Understanding the Party Wall Act 1996

About

Understanding the Party Wall Act 1996

The Party Wall Act 1996 applies to construction work that:

  • Involves work on an existing party wall or structure.
  • Entails building a new wall at the boundary line.
  • Requires excavation within 3 to 6 meters of a neighboring property, depending on the depth of the excavation.

Before commencing any work, property owners must serve notice to affected neighbors, allowing them time to agree, dissent, or request modifications. This process ensures clarity and legal protection for all parties involved.

2. Drafting and Serving Party Wall Notices

For any building project, properly serving a party wall notice is a fundamental first step. This notice informs adjoining owners of your planned work and outlines the scope of what you intend to do. Faulkner Surveyors handles this process with precision, ensuring notices are accurate, compliant, and served in a timely manner.

3. Representing Adjoining Property Owners

If you’re on the receiving end of a party wall notice, we represent neighbouring property owners’ interests. Our surveyors review the proposed work, identify potential risks, and raise any necessary concerns. This independent representation ensures your property and interests are protected from unwelcome impacts.

4. Comprehensive Party Wall Agreements

For many projects, a formal party wall award is required. This legally binding document defines the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved. A chartered surveyor from Faulkner Surveyors drafts these agreements, including the recording of condition, schedules of condition, and dilapidations, to ensure they are thorough, fair, and in line with the protocol of the Party Wall Acts, fully compliant with the law.

5. Independent Dispute Resolution

Construction projects often carry the risk of disagreements, but with Faulkner Surveyors acting as impartial professionals, conflicts can be resolved effectively. Our balanced approach ensures equitable outcomes for both property owners purchasing their new home, allowing projects to proceed without unnecessary friction, even if there are significant defects present and when making an informed final decision based on a professional survey report regarding the purchase price.

5. Pre-Construction Condition Surveys

Before any work begins, we conduct in-depth inspections of adjoining properties to document their condition. These condition schedules provide a baseline, reducing the risk of disputes over damages that may (or may not) arise during construction.
