How Faulkners Party Wall Surveying Can Help You in Kings Lynn

If you’re planning on building an extension or making structural changes to your property, it’s important to understand your legal requirements under the Party Wall Act. Faulkners Party Wall Surveying King’s Lynn can help ensure that your construction project complies with the law, minimizing any risks and disputes that can arise in the process.

What is the Party Wall Act?

The Party Wall Act is a UK law that outlines the rights and responsibilities of property owners in relation to party walls, boundary walls and excavations near neighboring properties. The Act aims to prevent disputes between neighbors by establishing a clear framework for carrying out construction work in or around party walls.

Does a Fence Come Under the Party Wall Act?

It’s important to note that fences, in general, do not come under the Party Wall Act. This is because they are not considered ‘party structures.’ However, there are some exceptions where the construction of a fence may need to be considered under the Party Wall Act, such as if it is placed on or near the boundary line between two properties.
