If you’re planning to undertake construction work on a shared boundary with your neighbour, you might need a party wall agreement.
It’s a legal document that outlines the responsibilities and rights of both parties involved in the construction process.
The Party Wall Act was introduced in 1996 in England and Wales to help people avoid disputes with their neighbours when carrying out construction work on shared walls. This legislation sets out the procedures and notification requirements that must be followed when doing work shared with neighbours. By not following these legal procedures, people can be at risk of damaging shared walls, which can then escalate to a serious dispute with neighbours.
