About

Why Is the Party Wall Act Important?

The Party Wall Act ensures that property owners are protected during construction projects involving different owners and separate buildings, addressing important aspects of building, including fire safety.

It mandates that the building owner must serve notice to affected neighbors (adjoining owners) before starting the work. This process helps prevent disputes by creating a legally binding framework that both parties must follow.

Failure to comply with the Act could result in legal action, delays, and costly penalties. By working with Faulkner Surveyors, you can rest assured that all necessary steps will be taken to protect your interests and ensure compliance.

At Faulkner Surveyors, we prioritize clear communication and transparency. We guide you through the process, keeping you informed and ensuring that all parties involved are treated fairly.

The Process of Party Wall Building Works Southwick

Step 1: Planning and Notice

Before starting construction, you must serve a written notice to all affected neighbors and the landlord. This notice should detail the type of work you intend to carry out and the proposed timeline.

Step 2: Neighbor Response

Adjoining owners have 14 days to respond to the notice. They can either:

Consent to the work.
Dissent, which requires the appointment of a party wall surveyor.
Ignore the notice, which is treated as dissent.

Step 3: Party Wall Agreement

If dissent occurs, a party wall agreement must be drafted. This document protects the interests of both parties and sets clear guidelines for the work, including the potential creation of a party wall award that outlines the terms and conditions of the construction project.

Step 4: Construction and Monitoring

During the construction phase, our team ensures compliance with the agreement, conducts site visits, and resolves any issues that may arise.
