothing (in which case, a dispute is automatically assumed after 14 days)

3. Appoint a Party Wall Surveyor

If there is a dissent or dispute, both parties can appoint a single agreed surveyor, or each party can appoint their own. The surveyor(s) will then draft a Party Wall Award, a legally binding document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of both parties.

4. Comply with the Party Wall Award

The Award will detail the terms of the work, including permitted hours, protective measures, and methods for resolving damage or disputes. Compliance with the Award ensures that both parties are protected throughout the project.
