Party Wall Act
The Party Wall Act is a law that governs the rights and responsibilities of homeowners who share a boundary wall with their neighbours. This law protects both parties and ensures that any changes made to the wall do not negatively affect either side.

Our team comprises highly trained and experienced surveyors who understand the delicate intricacies of party wall matters.

Can My Neighbour Attach Things to My Boundary Wall?
The short answer is yes, but only if they follow the rules laid out in the Party Wall Act. If your neighbour wishes to attach anything to your boundary wall, they must first serve you with a notice under the Party Wall Act. This notice must include details of what they plan to attach, how it will be attached, and when the work will take place.
